Title: Question about methods 3/4 exercise, course and relevant information
Post by: knightrider on February 03, 2015, 03:51:46 pm: Hi guys i would love your opinion and thoughts on the following issue.

so we will be starting differentiation in methods 3/4 .

And as of yet we haven't done these chapters.

Exponential and logarithmic equations and Exponential and logarithmic graphs.

is there anything in differentiation that will be assumed knowledge from the chapters we haven't done above?

looking ahead in the differentiation exercises i can see two that are The derivative of $e^ x$ and The derivative of $\log_{e}(x)$ .

Do these exercises assume we know how to graph them?
Also do these exercises assume we have done the chapters that i mentioned above that we havent done as of yet?
