Derivative of log x 2 how to#
How to find the derivative of ln(2x 2) using the product property of logs f(x) We can therefore combine the product and power rules of logs to rewrite ln(2x 2) as:į(x) = ln(2x 2) = ln(2) + ln(x 2) = ln(2) + 2.ln(x) In other words taking the log of x to a power is the same as multiplying the log of x by that power. The power property of logs states that ln(x y) = y.ln(x). Since 2x 2 is the product of 2 and x 2, we can use the product properties of logs to rewrite ln(2x 2): In other words taking the log of a product is equal to the summing the logs of each term of the product. The product property of logs states that ln(xy) = ln(x) + ln(y). Since ln is the natural logarithm, the usual properties of logs apply. ln2x 2įinding the derivative of ln(2x 2) using log properties Just be aware that not all of the forms below are mathematically correct. Using the chain rule, we find that the derivative of ln(2x 2) is 2/xįinally, just a note on syntax and notation: ln(2x^2) is sometimes written in the forms below (with the derivative as per the calculations above). (The derivative of ln(2x 2) with respect to 2x 2is (1/2x 2))
How to find the derivative of ln(2x 2) using the Chain Rule: F'(x) We will use this fact as part of the chain rule to find the derivative of ln(2x 2) with respect to x. In a similar way, the derivative of ln(2x 2) with respect to 2x 2 is (1/2x 2). The derivative of ln(s) with respect to s is (1/s) The derivative of ln(x) with respect to x is (1/x) But before we do that, just a recap on the derivative of the natural logarithm.
Now we can just plug f(x) and g(x) into the chain rule. Then the derivative of F(x) is F'(x) = f’(g(x)).g’(x) We can find the derivative of ln(2x 2) (F'(x)) by making use of the chain rule.įor two differentiable functions f(x) and g(x) Let’s define this composite function as F(x): So if the function f(x) = ln(x) and the function g(x) = 2x 2, then the function ln(2x 2) can be written as a composite function. Let’s call the function in the argument g(x), which means: Ln(2x 2) is in the form of the standard natural log function ln(x), except it does not have x as an argument, instead it has another function of x (2x 2). Using the chain rule to find the derivative of ln(2x^2)
To perform the differentiation, the chain rule says we must differentiate the expression as if it were just in terms of x as long as we then multiply that result by the derivative of what the expression was actually in terms of (in this case the derivative of 2x 2). This means the chain rule will allow us to perform the differentiation of the function ln(2x 2).
