The function f is defined for x > 0 by f (x) = x^1n x. Obtain an expression for f ′ (x).

By taking the natural log on both sides we can see that: ln(f(x)) = ln(x)^2 This is a more familiar expression that we know how to differentiate LHS: f '(x)/f(x), RHS: 2*ln(x)/x By rearranging this we can se...

Given that y = 8x + 2x^-1, find the 2 values for x for which dy/dx = 0

First differentiate y with respect to x, which gives you dy/dx = 8 - 2x^-2. This needs to equal zero so equate to zero. 8-2x^-2 = 0. You can then bring the 2x^-2 to the other side giving 2x^-2=8. Dividing bo...
