Derivatives of "the rest" of the functions

After our review discussion of inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions, we are ready to move on to finding their derivatives.

Check you answers - chapter 3

You can download the chapter three solution manual to check you answers. I remind you that it is better to really try before resorting to the answers. It is too easy to give up quickly and check but the activity of really thinking and trying impresses the procedure on your mind better than reading the answer ever can.
