Memorize it. This is for differentiating just plain ln x.

• Word of caution not to confuse the power rule with the exponential form:

number...

F. Differentiating something involving both lnx and ex
• These problems could use product, quotient, or chain rules.
• As usual, product rule is used when it starts off with a function times a function, or “something times something.” And of course, the quotient rule is used when it is a function divided by another function. BUT the typical CHAIN-type can look a few different ways:
Just to review types of problems we have used the chain rule with:
• (some fancy function of x)n, where n is some number. [on last exam] It becomes:
n(that f’n of x)n-1(the deriv. of that f’n)• e(some fancy function of x), which becomes
e(that f’n of x)(the deriv. of that f’n)• ln (some fancy function of x), which becomes
1 (the deriv. of that f’n)
(that f’n of x)
