idk where to begin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can memorize the answer to the derivative of \(\log_b(x)\) as one way to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the other way is to write \[\log_2(x-1)=\frac{\ln(x-1)}{\ln(2)}\] by the change of base formula, then take the derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

understanding that \(\ln(b)\) is just a constant (number) it is always truethat \[\frac{d}{dx}[\log_b(x)]=\frac{1}{x\ln(b)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ (x-1)(\ln 2) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

confused
