Chapter 5 Flashcards
What is the definition of the natural log function
Lnx = integral from 1 to x of 1 over t dt, x>0
Describe the natural logarithmic function
Domain (0, infinity)
Range ( -infinity, infinity )
Continuous, increasing, one to one
Concave down
Log property
Ln(1)
0
Log property
Ln(ab)
Ln(a) + ln(b)
Log property
Ln(a^n)
n lna
Ln (a/b)
Ln(a) - ln(b)
Ln(e)
1

— [lnx]
Dx
1/x , x>0
D
— [lnu]

What do you so when finding derivatives
USE ln RULES FIRST!
Anti derivative of 1/x dx
Ln | x | + c
How do you know you have to find the derivative with natural log
Denominator is to the power of 1
Need derivative of the denominator on top
How do you know when it is reverse general power rule
Denominator is raised to power other than 1
Make it so there is no longer a denominator and then have the derivative of the quantity outside the parenthesis. Then multiply by the power, add 1 to power, put it all over new exponent
What happens if the degree of the numerator exceeds or is equal to the degree of the denominator
Have to do long division
Remainder is over original denominator
Antiderivative
Sinx dx
-cosx + c
