derive y = ln(log(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[1 \over xlog(x)\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log(x) can also be ln(x)?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

only when it's base e.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

And yes you are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

No problem

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So you let \(u=\log(x) ~,~ du = \dfrac{1}{x}\), then \[\frac{d}{dx} (y=\ln(u)):\]\[y'= \frac{1}{u}\cdot u' = \frac{1}{x\log(x)}\]

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

\[y = ln(log_b(x))\] \[e^ y = log_b(x) = \frac{ln \ x}{ln \ b}\] \[e^y.y' = \frac{1}{ln \ b}.\frac{1}{x}\] \[y' = \frac{1}{ln \ b}.\frac{1}{x}.\frac{1}{e^y} = \frac{1}{ln \ b}.\frac{ 1}{x.log_b \ x} \] \[= \frac{ 1}{ x \ ln x} , \ b = e\]

well then!
