Differentiate the given function. Simplify the answer.
f(x) = 28x*ln√x + 42
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + (1/(x^(1/2))*(1/2(x)^(-1/2)28x)
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + (14x*x^(-1/2))/x^(1/2)
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + (14x^(-1/2))/x^(1/2)
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + (14x^(-1)
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + 1/14x
... how do I simplify further to "14(1 + lnx)"??
28 x ln [sqrt (x+42)] ?maybe? I need more parentheses to understand.
[28 x/sqrt(x+42) ](1/2)x/sqrt(x+42) +28 ln(sqrt(x+42)]
14 x^2/(x+42) + 28 ln[sqrt(x+42]
The original equation is...
f(x) = (28x)(ln(sqrt(x)) + 42
Well then, the 42 is irrelevant for our purposes since its derivative is zero.
so
28 x (d/dx ln x^.5) + 28 ln x^.5
28 x [ (1/x^.5) .5 x^-.5 ] + 28 ln x^.5
28 x (.5/x) + 28 ln x^.5
14 + 28 ln sqrt x
To simplify further to "14(1 + ln(x))," you can use the properties of logarithms and combine the two terms. Here's how:
Start with the expression:
f'(x) = 28*ln(x)^(1/2) + 1/14x
First, let's simplify the first term:
28*ln(x)^(1/2) = 28*(1/2)*ln(x) = 14*ln(x)
Now, let's simplify the second term:
1/14x = 1/(14x)
Next, we can combine these two terms:
14*ln(x) + 1/(14x)
To combine them, find the common denominator, which is 14x:
(14*ln(x)*x)/(14x) + 1/(14x) = (14x*ln(x) + 1)/(14x)
Finally, we can factor out the common factor of 1/14 from the numerator:
(1/14)(14x*ln(x) + 1) / (14x)
The expression can now be simplified to:
(14x*ln(x) + 1) / (14x)
And since the factor of 1/14 is cancelled out in the numerator and denominator, it simplifies to:
14x*ln(x) + 1
Therefore, the simplified form of f'(x) is 14(1 + ln(x)).
