Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivatives of each of the functions in Exercises 49–58.

f(x)=lnxx

Short Answer

Expert verified

The derivative of function isy'=lnxx1lnx+ln(lnx)

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The given function isf(x)=lnxx

02

Step 2. Calculation    

First, we will take the log on both sides and then differentiate it,

lny=xlnlnx1yy'=x1lnx1x+ln(lnx)1yy'=1lnx+ln(lnx)y'=lnxx1lnx+ln(lnx)

If Katie walked at 3miles per hour for 20minutes and then sprinted at 10miles an hour for 8minutes, how fast would Dave have to walk or run to go the same distance as Katie did at the same time while moving at a constant speed? Sketch a graph of Katie’s position over time and a graph of Dave’s position over time on the same set of axes.

Stuart left his house at noon and walked north on Pine Street for 20minutes. At that point he realized he was late for an appointment at the dentist, whose office was located south of Stuart’s house on Pine Street; fearing he would be late, Stuart sprinted south on Pine Street, past his house, and on to the dentist’s office. When he got there, he found the office closed for lunch; he was 10minutes early for his 12:40appointment. Stuart waited at the office for 10minutes and then found out that his appointment was actually for the next day, so he walked back to his house. Sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s position over time. Then sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s velocity over time.
