Find the Derivative - d/dx f(x)=e^x natural log of x

Problem

d()/d(x)*ex*ln(x)

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the derivative. Since the function is a product of ex and ln(x) use the product rule: (d(u)*v)/d(x)=ud(v)/d(x)+vd(u)/d(x)

2. Assign the parts of the function to u and v Let u=ex and v=ln(x)

3. Differentiate each part individually. The derivative of ex is ex and the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x

4. Apply the product rule formula by substituting the functions and their derivatives.

(d(ex)*ln(x))/d(x)=exd(ln(x))/d(x)+ln(x)d(ex)/d(x)

5. Substitute the derivatives into the expression.

(d(ex)*ln(x))/d(x)=ex1/x+ln(x)*ex

6. Factor out the common term ex to simplify the final expression.

(d(ex)*ln(x))/d(x)=ex*(1/x+ln(x))

Final Answer

(d(ex)*ln(x))/d(x)=ex*(1/x+ln(x))
