Differentiate ln(x)/x
To differentiate this, we use the quotient rule as we have 2 functions of x as a fraction.
The quotient rule states that:
where u is the numerator function and v is the denominator function.
Therefore, u=ln x and v=x.
So:
as that is the derivative of ln x.
And:
as that is the derivative of x.
Substituting these values into the quotient rule equation we have the following answer to this question:
