The document discusses derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions. It shows that the derivative of an exponential function e^x is itself, e^x. It also shows that the derivative of the natural logarithm function ln(x) is 1/x using the definition of derivative and the chain rule. Finally, it provides the general formula for deriving logarithmic functions of any base as -1/(xln(b)).
10. To find the derivative of a common log function, you could just use the change of base rule for logs: The formula for the derivative of a log of any base other than e is:
