If $f^{-1}(x)$ is the inverse of $f(x)=e^{2x}$, then $f^{-1}(x)=$$a. \ln\dfrac{2}{x}$ $b. \ln \dfrac{x}{2}$ $c. \dfrac{1}{2}\ln x$ $d. \sqrt{\ln x}$ $e. \ln(2-x)$ ok, it looks slam dunk but also kinda ? my initial step was $y=e^x$ inverse $\displaystyle x=e^y$ isolate $\ln{x} = y$ the...

Hello all, I was just experimenting around with some derivatives and ended up coming across a function whose derivative is the same as the original function. I know that the derivative of e^x is e^x, but I didn't know it was possible for other functions to also follow this. I'm just wondering...

I learned that differential of e^x is same but what's so special about it? What makes is so special as it seems like a normal function to me other than the fact that e= sum of series of reciprocal of factorial numbers. What i want to ask is if e^x differential is e^x then do this rule apply to...

Hi. I derived a formula for the length of the graph of e^x in the first quadrant between x=a and x=b. It is: sqrt(1+e^(2b)) - sqrt(1+e^(2a)) + (a-b) + log [(sqrt(1+e^(2b)) - 1) / (sqrt(1+e^(2a)) - 1)] I think it works because it gave a value of approx 2.003 units for a=0 and b=1. For a=0 and...

how do you integrate e^X-e^-x/e^-x+1 dx i am trying multiplying by e^x and trying to make it into no fraction but i am having no luck

lim_(h->0^-) (e^(x+h)/((x+h)^2-1)-e^(x+h)/(x^2-1))/h = -(2 e^x x)/(x^2-1)^2 I know how to differentiate the expression using the quotient rule; however, I want to use the limit definition of a derivative to practice it more.This desire to practice led me into a trap! Now I just can't simplify...

I think this checks out... $$\int \frac{e^{2x}+e^x-1}{e^x+1}~dx$$ $$\int e^x ~dx- \int \frac{1}{e^x+1}~dx$$ $$e^x-\ln(e^x+1)+C$$

The problem I have is ∫(2e^x)/(e^x+e^-x)dx I cannot seem to get to the correct result, ln(e^2x + 1). I always have (e^2x)ln(e^2x + 1). What do I need to do, to get rid of the e^2x. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a rational function,not series, that approximates e^x ? for example (x+1)/(x+3)

Differentiation by first principles is as followed: $$y'=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\dfrac {f\left( x+h\right) -f\left( x\right) }{h}$$ So, assuming that ##y= e^{x},## can we prove, using first principle, that: $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\left( e^{x}\right) =e^x$$ Or is there other methods that are...

Reflect e^x at y=2 If you reflect e^x at y=0. You just turn e^x negative and it reflects On my homework it says the correct answer is 4 - e^x But it makes more sense for me to say its 2 - e^x. Can someone explain?

Hey Guys! I'm stick on this question, I know that the summation of n=0 to infinity for x^n/n! equals e^x In the question it wants me to come up with a corresponding summation for the function x^2(e^(3x^2) - 1) … I don't know how to manipulate it to get the -1. I know i can substitute x for...

Hi, I need this for part of a math project I'm working on. So as most of us know, e^x, when differentiated, is equal to e^x, hence it is its own derivative. Now, I could prove this quite easily with the Chain Rule, but my teacher said that this is predicated on too many assumptions (not sure...

Homework Statement ∫e^x lnx dx I don't really know how to solve it. The Attempt at a Solution This is what i have: ∫e^x lnxdx = lnx e^x - ∫e^x/x dx And my prof says its wrong, that i can go further with it with some method they discussed about ( i missed it :(

I'm wondering how to integrate something of the form 2^x * e^x. I tried using integration by parts, ∫u dv = v*u - ∫v du. The problem is no matter which term I choose to integrate and which to differentiate, the final solution still has an integral with a product of terms in the form (2^x)...

Homework Statement Consider the graph y = e^x Homework Equations Make an equation that results in reflecting about the line y = 2 The Attempt at a Solution I came up with 2 - e^x And when I put it in my calculator it makes sense. Just -e^x is reflected among y = 0 so if you...

Hi folks, If $e^x= \Sigma_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^k}{k!}$ what do I evaluate $x$ at? How does the sigma notation tell me what to do with $x$? $$e^x= \Sigma_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^k}{k!}\ = 1+x+\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^4}{4!} ... \text {ad infinitum}$$ Sorry, I just realized my error...

May sound trivial but I don't find it trivial from the things I am given as a definition of the exponential function: The exponential function satisfies f(a+b)=f(a)f(b), is the inverse to the ln and is restricted by the condition: exp(x)≥1+x I can't see how I can from this only proove...

Homework Statement What is the limit of e^x when x approaches zero from negative side Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Taylor series? Then the answer is put all x= 0 , and the answer is 1, but why the question ask from negative side?? Thank you very much

I recently thought to myself about how a slight modification to the taylor series of e^x, which is, of course: \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!} would change the equation. How would changing this to: \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{n/2}}{\Gamma(n/2+1)} change the equation? Would it still be...

Homework Statement I thought sometimes the integral of e^x is xe^x. Under what circumstances is the integral of e^x = xe^x? I think it has something to do with u substitution.

Homework Statement I'm just trying to understand a few things about the Maclaurin series for e^x... So, in one case, if you have a series from 1 to infinity of [(-1)^n * 3^n ]/n!, how is it that it is equal to e^-3 - 1? I understand the e^-3 part, as -3 is simply our x value from the...

I was searching for the proof of \frac{d}{dx} e^x = e^x. and I found one in yahoo knowledge saying that \frac{d}{dx} e^x = \lim_{Δx\to 0} \frac {e^x(e^{Δx}-1)} {Δx} = \lim_{Δx\to 0} \frac {e^x [\lim_{n\to\infty} (1+ \frac{1}{n})^{n(Δx)}-1]} {Δx} Let h= \frac {1}{n} , So that n = \frac...

Hey, I have to show: Should I try to find the Fourier series from -2pi to 2pi? I have tried this already but I can't seem to get rid of the cos(nx/2) and sin(nx/2) to turn them into just sin(nx) and cos(nx) and the denominator stays as (n^2+4 instead of n^2+1. Any suggestions would be...

Homework Statement Evaluate limx->0 (e^x - 1- x - (x^2/2))/x^3 The Attempt at a Solution I can't remember how to solve this limit. Do I need to evaluate each part seperately? I plugged in the 0 to find that the limit does exist. I just can't seem to figure out what to do next.

So I was just wondering why when you approximate using the Taylor Polynomials for something like e^x/x at x = 0 you can just find the approximation for e^x and make it all over x, could you do the same for like e^x/x^2 or e^x/x^3? I hope my question makes sense... thanks
