D e^(b*t*ln(t)) + ln(x) respect to t

my answer:

t^(b*t)*(ln(t)*b)+b + 1/x

No. For the exponential function, the chain rule looks like this: d/dt(eu) = eu*du/dt.

Also, did you mean the ln(x) term to be ln(t)?
 


nope. It is ln(x)
 


And are you supposed to find the derivative with respect to t or is it the partial derivative with respect to t?

Your D' notation doesn't mean anything, so I can't tell what you are trying to do.
 


derivative respect to t <:

so:
exp(b*t*ln(t))*(b*ln(t)+(b*t*1/t)+1/x ?

= e^(b*t*ln(t) * (b*ln(t)+b)+1/x

Two things:
1) d/dt(ln(x)) = 0. As far as t is concerned, x is a constant, so ln(x) is a constant, so d/dt(ln(x)) is 0.
2) b*t*1/t can be simplified.

Also, it would be good for you to be more explanatory in what you are doing. For this problem, that would mean indicating that you are taking the derivative of something, with respect to some variable, and then showing what you arrived at.

For this problem, what I'm talking about is this:
d/dt[e^(b*t*ln(t)) + ln(x)] = exp(b*t*ln(t)*(b*ln(t)+(b*t*1/t)+1/x

Note that I copied your result verbatim, and the two points above still apply.
 
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...
