#Calc. 1 Chain Rule
1357 messages · Page 2 of 2 (latest)
It’s a mix of product rule and chain rule
If you can solve that then you can succeed in your exam
Isn't that just lovely
In the derivative part
Ok one second
Remember the steps
That’s the thing
Just give me result as it is
No
😩
Let me go back:
$f(x)=xln(3x^2^+4)=uv$
u=x v=ln(3x^2+4)
So:
$f’(t)=u’v+uv’$

yes

Alright now v’ requires chain rule which you may have a made a slight error when using it
v=ln(3x^2+4) right?
I stated that initially
What is f(x) and what is g(x)
x
?
and ln(3x^2 + 4)
That’s u
That’s v
🥸
No
u=x v=ln(3x^2*4) alright?
yes
Because of the product rule
We have to apply
yes we do
Okay now you said u’=1
correct
Now v’ requires chain rule to be determined.
v=ln(3x^2+1)=f(g(x))
xoh
What is f(x) and g(x)
Okay
Alright. Now plug g(x) in f’(x)
1/ 3x^2+4
right....... 😀
v’=6x/(3x^2+4)
u=x
v=ln(3x^2+4)
u’=1
Derivative of the main function is:
u’v+uv’
correct
Well now apply
Eve 🌷
it can be a fraction too
LOL i try
You forgot something
$f(x) = ln(3x^2+4) + x * 6x/3x^2+4$
Eve 🌷
6x*x=6x^2
Eve 🌷
Let me write with parentheses
Eve 🌷
$ln(3x^2+4)+\frac{6x^2}{3x^2+4}$
AstroGuy
Ok show off
Alright it’s finished
You can’t simplify it
How
Literally
if u can do it
to the second one
why not the first one
it can be a fraction too
Oh you mean putting everything on the same denominator
NOOOOOOO
No
two seperate fractions
although
not a bad idea yeah u can make it one fraction too
Dont
It’s gonna be a mess

There will be squared terms everywhere
Ok ill just leave it like that
Yeah
Nothing more to do
But you seem to sometime get confused
Always start by writing u and v
Actually you managed to do a lot it’s just minor mistakes
Well i also need to learn how to differentiate
the terms
Once you get u and v, yeah you calculate u’ and v’
Yes
Then: u’v+uv’
And you got the derivative
Sometimes you don’t need product rule
Because it’s one singular function
Just chain rule
well thats just power rule yeah
ln(x^2-2)
No product rule needed
But chain rule needed
You recognize f(g(x)) type of function
It’s called « a composite function »
x*ln(4x^2-3)
Ok i need to learn how to recognize that as well
Product rule + chain rule
this would be product
yes
so
OH
OK
SOOO if its basically like
Only two different types of derivatives
then its chain
if its more
like within each other
product is included
Yeah within you mean next to each other?
By multiplication
uhhhh no
like
how we had
ok well actually yes nevermind i guess u do multiply it as well
If your function can be split into two functions: product rule
yes yes
If you notice that one of these two function is a composite function then chain rule as well
Ok now it makes sense
Yayyy
ANYWAY im sure its late for you and my brain is actually fried so at this point im just going to accept defeat for this exam
When is your exam?
How many time left before exam
The thing is… i won’t be at peace if you don’t solve a derivative on your own
am
I know but u said u live in france right?
Yeah but it’s okay
No it's not okay
Just solve one without my intervention
Get rest LOL I feel bad
And I’ll go rest
UGHHHH I CANNTTTTTTTTT iT'S GONNGA TAKE ANOTHER 40 MINUTES
But you know the way now, don’t you?
I'm at a point where i'll throw up if i look at another derivative
We’ve made many examples
Please one last
More than i did going into this for sure
I will have to nap soon then wake up at 1 am to cram hahahah
Ok give it to me
Alright let’s say i give you one last function to derivate and if you succeed I’ll go off
Yayyyy
I will not succeed
But we can try
😁
$L(x)=3xln(2x^2+2x)$
Hello there
AstroGuy
Hiiiii
Ok, let's see
I named it L(x) so you don’t confuse it with f(x) which is for the part for chain rule remember
Oh Lord
I believe in you
How are you??
Very good I am trying to help someone for their incoming exam of tomorrow
Calculating a derivative
Composite functions
Chain rule
Hmmm
No.
You are solving it right now ?
Yes
Well tell me once you finish
wanna see
Im sure you can do it
what i got so far
Yeah
🥲
Show me
Ok
What was the function
But it’s the right answer
Seems right
what do i do with the 3x?
You did it!
You multiply it by (4x+2)
Oh
Ughhhh can i just leave it like that for now
You know i know
Awwww your giving me too much credit..
Im happy for you
Astro is the best baguette
Not enough 💀
He is
And you’re welcome
Smartest cookie in the bunch
AHAHAHAAH
The thing is.. it’s true that we eat a lot of baguette in France
Not even a stereotype
Because it’s a fact
Ouiii
Alright i think I’ll log off now
Take care of you guys
And Eve, good luck for tomorrow
Im sorry that i can’t help you any further
If they don’t ask you to use chain rule directly then don’t use it. Just use shortcuts like (ln(u))=u’/u
Or (e^u)’=u’e^u
Awww moi aussi
Yeah oui oui whatever that means
But chain rule will always give you the right answer
😂
Lollll
Thank you Eve
See you Eve! Take care of you
I hope for the best
Likewise ☺️
See you tomorrow
I’ll see if i can review some things with you before the exam
See youuuu
I didn’t see this but YES THAT WOULD BE GREATTT. I’ll try to pull an all nighter and if you’re up , I’m bothering you. Sorry!
You need to sleep
