Differentiation of Logarithmic Functions | |
Summary |
the logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function. the inverse of y = ex is y = log ex (which is written as ln x). the derivative of loge x is 1/x. the chain rule is used to differentiate other logarithmic functions. (the differentiation of logarithms to bases other than e are not studied at this level.)
