  • How do you find the second derivative?!

  • Yo dawg i herd you like x's, so I put a x to the power of x in yo power of x so you can derive while u derive while u derive.

    - X to the Z - X(z)ibit.

    where Z = X^x

  • if you don't replace (1/x)*(x^x) with x^(x-1), you can then factor out an x^x

    if you do that and distribute the (ln x) the resulting equation is indeed 'elegant':

    Dx[x^x^x] =

    x^x^x * x^x ( ln^2 x + ln x + 1/x )

  • dude U e a hero :)

    thanks a lot

    

  • you are my hero .. thanks :)

  • @khanacademy One of my stupid friends from class showed my teacher this video and now she wants us to differentiate the long equation at 8:31... omg...

  • THANK YOU! calculus exam in two days and I was so stuck. I'm definitely going to need to keep watching a few more derivative videos before i get the hang of it, but this was so helpful. thank you!

  • @Dave67004

    not that hard, no need to understand a rule from just 2 functions, you differentiate x^(nx) and ur done ^_^

  • @gypsytearss1

    than you just have to start derivating the complex numbers ... ln(-3) is actually a complex number which more precisely is (i*pi) + the integral from 1 to 3 of (1/x)dx ...
