What is the derivitive of 10^7X?

 

[miceheart]

oops!

 

[tivon]

y'=7(10^7X)Ln 10

I am not sure about my answer. Correct me if i am wrong.

 

[acetyl]

y= a^x
y'= a^x *ln a

You have to use the chain (?) rule as well and thus the answer should be as posted above.

y'= 10^7x *ln 10 * 7

 

[miceheart]

why you need the 10?

oh, i see, i got it wrong

 

[PharmMnM]

thank you! i totally forgot about that rule that acetyl said. so easy now that i see it.
