@jim_thompson5910 http://www.mastermathmentor.com/mmm/Free.aspx?bin=calc.AB%20Manual&file=AB37%20ln%20differentiation.pdf We'll start here

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok, which problem to start with?

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The beginning lol I dont remember this like at all lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok so 1) y = ln(4x) right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

for some reason, they say "example" and it makes me think that they are working out that problem (and not the student). It's a bit confusing

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

No it's like the "notes" portion lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but the rule for ln is if y = ln(x), then dy/dx = 1/x this is just something you memorize

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yeah that one I know

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so if y = ln(4x), then dy/dx = ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that "4x" inside will require you to use the chain rule

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

1/4x and derive it? idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you'll have 1/(4x) and then you will multiply by the derivative of the inner stuff so multiply by the derivative of 4x...which is 4
