Find the Derivative - d/d@VAR f(x)=e^x natural log of x
Problem
Solution
Identify the function as a product of two terms,
u=e^x andv=ln(x) which requires the product rule.Apply the product rule formula, which states that
d()/d(x)*u*v=ud(v)/d(x)+vd(u)/d(x) Differentiate the individual components:
d(e^x)/d(x)=e^x andd(ln(x))/d(x)=1/x Substitute these derivatives back into the product rule formula to get
e^x1/x+ln(x)*e^x Factor out the common term
e^x to simplify the expression.
