Math Problem Statement
Here Is The Story that happened to you earlier...
but today you're on board the spaceship #1625325007, and the captain is asking to solve tricky "ZP" (Z Planet) problem (you know what it means when captain is "asking"... that's an order):
(!!! If your answer is a fractions report it in an exact format, like 1010710107 , 2296222962)
Now, let f(x)=x^3x. Use logarithmic differentiation to determine the (ZP) derivative.
f'(x)=f′(x)=
(Enter the answer in simplified form)
f'(1)=f′(1)=
!!! The challenge is that some of the Z-Planet laws are different. In particular, "power rule" on Earth, ddxxn=nxn−1ddxxn=nxn-1 , on Z planet is "twisted" as the following:
ddxxn=n2xn−1ddxxn=n2xn-1 (ddxconst=0ddxconst=0) , and
the derivative of log function, ddxln(x)=1/x , turns into "ZP" oddness: ddxln(x)=exddxln(x)=ex .
all the other rules have not been changed.
Solution
We are tasked with finding the derivative of using logarithmic differentiation, while also keeping in mind the special Z-Planet (ZP) rules.
Step 1: Logarithmic Differentiation
Since , let's start by taking the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation to simplify the process.
Using the logarithmic identity , we get:
Now, differentiate both sides with respect to . Since we are differentiating logarithmic functions, we need to apply the Z-Planet rules.
Step 2: Differentiating the left-hand side
The derivative of using the chain rule gives:
Step 3: Differentiating the right-hand side
We need to apply the product rule to .
