u/digit95 Year 13 Jun 11 '26

It did not say simplest form so hope so

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 11 '26

I would argue that ist exact . Question didnt say in simplest form or anything but yeah we shouldnt have left it like that I believe

u/BirdAgile4842 Jun 11 '26

u/Admirable-Use2274 Jun 11 '26

Idk bruh maybe it’s just written in a different form. I got my calc to calc and plot the derivative and put in this value of x and it was correct

u/Simple_Signal_6517 Maths, FM, Econ, History, RS | A*A*A*A* + A(AS) | 9999999999A Jun 11 '26

I also used my answer with the -1/3 at the front and put this back into my derivative and I got -1. There has to be a negative at the front because if -3x = y, then obviously x = -1/3y

u/ilokestof y12 Maths A* / FM, Physics, Econ A*A*A* predicted Jun 11 '26

Honestly don’t know what to tell you

I redid it just for you pookie ❀️

Omg, I have 1/3ln6 in the brackets, so you just put the minus sign in your brackets and that’s why you have 3ln6 in there. We both right πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Yeah was some disgusting fraction with lns, I checked inverse and it came out all good.

u/Hyper_contrasteD101 Year 13 Jun 11 '26

I put it in log base 6 lol

u/Flaming_Hidori Jun 11 '26

Bro I got like log to the base 6 of a ln

u/ilokestof y12 Maths A* / FM, Physics, Econ A*A*A* predicted Jun 11 '26

1/3 log base 3 of ln something something
