A Practice Common Sense Problem

Calculus Level pending

Let f ( n ) {f}({n}) be the eigenvalue of the operator and function d n d x n \frac {{d}^{n}}{{d}{x}^{n}} and e n x {e}^{{n}{x}} . Evaluate f ( e ) / 2 {f}'({e})/2 . Yes, f is continous. And no, this is not the rage letter(you know who you are). The rage problem is below this one just in case. Round to the nearest thousandth.


The answer is 15.154.

The nth derivative of the of the function e^nx will multiply e^nx by n^n. Thus, f(x)= x^x,f'(x) = x^x(ln x), and the answer is e^e = 15.154

The derivative of x^x is x^x(1+lnx). Your solution is missing a factor of 2.
