    Natural log of a sum? (not sum of natural logs)

    Homework Statement Find the derivative of y = x^2 + x^(2x)The Attempt at a Solution By looking at the equation I think I need to use implicit differentiation + natural logs. But I can't do anything with: lny = ln(x^2 + x^(2x)) So I assume I'm wrong.. Any help??

    Finding the derivative of an unknowable inverse function

    The answer is g'(5)=1/11 . If anyone is curious.

    Oh wow. x=1. That was very foolish of me! Thank you for your time man.

    Finding the derivative of an unknowable inverse function

    Homework Statement The function f(x) has an inverse function, g(x). Find g'(5). Homework Equations f(x) = x^5 + 2x^2 + 2xThe Attempt at a Solution I don't see how I can possibly find the inverse of this function. So I opted to use the derivative rule for inverses. f'(x) = 5x^4 + 4x + 2 5...
