hello,

i need some assistance on this problem:

y = e^(1+lnx)

1st. I brought down the (1+lnx) by using natural log on both sides.

lny*y'=(1+lnx)*lne
y'/y=(1/x)*1

y'=e^(1+lnx)*(1/x)

what do i do next?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
e^{1+\ln x}=e^1e^{\ln x}=ex
 
thanks,!:-p
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
