Function f() - derivative -N order at the point
v

The graph:

from to

Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
-y*log(y)
$$- y \log{\left(y \right)}$$
(-y)*log(y)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ; to find :

    1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      So, the result is:

    ; to find :

    1. The derivative of is .

    The result is:


The answer is:
