I never did implicit wth

its literally just chain rule dw.

I may be coping hard for not knowing how to solve it but that’s way harder than anything that’s realistically gonna appear in the HSC

recall log laws simplify from there and you're golden my dude.

Yeah ik but I never learnt it properly
Also ru accelerating 4u

nah im just doing it to get ahead. im only acceling 3u (smh priv schools and their dumb rules fr)

Just negotiate with head of math or smth brotha

too unrealisting tbh lol. but not impossible. let y=ln........... simplify and you'll get smn easy to diff.

There is the evil differentiation question from Ascham (evil if you don't know what to do to work it out, I mean)...

$\text{Find } \frac{d}{dx}\left[\log_e{\left(\frac{x^2e^{x^3}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)}\right]$

$\begin{align*} \frac d{dx} \left[\ln\left(\frac{x^2e^{x^3}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\right)\right]&=\frac d{dx} \left(\ln (x^2e^{x^3})-\ln\sqrt{x^2+1}\right)\\ &=\frac{2xe^{x^3}+3x^4e^{x^3}}{x^2e^{x^3}}-\frac{\frac{2x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}\\ \end{align*}$
i cant be bothered simplifying - is this correct?

expand the ln(x^2e^..) and take 1/2 out of ln(x^2+1) from your d/dx

just felt like product rule LOL forgot the 2 on the denom rip it's this right $\frac{d}{dx}\sqrt{f(x)}=\frac{f'(x)}{2\sqrt{f(x)}$

nah i meant u can expand further using ln(AB)=lnA+lnB and lnsqrtx=1/2lnx

4u is way harder than 3u ig

exactly hence why im not gonna try and persuade my teacher bc i think id be extra prepped if i waited the yr

going to make a fool out of myself but split using log law –> ln(x^2e^(x^3)) - ln(sqrt(x^2+1)) –> diff each?

Yes, split with log laws... and more than you have suggested. But, imagine trying to do it without using log laws first, so you need to differentiate $\frac{x^2e^{x^3}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$ ...

Luukas.2 · Dec 19, 2023

The derivative is...

$\frac{2}{x} + 3x^2 + \frac{x}{x^2+1}$

Luukas.2 · Dec 20, 2023

@eternallyboreduser, does this solution make sense for the question you were looking at? The part that I have left out is very similar to the solution provided.

$\begin{align*} y &= x^k + (c - x)^k \\ \frac{dy}{dx} &= kx^{k - 1} + k(c - x)^{k - 1} \times -1 = k\left[x^{k - 1} - (c - x)^{k - 1}\right] \\ \\ \text{Put $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$:} \quad k\left[x^{k - 1} - (c - x)^{k - 1}\right] &= 0 \\ \left(\frac{x}{c - x}\right)^{k - 1} &= 1 \qquad \text{as $k \neq 0$} \\ x &= \frac{c}{2} \\ \text{Put $x = \frac{c}{2}$:} \quad y &= \left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^k +\left(c - \frac{c}{2}\right)^k = 2\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^k \\ \\ \text{Thus, the stationary point is at} \quad &\left(\frac{c}{2},\ 2\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^k\right) \\ \\ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} &= k(k - 1)x^{k - 2} - k(k - 1)(c - x)^{k - 2} \times -1 \\ &= k(k - 1)\left[x^{k - 2} + (c - x)^{k - 2}\right] \\ \\ \text{Put $x = \frac{c}{2}$:} \quad \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} &= k(k - 1)\left[\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^{k - 2} + \left(c - \frac{c}{2}\right)^{k - 2}\right] = 2k(k - 1)\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^{k - 2} \end{align*}$

$\text{Since $c > 0$, $\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^{k - 2} > 0$, the sign of $\cfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ matches the sign of $k(k - 1)$.} \\ \\ \text{Thus, if $0 < k < 1$, then $k(k - 1) < 0$ and so the stationary point at $\left(\frac{c}{2},\ 2\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^k\right)$ is a maximum.} \\ \\ \text{And, if $k > 1$, then $k(k - 1) > 0$ and so the stationary point at $\left(\frac{c}{2},\ 2\left(\frac{c}{2}\right)^k\right)$ is a minimum.}$

$\text{Taking $c = a + b$ where $a > b > 0$ and considering the $0 < k < 1$ case, the maximum} \\ \\ \text{on $0 < x < a + b$ will be at $\left(\frac{a + b}{2},\ 2\left(\frac{a + b}{2}\right)^k\right)$. Since this is a local maximum:}$
