Question 99082: Obtain derivative of f(t) = In(5 – 2/3t)
Answer by Adam(64)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
derivative of ln(x) is 1/x
you cannot apply this directly to ln(5-2/3t),because it is composition of two functions f(t) = ln(t) and g(t)=5-2/3t
there is a rule for differentiation of theese compositions : f'(g(x))= f'(x)*g(x) - derivative of composition is product of derivatives of outter and inner functions. If you apply this rule you get = *
= which gives us common formula for derivative of ln(x) which is = - which means that derivative of natural of x can be represented as derivative of x over x.
