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

Problem

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

Solution

1. Identify the rule needed for the derivative of a quotient, which is the quotient rule: d()/d(x)u/v=(vd(u)/d(x)−ud(v)/d(x))/(v2)

2. Assign the numerator u=ln(x) and the denominator v=ex

3. Differentiate the individual components: d(ln(x))/d(x)=1/x and d(ex)/d(x)=ex

4. Substitute these values into the quotient rule formula.

(ex1/x−ln(x)*ex)/((ex)2)

5. Factor out the common term ex from the numerator.

(ex*(1/x−ln(x)))/((ex)2)

6. Simplify the expression by canceling ex in the numerator and denominator.

(1/x−ln(x))/(ex)

7. Find a common denominator for the numerator to remove the complex fraction.

(1−x*ln(x))/x/(ex)

8. Finalize the expression by moving x to the denominator.

(1−x*ln(x))/(x*ex)

Final Answer

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