    @fmakofmako Před 5 lety +19

    I didn't read through the comments so if someone has already posted the derivative then kudos to them.
    The form of the derivative of x^^n for n >=4 is:
    x^^n*x^^n-1*(1/x+x^^n-2*(lnx/x+x^^n-3*(ln^2x/x+x^^n-4*(ln^3x/x+...+x^^2*(ln^(n-3)x/x+ln^(n-2)x+ln^(n-1)x)...)
    You can prove this by induction. The inductive step is shown by the recursion derivative of x^^n = x^^n*(x^^n-1/x+lnx*d/dx(x^^n-1)) and the base case is that the derivative of x^^4 is x^^4*x^^3*(1/x+x^^2*(lnx/x+ln^2x+ln^3x)).
    I put the base case in the same form as my answer to show that it's true because yt comments are hard to format and anyways loads of people in the comments did the x^^4 case.
    Moving on to the induction we have d/dx(x^^n+1)=x^^n+1*x^^n*(1/x+lnx/x^^n*d/dx(x^^n)) from the recursion. Then we plug in the same form from above.
    d/dx(x^^n)=x^^n*x^^n-1*(1/x+x^^n-2*(lnx/x+x^^n-3*(ln^2x/x+x^^n-4*(ln^3x/x+...+x^^2*(ln^(n-3)x/x+ln^(n-2)x+ln^(n-1)x)...)
    Therefore:
    d/dx(x^^n+1)=x^^n+1*x^^n*(1/x+x^^n-1*(lnx/x+x^^n-2*(ln^2x/x+x^^n-3*(ln^3x/x+x^^n-4*(ln^4x/x+...+x^^2*(ln^(n-2)x/x+ln^(n-1)x+ln^(n)x)...))
    Done.

    Hi, I really like your videos and since you used tetration in this one, I would like to ask you a question that's been on my mind for quite some time now, but for which I could not find a solution yet.
    What I realized was the following: If you try to complete the natural numbers with respect to subtraction, which is the inverse operation to multiplication, you get the integers.
    If you complete these with respect to quotients, which are inverse to multiplication, i.e. form the quotient field, you obtain the rational numbers.
    By completing these wrt. roots of polynomials, i.e. wrt. exponentiation, you obtain the algebraic numbers.
    But what if you complete these using tetration, i.e. add superroots, superlogs and other solutions of "tetration equations"? E.g. the superroot of 2, i.e. the number x with x^x=2, seems to not be algebraic, so can you form a field extending the rational numbers that is closed wrt. these operations? It can't be a field extension of finite dimension since it is not algebraic, and it also has to be a field, I think, and it should still be countable so it isn't the real numbers, but I could not figure out much more.
    Also, if you continue this process with pentation and higher order operations (see Knuth's up-arrow notation), you should get other fields extending each other. Since they are a mapping family, you can take the direct limit of those, and get a very big field - are these the whole real numbers? A lot of questions, I know, but I hope someone else already thought about it and figured it out, since it is far beyond my current scope. Anyway, I would be happy about any kind of help.

      They should be included in the real numbers, moreover if we keep going towards the higher orders, we could find the transcendental constants (Like π, e) midway through. Or, we might even try to approach infinitation (as in, the infinth order, writing with infinitely many up arrows) and
      1) find certain numbers which can't be written without the inverse infinth order. Or,
      2) already cover up every real number, thus having no real numbers left, furthermore having found a way to cover up the first uncountable infinity. Or,
      3) just get to the transcendental numbers with a clear definition about them.

    I think you can also do it with implicit differentiation where you take the natural log on both sides. You'll need to repeat for x^^3 so for x^^2 you'll have:
    x^^2=y
    XLn(X)=ln(y)
    Ln(X)+1=Dy/DX •1/y
    Therefore
    Dy/DX=x^^2(ln(X)+1)

    So, this notation that blackpenredpen just told, I had actually once accidently discovered it myself.
    So, when I did a bit of research on values of x^^a for fractional values of 'a' and found out an elegant relation between x^^(1/2) and Lambert - W function. It is:
    x^^(1/2)=e^(W(x))
    or
    W(x)=ln(x^^(1/2)).
    I am also working on the derivative of x^^a, which is partially answered by Calyo Delphi in one another comment.
    I did some research and thought I should share it here.

      3 years late but I think you might be wrong because e^^x is (as far as I know) an injective function, so if e^^a = e^^b then a = b. But e^^1 by definition equals e, and if you plug in e into your formula {x^^(1/2)=e^(W(x)}, you get e^^(1/2) = e^W(e), which is still e. This however contradicts e^^x being an injective function, since 1/2 ≠ 1, therefore the formula is incorrect

      @@fantiscious yup you're right. i prob miscalculated then or sth. the actual relation was
      (e^x)^^1/2 = e^W(x)
      Proof:
      x = t^t => t = x^^1/2 -- 1.
      x = te^t => t = W(x) -- 2.
      => e^(x) = e^(te^t)
      => e^x = (e^t)^(e^t)
      => e^t = (e^x)^^1/2 = e^(W(x)) (from 1.)

      @@vedantneema Wow thanks for replying early lol. However could there be a misconception from your first line of proof? You see,
      log_x(x^^n) = x^^(n-1)
      => log_x(x^^1) = x^^0
      x^^1 = x ∀ x (by definition)
      => log_x(x^^1) = log_x(x) = 1 = x^^0
      ∴ x^^0 = 1 ∀ x
      But in your 1st line of proof, you imply that x = t^^n => t = x^^(1/n) for all n. This says that 2 = t^^n => t = 2^^(1/n).
      However as n approaches to infinity, t = 2^^(1/n) approaches 2^^0, which from the lemma above shows it approaches 1. This cannot be true though since;
      2 = lim_(n -->∞)(t^^n)
      => 2 = t^t^t^t^...
      => 2 = t^2 (since t^t^t^... appears in itself)
      => t = √2
      This shows that t = √2 and t = 1, but √2 ≠ 1, making a contradiction

      @vedantneema Před 2 lety

      @@fantiscious "x = t^^n => t = x^^(1/n) for all n". No, I only meant it for when n = 2. Also in your last statement you conclude that t can have two solutions for the given equation, one each is obvious in two different but equivalent forms. That stems from the fact that unlike addition, multiplication or exponentiation; tetration is not monotonic. Refer to the graph of x^x within [0, 2](decreasing in [0, 1] and increasing within [1,2]). The graph of y^y=x (== y = x^^1/2) is equally weird.
      Now the limits within which x^^n is monotonic is something that may be interesting to work out. I speculate it remains the same for n>=1. I'll report back if I find something.

    For Expert:
    Tetration n times:
    Write it as T(x,n) so that T(x,1) = x, T(x,2) = x^x and so on, write its derivative as T'(x,n)
    Construct a reduction formula, start from n=2, try to solve T'(x,n) for all integers n. (tedious like hell)

    I did get the generalisation for the tetration of x to any natural index(excluding 1).Well,it goes like this,
    Let x(n) be the tetration of x to a natural number n
    * denotes the product of the tetrations(pi-product function)[*(k=r to k=n)
    x(k)=x(r)x(r+1)x(r+2)........x(n)
    # denotes summation(sigma function) [#(r=1 to r=n) x(r)=x(1)+x(2)+.........x(n)]
    Then,
    d[x(n)]/d(x)=(1/x)[*(k=1 to k=n)x(k)(ln(x))^n-1 + #(r=1 to r=n-1)[*(k=r to k=n)x(k)[(ln(x))]^n-r-1]]
    Where #(r=1 to r=n-1)*(k=1 to k=n) denotes the summation of the products.
    Put it on paper for easy understanding.Do note it is only valid for natural number greater than or equal to 2.
    Just put a reply if I had gone wrong somewhere.

  • @acshyamraj8167
    @acshyamraj8167 Před 5 lety +1

    Differentiation made easier by taking logs of both sides, twice.
    taking y = x^x^x ; logy = x^x logx
    Taking logs of both sides again, log(logy) = log(x^x) + log(logx)
    ie log(logy) = x logx + log(logx)
    Now differaentiating both sides with respect to x,
    (1/logy)(1/y) dy/dx = x(1/x) + logx + (1/logx)(1/x)
    Hence dy/dx = y logy [ 1 + logx + (1/xlogx) ]
    = x^x^x . x^x logx [ 1 + logx + (1/xlogx) ]

    First a recursion formula:
    d/dx(x↑↑n) = x↑↑n · (d/dx(x↑↑(n-1)) · lnx + x↑↑(n-1) · 1/x)
    After applying that a few times I found a pattern, so here's the formula (I think):
    d/dx(x↑↑n) = 1/x · sum_(k=0 to n-1) of [(lnx)^(n-1-k) · product_(m=k to n) of (x↑↑m)]
    d/dx(x↑↑0) = d/dx(1) = 1/x · sum_(k=0 to -1) of [(lnx)^(-1-k) · product_(m=k to 0) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · 0
    = 0
    d/dx(x↑↑1) = d/dx(x) = 1/x · sum_(k=0 to 0) of [(lnx)^(-k) · product_(m=k to 1) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · [(lnx)^(0) · product_(m=0 to 1) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · x↑↑0 · x↑↑1 = 1/x · 1 · x
    = 1
    d/dx(x↑↑2) = d/dx(x^x) = 1/x · sum_(k=0 to 1) of [(lnx)^(1-k) · product_(m=k to 2) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · [(lnx)^(1) · product_(m=0 to 2) of (x↑↑m) + (lnx)^(0) · product_(m=1 to 2) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · [lnx · x↑↑0· x↑↑1 · x↑↑2 + x↑↑1 · x↑↑2]
    = 1/x · [lnx · 1· x· x^x + x · x^x]
    = lnx· x^x + x^x
    = x^x · (lnx+1)
    d/dx(x↑↑3) = d/dx(x^x^x) = 1/x · sum_(k=0 to 2) of [(lnx)^(2-k) · product_(m=k to 3) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · [(lnx)^(2) · product_(m=0 to 3) of (x↑↑m) + (lnx)^(1) · product_(m=1 to 3) of (x↑↑m) + (lnx)^(0) · product_(m=2 to 3) of (x↑↑m)]
    = 1/x · [ln²x · x↑↑0 · x↑↑1 · x↑↑2 · x↑↑3 + lnx · x↑↑1 · x↑↑2 · x↑↑3 + x↑↑2 · x↑↑3]
    = 1/x · [ln²x · 1 · x · x^x · x^x^x + lnx · x · x^x · x^x^x + x^x · x^x^x]
    = ln²x · x^x · x^x^x + lnx · x^x · x^x^x + x^x · x^x^x · 1/x

      @@nishilsheth9076 You know, derivatives can be calculated using quite simple set of a few rules. They include: a formula for derivative of the product (1), derivative of the quotient (2), derivative of a composite function (3), derivative of a power (4), and derivative of an inverse function (5). So here you are:
      (1) [f(x)*g(x)]' = f'(x)*g(x) + g'(x)*f(x), or - more simply, (fg)' = f'g + g'f
      (2) [f(x)/g(x)]' = [f'(x)*g(x) - g'(x)*f(x)] / [g(x)]^2, more simply (f/g)' = (f'g - g'f)/g^2
      (3) when u(x) = f(g(x)), u'(x) = g'(x) * f'(u), for example [ln(sinx)]' = (1/sinx)*(-cosx) etc.
      (4) [f(x)^g(x)]' = [f(x)^g(x)] * {[g'(x) * ln f(x)] + [g(x)/f(x) * f'(x)]}, or more simply:
      (f^g)' = (f^g) * (g'* lnf + g*f'/f ) - which is an applied formula for derivative of a composite function after making an identity transformation: f^g = e^(g*lnf)
      (5) when y=f(x) and x=g(y), g'(y)=1/f'(x).
      For example when x=y^y and y=ssrt(x), (y^y)* (1+lny) = 1/[ssrt(x)]', which yields [ssrt(x)]' = 1/[y^y * (1+ lny)], so:
      when f(x) = ssrt(x), f'(x) = 1/ [x + ln(ssrt(x)], since when y= ssrt(x), y^y = x by definition
      When using these five formulas, we can determine a derivative of any function expressed with a finite formula.

      @@DoctorT144 Using super Logarithm (inverse of Tetration)
      By definition sLog2 (2^^3) = 3
      NOTE: "sLog" is a notation for super Logarithm. Like how Logarithm cancels the base leaving the exponent ex. Log2 (2^3) = 3 super Logarithm does the same with Tetration leaving the super power.
      We can use super Logarithm to solve non integer super powers since super Logarithm is repeated Logarithm by definition.
      Let's let sLog2 (16) = 3+x
      Where 0 ≤ x < 1 (represents a 0 or decimal)
      sLog2 (2^^3) = sLog2 (2^2^2) => Log2(2^2^2) = 2^2
      => Log2(2^2) = 2
      =>Log2(2) = 1
      At this point we've taken three logs representing our integer part of the solution (given by the fact that the answer is equal to 1). We just take log again for the decimal x (the remainder of 2's that we need.)
      Log2 (1) = 0
      Thus sLog2 (16) = 3+0 = 3
      Well let's look at what happens when we go backwards through the same process to see what happens to the remainder.
      Log2 (Log2 (Log2 (Log2 (16)))) = 0
      Log2 (Log2 (Log2 (16))) = 2^0
      Log2 (Log2 (16)) = 2^2^0
      Log2 (16) = 2^2^2^0
      16 = 2^2^2^2^0 = 2^2^2 = 2^^(3+0)
      The remainder adds an extra '2' to the top of the power tower and the additional 2 is raised to the power of the remainder
      For 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
      By definition sLog a(a^^3+x) => a^a^a^a^x
      By definition of Tetration a^^3+x = a^a^^2+x = a^a^a^^1+x = a^a^a^a^^x
      a^a^a^a^^x = a^a^a^a^x
      a^a^a^^x = a^a^a^x
      a^a^^x = a^a^x
      a^^x = a^x by definition for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

    its basically the original function multiplied by the product rule of x↑↑(n-1) and ln(x)

    09:58 Using Knuth's arrow notation, "1/x" (another way to write this is of course "x^(-1)") could be written as "x & (-1)" (where the symbol "&" represents the "up arrow" symbol in the Knuth's arrow notation)?

    Nice work :)
    Now lets differentiate x(arrow)x
    😆

    This is what I got, though I’m not sure if correct! It’s technically an explicit function 😂
    d(x || n)/dx = E(k=1 to n) [ {((ln(x))^(n-k))/x} * P(i=k-1 to n) [x || i] ]
    Notation
    E ~ the sigma summation function
    P ~ the sigma pin function
    || ~ the double arrow function
    Domain:
    For n within positive integers and assuming that x || 0 = 1

    Graham's number on the spot! :o

    Check by integration, perhaps?
