The quick answer is that d/dx a^x = ln(a) * a^x. But why? Well, let's go through the steps so we can understand why the formula works. Firstly, a^x can be written as (e^(ln(a)))^x because e^(ln(z)) = z as th...

We are tasked with differentiating y = sin(x 2 ) ln(5x) This function is actually a product of the functions: sin(x 2 ) and ln(5x) Therefore the product rule will be required. First let's calculate the deriv...
