What is the derivative of g

silent elm
jaunty pollen
silent elm
#

naw but deadass how tf does one do this

jaunty pollen
#

You need to use the product rule

silent elm
#

this was what i posted on my spam right after

#

if this is telling to my understanding

jaunty pollen
#

Alright alright, how is your understanding of the product rule?

silent elm
#

it’s absolutely fantastic

#

i understand all the fundamental things ab it

#

it’s just when it’s applied like this

#

i’m lost in the sauce

jaunty pollen
#

alrighty

so if i said to write the derivative of

g(x)=h(x)f(x), what would that be

silent elm
#

h’f+hf’

jaunty pollen
#

nice, in this case h(x)=x

so what is our g'(x)

silent elm
#

so x*f+f’*1?

jaunty pollen
#

not quite no

#

youve written hf+h'f'

silent elm
#

oh wait ur right im trim

#

😭😭

#

myb my phone died

#

so 1f+xf'

jaunty pollen
#

yeah
g'=f+xf'

from that can you find g'(2)? From the information presented

silent elm
#

ok so im confuzzed on what f would be but i got f+2(-1)

#

🥺

#

wouldnt it just be -1 tho bc the derivative from the graph (i lwk forgot tho bc I havent done math in a week)

jaunty pollen
#

youre right so far

#

what about the f(2)

#

dont think too much, just read the question carefully

silent elm
#

6\

jaunty pollen
#

so, g'(2)=?

silent elm
#

4

#

hold on lemme cook azo

#

y-6=4(x-2)

#

is the tan line????

#

@jaunty pollen

#

moment of truth

jaunty pollen
#

g(2) isnt 6 im afraid

#

but nearly

silent elm
#

oh wait

#

im slow

#

hold

#

one moment

#

12

#

y-12=4(x-2)????

jaunty pollen
#

that should be right

silent elm
#

LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

azo u dont know how my years i lost from my life trying to figure this bs out

#

for 30-40 minutes

#

lost in the sauce

jaunty pollen
#

all will now be well

silent elm
#

yes it shall be

#

do u have any words of wisdom for a new comer into this world of math

jaunty pollen
#

I would just say practice and refine, the more you do these things the less youll need to think about it

silent elm
#

mmmmm i like the way u think azo

#

and what math do u take in uni rn

jaunty pollen
#

I just graduated

#

I was doing maths and physics

silent elm
#

oh i see

#

holy crab son

#

ur different

#

bright young fella i see

#

well I hope u get a job or continue ur schooling mane

#

u just saved my life

jaunty pollen
#

you'll get there, just stick with it

silent elm
#

u ignited hope in a young mans soul (me)
