QuestionLet kk be a constant. Compute ddx[ln(kx)]\frac{d}{d x}[\ln (k x)] in two ways. a) Using the Chain Rule, first decompose y=ln(kx)y=\ln (k x) into an outside and inside function Outside function (in terms of uu ): y=y= \square Inside function (in terms of xx ): u=u= \square .
Then find the derivative, ddx[ln(kx)]=\frac{d}{d x}[\ln (k x)]= \square (simplify your answer). b) Using a law of logarithms to simplify first: ln(kx)=\ln (k x)= \square +vundefined+\widehat{v} lnx\ln x. (Fill in the blanks to make this a true statement.) Now take the derivative of the simplified function: dydx=\frac{d y}{d x}= \square Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.

Studdy Solution
Using both the chain rule and the logarithm rule, we found that the derivative of ln(kx)\ln(kx) with respect to xx is 1x\frac{1}{x}.
