Study Notes
Derivatives
- The derivative of $f(x) = 3x^4 - 8x^2 + 5$ can be found using the power rule and sum rule of differentiation.
- The derivative of $h(x) = e^{2x} + \frac{1}{x^2}$ involves using the chain rule for the exponential function and the power rule for the rational function.
- The derivative of $g(x) = \frac{2}{x} + 4x^2$ requires applying the power rule for differentiation to the polynomial term and the reciprocal rule to the rational term.
Inverse and Logarithmic Functions
- The inverse function of $y = \log_a(x)$ is $x = a^y$.
- The value of $\log_2(8)$ is 3, since $2^3 = 8$.
- The domain of the function $f(x) = \log_3(x)$ is $(0, \infty)$, since logarithmic functions are only defined for positive real numbers.
