Find the Derivative - d/dx 2 natural log of x

Problem

d()/d(x)*2*ln(x)

Solution

1. Identify the constant multiple rule, which states that the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of that function.

2. Apply the constant multiple rule to move the coefficient 2 outside of the derivative.

d()/d(x)*2*ln(x)=2d(ln(x))/d(x)

3. Apply the derivative rule for the natural logarithm, which states that d(ln(x))/d(x)=1/x

2d(ln(x))/d(x)=2⋅1/x

4. Simplify the expression by multiplying the constant and the fraction.

2⋅1/x=2/x

Final Answer

d()/d(x)*2*ln(x)=2/x
