Let {eq}f(x) = \ln(x). {/eq} The derivative of the natural logarithm is given as {eq}f'(x) = \dfrac{1}{x}. {/eq} Next, consider {eq}g(x) = \log_b(x) {/eq} where {eq}b {/eq} is the base of the logarithm. By our change of base formula we can rewrite {eq}...
Learn about logarithm functions & what is the derivative of log x. Understand how to take the derivative of log functions such as natural log and...
Most often, we need to find the derivative of a logarithm of some function ofx. For example, we may need to find the derivative ofy= 2 ln (3x2− 1). We need the following formula to solve such problems. If y= lnu anduis some function ofx, then: ...
Formula and proof of derivative（导数的公式及证明）The derivative formula and the proof here will enumerate the derivatives of five basic elementary functions and their derivation process (elementary function can be calculated by it): basic derivative formula 1. constant function (i.e. constant) y=...
Derivative of composite function is computed by using chain rule . The chain rule is the formula to determine the derivative of f(g(x)) with respect to x , which is f'(g(x)*g'(x). Here the function , ln x is the logarithm of x to the base e....
Derivative of a Logarithm The derivative of the natural logarithm function, {eq}f(x) = \ln x {/eq}, is equal to the reciprocal of {eq}x {/eq}, {eq}\frac{1}{x} {/eq}. By the Chain Rule, the derivative of the composite function involving this logarithm must be...
