if f(x) = ln (x+ ln x ) , find f' (x)

OpenStudy (marcelie):

@Directrix

OpenStudy (whiteduckling):

Is this even answerable?

OpenStudy (whiteduckling):

I dunno, but I hope someone can help you o-o

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Hint: \[\frac{ d }{ dx } lnx = \frac{ 1 }{ x }\]

OpenStudy (welshfella):

use the chain rule

OpenStudy (marcelie):

hmmm cna you show me

OpenStudy (photon336):

Notice that we have a function within a function right? \[\frac{ d }{ dx }\ln(x+\ln(x))\]

OpenStudy (marcelie):

yea

OpenStudy (photon336):

can you identify the two functions?

OpenStudy (photon336):

you've got ln(x) and within that you have x+ln(x)

OpenStudy (photon336):

you can apply chain rule here because you've got a function within a function. so first, take the derivative of both functions.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

log formula ?

OpenStudy (photon336):

so @Astrophysics gave you a hint

OpenStudy (photon336):

but first I need you to identify both functions in our problem.

OpenStudy (marcelie):

question does it look like this .. okay so ik theres a ln and a chain rule
