  x   
------
log(x)
$$\frac{x}{\log{\left(x \right)}}$$
x/log(x)
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    To find :

    1. The derivative of is .

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]

------ - -------
log(x)      2   
         log (x)
$$\frac{1}{\log{\left(x \right)}} - \frac{1}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$$
The second derivative [src]
       2   
-1 + ------
     log(x)
-----------
      2    
 x*log (x) 
$$\frac{-1 + \frac{2}{\log{\left(x \right)}}}{x \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]

    log (x)
-----------
  2    2   
 x *log (x)
$$\frac{1 - \frac{6}{\log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}}{x^{2} \log{\left(x \right)}^{2}}$$
