Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For the function f(x) = ln(x), find the point where it is not differentiable.
  • Step 1: Understand the function f(x) = ln(x). This is the natural logarithm function.
  • Step 2: Identify the domain of the function. The natural logarithm is only defined for positive values of x, meaning x must be greater than 0.
  • Step 3: Determine where the function is not defined. Since ln(x) is not defined for x ≤ 0, we focus on x = 0.
  • Step 4: Conclude that since f(x) = ln(x) is not defined at x = 0, it cannot be differentiable there.
  • Differentiability – The concept of differentiability relates to whether a function has a defined derivative at a given point.
  • Natural Logarithm Function – The natural logarithm function, ln(x), is only defined for positive values of x.
