Week number nine in A.P. Calculus consisted of a couple new sections in chapter three. This chapter has brought lots of trials and tribulations. Blood, sweat and tears have all been exhibited over the last couple weeks (not really). The day that we move on from this chapter will be like graduating from high school. But anyway, this week we looked at section 3.9 which was about deriving exponentials and logarithms. When I first saw that we were dealing with BOTH exponentials and logarithms I thought to myself 'ohh great' and 'just what I needed'. The good news about the whole thing is in my mind, it turned out to be one of the lighter sections in the chapter. When we were given the actual derivatives of e and ln and all we have to do is plug in U and solve is very straightforward. As always, there are exceptions but I am good with handling extra stuff like that.
This week we also looked at taking derivatives of inverse sin, cos, tan etc.. Just like I mentioned before, I think it is a pretty simple process (for the most part). There are always a few things that I struggle to pick up but I am understanding the bulk of everything this chapter has thrown at me. That being said is a major shift from how I have felt in the last few weeks. Most concepts are coming full circle now, just in time for the big test this week.
