What is the derivative of E to the ax?
Derivatives and differentiation
| Expression | Derivatives |
|---|---|
| y = ex | dy/dx = ex |
| y = ea x | dy/dx = a ea x |
| y = ax | dy/dx = ax ln(a) |
| y = ln(x) | dy/dx = 1 / x |
What is the derivative of log ax?
d/dx {log (ax) = a/ax = 1/x.
How do you derive exponential?
Mathematically, the derivative of exponential function is written as d(ax)/dx = (ax)’ = ax ln a. The derivative of exponential function can be derived using the first principle of differentiation using the formulas of limits.
What is derivative of log E?
Since the natural log function to the base e (loge e) is equal to 1, The derivative of log e is equal to zero, because the derivative of any constant value is equal to zero.
How do you find the derivative of E 5?
Calculus Examples Since e5 is constant with respect to , the derivative of e5 with respect to is 0 .
How do you find the derivative of Loga(X)?
This tells us to find the derivative of loga (x), we need to find the derivative of (1/ln(a))⋅ln(x). Notice that 1/ln(a) is a constant, so by our first fact, the derivative of (1/ln(a))⋅ln(x) is 1/ln(a) times the derivative of ln(x).
How to take the derivatives of a function using logarithms?
Taking the derivatives of some complicated functions can be simplified by using logarithms. This is called logarithmic differentiation. It’s easiest to see how this works in an example. Differentiating this function could be done with a product rule and a quotient rule. However, that would be a fairly messy process.

What is the derivative formula of ln(x)?
We know that the base of ln(x) is e, so we plug e in for a in the derivative formula to get that the derivative formula of ln(x) is 1 / x(ln(e)). Now, recall that we said the logarithm loga (x) is equal to the number we raise a to get x.
