Differentiating a Logarithmic Function In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following function in the question:

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)$

We have to derivate the given function.

Formula:

$\dfrac{d(\ln x)}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\dfrac{d(x^n)}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$

The derivation takes place in the following manner

$f(x) = \ln (3x^2)\\\\\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \displaystyle\frac{d(\ln(3x^2))}{dx}\\\\=\frac{1}{3x^2}\times \frac{d(3x^2)}{dx}\\\\= \frac{1}{3x^2}\times (6x)\\\\=\frac{6x}{3x^2}\\\\=\frac{2}{x}$

$\dfrac{d(f(x))}{dx} = \dfrac{2}{x}$

What is the rate of change between the interval of x = 3 pi over 2 and x = 2π?

galina1969 [7]

Check the picture below.

$\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
x_1=\frac{3\pi }{2}\\
x_2=2\pi 
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(2\pi )-f\left( \frac{3\pi }{2} \right)}{2\pi -\frac{3\pi }{2} }\implies \cfrac{3-1}{\frac{4\pi -3\pi }{2}}\implies \cfrac{2}{\quad \frac{\pi}{2}\quad }\implies \cfrac{4}{\pi }$
