This week we found the derivative of functions like x^5-1/8x^2+1/4x. it's as simple as 5x^4-2/8x+1/4. we also found stuff like find f(x) with 6(3x^2=4)^2 xdx. answer resulting in 2(4x^2+4)^3 + c. something that i kept doing wrong was not putting the +c every time. but since we're doing it more and more that put + c in the end every time. It was all about the chain rule, U Substitution, and implicit differentiation. i never really know what to write in my blogs, for some reason my quizzes and tests i've been taken i haven't been doing good on them at all, why? i really do not know. usually all year round my math would be nearly an 'a' every time i take a test. this year, no matter how confident i am into taking it, i get bad results back, but luckily the key of MASTERS take place. im really not liking the f(x) xdx thing. implicit DIFFERENTIATION. i enjoy shapes as a whole. but some of the stuff is easy. the most recent quiz i didn't do good at all yet most of my answers are only half off or -.5 off. in a question on a quiz and test i recently get them right but get 1 thing that takes half a point off or something. for example. i did an answer to a question all right, in the end i put sec instead of tan. but everything else was correct. little things like that will take points to points off of the final results. another one would be finding the equation of the tangent like. i knew exactly 100% how to do it but -.5 because it wasn't as close as its suppose to be. that is not the teacher's fault at all, that is all my fault for messing up little things in each equation.
