  1. In Chapter 5, we learned many different types of differentiation.
    Section 5.1
    Examples:
    Expand.
    1) ln 1/e = ln1 -lne

    2) ln z(z-1)^2
    = lnz + ln(z-1)^2
    = lnz + 2ln(z-1)
    Examples:
    1) ln(x-2) - ln(x+2)
    = ln (x-2)/(x+2)

    2) 3/2 [ln(x^2+1) - ln(x+1) - ln(x-1)]
    = 3/2 ln (x^2+1)/(x+1)(x-1)

    Section 5.2
    Formula: d/dx lnu = 1/u X du
    Examples:
    1) d/dx ln(x^2+1) = 1/x^2+1 X 2x
    = 2x/x^2+1

    2) d/dx (lnx)^3 = 3lnx)^2 X 1/x X 1
    = 3(lnx)^2/x

    3) d/dx lnx^4 = 1/x^4 X 4x^3
    = 4/x

    Section 5.4
    Formulas: e^lnx = x
    lne^x = x
    Examples:
    1) 7 = e^x+1
    ln7 = lne^x+1
    ln7 = x+1
    x = ln7-1

    2) ln(3x-2) = 6
    e^6 = 3x-2
    e^6 + 2 = 3x
    x = e^6+2/3

    Next Sections:
    Formulas: d/du e^u = e^u X du
    d/du #^u = #^u ln# X du
    Examples:
    1) d/dx e^3x^4 = e^3x^4 X 12x^3
    = 12x^3e^3x^4

    2) d/dx 5^x = 5^xln5 X 1
    = 5^xln5

    More Examples:
    1) y = log 4 (5x+1)
    = 1/(5x+1)ln4 X 5
    = 5/(5x+1)ln4
    **The problem is log base 4...

  2. In chapter five we learned a few different
    types of differentiations.

    one is the derivative of a
    natural log.

    formula: d/dx lnu=1/u x du

    example:

    d/dx ln2x=1/2x x 2

    the twos cancel and you are left with
    1/x as your final answer.

    another type that we learned is
    e differentiation.

    formula: d/dx e^u= e^u X du

    example: d/dx e^x^2= e^x^2 X 2x= 2xe^x^2

    one more type is log
    differentiation.

    formula: d/dx log a^u= 1/ulna X du

    example:

    log 5 x^2= 1/ x^2ln5 X 2x= 2/xln5

    that is all!

  3. In Chapter 5, we learned many different types of differentiation.
    With logarithms
    Examples:
    Expand.
    1) ln 1/e = ln1 -lne

    2) ln z(z-1)^2
    = lnz + ln(z-1)^2
    = lnz + 2ln(z-1)
    Examples:
    1) ln(x-2) - ln(x+2)
    = ln (x-2)/(x+2)

    2) 3/2 [ln(x^2+1) - ln(x+1) - ln(x-1)]
    = 3/2 ln (x^2+1)/(x+1)(x-1)

    Formula: d/dx lnu = 1/u X du
    Examples:
    1) d/dx ln(x^2+1) = 1/x^2+1 X 2x
    = 2x/x^2+1

    2) d/dx (lnx)^3 = 3lnx)^2 X 1/x X 1
    = 3(lnx)^2/x

    3) d/dx lnx^4 = 1/x^4 X 4x^3
    = 4/x

    Formulas: e^lnx = x
    lne^x = x
    Examples:
    1) 7 = e^x+1
    ln7 = lne^x+1
    ln7 = x+1
    x = ln7-1

    2) ln(3x-2) = 6
    e^6 = 3x-2
    e^6 + 2 = 3x
    x = e^6+2/3

    Formulas: d/du e^u = e^u X du
    d/du #^u = #^u ln# X du
    Examples:
    1) d/dx e^3x^4 = e^3x^4 X 12x^3
    = 12x^3e^3x^4

    2) d/dx 5^x = 5^xln5 X 1
    = 5^xln5

    1) y = log 4 (5x+1)
    = 1/(5x+1)ln4 X 5
    = 5/(5x+1)ln4

  5. Different types of differentiation from Ch. 5:

    Expanding and Condensing natural logs are easy, when it's multiplication you add the terms, then it's division you subtract the terms to expand and you work it backwards when condensing...this isn't exactly differentiating anything but it makes things easier when you are differentiating.

    *d/dx ln u=1/u * du

    Example :
    ln ( 3x+2 )
    ( 1 ) / ( 3x+2 ) * 3
    ( 3 ) / ( 3x+2 )

    *d/dx e^u= e^u * du

    Example:
    e^4x^2
    e^4x^2 * 8x
    8x e^4x^2

    *#^u=#^uln# * du

    Example:
    3^x2
    3^x2ln3 * 2x

    *d/dx log a^u = 1/ulna * du

    Example:
    y = log 4 ( 5x+1 )
    1 /( 5x+1 )ln4 X 5
    5 /( 5x+1 )ln4
