4-4 Delicious derivatives of Exponential & logarithmic functions
Derivative of e x Ex 1) Find
Derivative of a x Mini Proof
Ex 2) At what point on the graph of the function y = 2t – 3 does the tangent line have a slope of 21? deriv (4.921, 27.297)
Derivative of ln x Mini Proof
Ex 3) A line with slope m passes through the origin and is tangent to the graph of y = ln x. What is the value of m? (0, 0) and (a, ln a) m = deriv @ x = a same slope:
Derivative of log a x change of base Mini Proof
Power Rule (Reminder): *Now we will have any real # as our exponent* Ex 5a) Find b) Find
Ex 6) If f (x) = ln (x – 3), find f '(x). State the domain of f '(x). Domain? Thinking x 3 BUT domain of f ? Can’t have ln of a neg # so domain of f : x – 3 > 0 (3, ) So domain of f '(x) is (3, ) also
Ex 8) Spread of flu modeled by equation a) Estimate the initial number of students infected with the flu. b) How fast is the flu spreading after 3 days? Need slope derivative evaluated at t = 3
Ex 8) Spread of flu modeled by equation c) When will the flu spread at its maximum rate? What is this rate? Graph the derivative & find max 2nd Trace (CALC) 4: Max Max @ x = 2.999 3 days Rate? From part b 25 students/day (Zoom 0: zoomfit)
