To calculate: The derivative and the domain of the function
Answer to Problem 24E
The derivative of the function is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The function
Formula used:
Thechain rule for differentiation is if f is a function of gthen
Power rule for differentiation is
Product rule for differentiation is
Domain of the function is the set of values of independent variable for which function is defined.
Calculation:
Consider the function
Differentiate both sides with respect to x ,
Recall that chain rule for differentiation is if f is a function of gthen
Apply it.
Simplify it further as,
Thus, the derivative of the function is
Consider the function,
Recall that domain of the function is the set of values of independent variable for which function is defined.
The logarithmic function is defined only for positive values.
The provided expression
Write it in interval notation.
Therefore, domain is
Hence, the domain of the function
