Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=log(x)sin(x) and g(x)=log(7).
To find dxdf(x):
-
Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=log(x); to find dxdf(x):
-
The derivative of log(x) is x1.
g(x)=sin(x); to find dxdg(x):
-
The derivative of sine is cosine:
dxdsin(x)=cos(x)
The result is: log(x)cos(x)+xsin(x)
To find dxdg(x):
-
The derivative of the constant log(7) is zero.
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
log(7)log(x)cos(x)+xsin(x)
