Assuming that is the natural logarithm (logarithm to base e), the derivative of ln x is 1/x.

For other bases, the derivative of logax = 1 / (x ln a), where ln a is the natural logarithm of a.

Natural logarithms are based on the number e, which is approximately 2.718.

If y equals x cube plus 2x and dx over dt equals 5 what is dy over dt when x equals 2?

y=x3+ 2x, dx/dt=5, x=2, dy/dt=? Differentiate the equation with respect to t. dy/dt=3x2*dx/dt Substitute in known values. dy/dt=3(2)2 * (5) dy/dt=60

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)
