On the quiz that we took last Monday, I got a problem wrong. But, honestly it’s not just a mistake, because I sometimes do the same thing. The question was to find f’(x).
f(x)=sin^2{(2x-1)^4}.
1. take the derivative of outside: 2*sin{(2x-1)^4}
2. keep the inside same and take derivative of another outside(sin): cos(2x-1)^4
3. take the derivative of inside: 4(2x-1)^3
4. take the derivative of inside: 2
Finally, the answer is 16(2x-1)^3* sin{(2x-1)^4}* cos(2x-1)^4
This week, we learned derivatives of inverse trigonometry functions, natural log, and exponential functions. They were not that bad as long as I plugged in numbers in a right spot. We had lots of learning this week, and it's the end of chapter 3. Also, my participation in learning was good. I understood new concepts well, and I did my best to finish math homework in class. Posting blogs are not as hard as it was, because today I knew that I had to write the minimum of 200 words!
We will take a quiz on Monday, and I am going to review notes this weekend. I did not struggle much in this chapter overall. I feel pretty good with it, and especially I just submitted one application to a college!!! So, I am so excited!!!! Happy Halloween, Mr.Cresswell :)
