derivative of exponential

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= log4 (5x+1)

satellite73 (satellite73):

not to be critical, but that is not exponential is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's not and base 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct? y'=log4(5x+1)5ln4 ?

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[\log_4(x)=\frac{\ln(x)}{\ln(4)}\] and the derivative of \(\ln(x)\)is well known

satellite73 (satellite73):

so what you are looking for is \[\frac{1}{\ln(4)}\times \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(5x+1)]\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

and no, that is not correct

satellite73 (satellite73):

what is \[\frac{d}{dx}[\ln(5x+1)]\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln(5x+1)(5) ?
