can anon derive f(x) = x^x ?

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-04 12:45

f'(x)=x(x^(x-1))

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-04 15:10

f(x)=x²
f'(x)=2x

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-04 15:14

x^x = e^[xln(x)]
f(x) = e^[xln(x)]
f'(x) = (1+ln(x))x^x

f(x) = x^x
ln f = x lnx
f'/f = (lnx - 1)/(lnx)^2
f' = (lnx - 1)(lnx)^2 * x^x

>>2

Only works for constant exponents

>>3

x^x != x^2

>>4

Correct.

>>5

How did you get line 3 from line 2?

He got there by implicit differentiation duh.

d/dx ln(f(x)) = 1/f df/dx

Yay I winz!

No shit.  But he did the product rule completely wrong.
I think he tried to use the quotient rule...

Quotient rue is for pussies.

It solves derivatives for you so you don't have to ask anon and get the wrong answer.

Don't change these.
