Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=10log(x) and g(x)=x.
To find dxdf(x):
-
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
-
The derivative of log(x) is x1.
So, the result is: x10
To find dxdg(x):
-
Apply the power rule: x goes to 1
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
x210−10log(x)
