f(x)=xln(x)
this function is treated as
u*v
u=x
v=ln(x)
The derivative of a product is
f'(x)=u*v'+v*u'
plugging the values back in you get:
f'(x)=(x*dlnx/x)+(ln*dx/dx)
The derivative of lnx=1/x
x=u
dlnu/dx=(1/u)*(du/dx)
dx/dx=1
x=u
dun/dx=nun-1
dx1/dx=1*x1-1
= x0=1
f'(x)=x*(1/x)+lnx*1
f'(x)=1+lnx
Now for the second derivative
f''(x)=d1/dx+dlnx/dx
the derivative of a constant, such as 1, is 0
and knowing that the derivative of lnx=1/x you get
f''(x)=(1/x)

How do you differentiate exponential function?
The derivative of e^u(x) with respect to x: [du/dx]*[e^u(x)]For a general exponential: b^x, can be rewritten as b^x = e^(x*ln(b))So derivative of b^x = derivative of e^u(x), where u(x) = x*ln(b).Derivative of x*ln(b) = ln(b). {remember b is just a constant, so ln(b) is a constant}So derivative of b^x = ln(b)*e^(x*ln(b))= ln(b) * b^x(from above)
What is the derivative of 2 to the power of x?
if f(x)=kx, f'(x)=ln(k)*kx. Therefore, the derivative of 2x is ln(2)*2x.
What is the derivative of x to the power of ln x?
I don't believe that the answer is ln(x)x^(ln(x)-2), since the power rule doesn't apply when you have the variable in the exponent. Do the following instead:y x^ln(x)Taking the natural log of both sides:ln(y)ln(x) * ln(x)ln(y) ln(x)^2Take the derivative of both sides, using the chain rule:1/y * y' 2 ln(x) / xy' 2 ln(x)/ x * yFinally, substitute in the first equation, y x^ln(x):y' 2 ln(x) / x * x^ln(x)y'2 ln(x) * x ^ (ln(x) - 1)Sorry if everything is formatted really badly, this is my first post on answers.com.
Differentiate log x?
The derivative of ln x, the natural logarithm, is 1/x.Otherwise, given the identity logbx = log(x)/log(b), we know that the derivative of logbx = 1/(x*log b).ProofThe derivative of ln x follows quickly once we know that the derivative of ex is itself. Let y = ln x (we're interested in knowing dy/dx)Then ey = xDifferentiate both sides to get ey dy/dx = 1Substitute ey = x to get x dy/dx = 1, or dy/dx = 1/x.Differentiation of log (base 10) xlog (base 10) x= log (base e) x * log (base 10) ed/dx [ log (base 10) x ]= d/dx [ log (base e) x * log (base 10) e ]= [log(base 10) e] / x= 1 / x ln(10)
What is second order differential equation?
The highest order of derivative is 2. There will be a second derivative {f''(x) or d2y/dx} in the equation.
What is the derivative of lnlnx?
1/xlnx Use the chain rule: ln(ln(x)) The derivative of the outside is1/ln(x) times the derivative of the inside. 1/[x*ln(x)]

What is the Derivative of 500 ln x plus 1?
the derivative of ln x = x'/x; the derivative of 1 is 0 so the answer is 500(1/x)+0 = 500/x
What is the derivative of e the the power ln x?
y = e^ln x using the fact that e to the ln x is just x, and the derivative of x is 1: y = x y' = 1
What is the derivative of ln x to the power of 2?
If the function is (ln x)2, then the chain rules gives us the derivative 2ln(x)/x, with the x in the denominator. If the function is ln (x2), then the chain rule gives us the derivative 2/x.
What is the derivative of 2lnx?
The derivative of ln x is 1/x The derivative of 2ln x is 2(1/x) = 2/x
What is the derivative of e to the power ln x squared?
e^[ln(x^2)]=x^2, so your question is really, "What is the derivative of x^2," to which the answer is 2x.
What is the derivative of 2 to the power of x?
if f(x)=kx, f'(x)=ln(k)*kx. Therefore, the derivative of 2x is ln(2)*2x.
Is there a function where the first derivative goes to infinity for x going to 0 and where the first derivative equals 0 when x is 1?
Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.Yes, the function ln(x) where ln is the logarithm to base e.
What is the derivative of ln 1- x?
The derivative of ln x is 1/x. Replacing the expression, that gives you 1 / (1-x). By the chain rule, this must then be multiplied by the derivative of (1-x), which is -1. So, the final result is -1 / (1-x).
What is the anti derivative of lnx?
x (ln x + 1) + Constant
