Logarithmic differentiation |
2005-05-23 |
|
From Richard:
I need to convince myself that I understand the process of
differentiating y=xx.
The specific question is that if I have to take the logarithm of both sides
of the equation how can differentiate the following?
y= {(x+2)(x+2)}/{(x+1)(x+1)} - {(x+1)(x+1)}/(xx),
I have an idea that the differential of this fairly complex function
is itself ... am I right or wrong.

From Abraham:
Find the limit of [(1/(x+4))-(1/4)]/x as x approaches zero.
How do you use l"hopital's rule to find this limit. I know how to do it with multiplying everything by 4(x+4), and getting the answer, -1/16.But how do you apply derivatives with l'hopitals rule to this type of problem?
