Continuity and Differentiability, Part 2

Five techniques for functions that are not written simply as y=f(x)y = f(x).

In this lesson you will

  • Differentiate inverse trigonometric functions
  • Differentiate implicitly defined functions
  • Differentiate exponential and logarithmic functions and use logarithmic differentiation
  • Differentiate functions given in parametric form
  • Find second-order derivatives and verify relations involving them
  • y=xxy = x^x
Slope $x^x(1 + \log x)$ is $0$ at $x = \dfrac{1}{e}$, the lowest point M.
