Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If f(x) = ln(x), what is f'(1)? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the function given in the question, which is f(x) = ln(x).
  • Step 2: Find the derivative of the function f(x). The derivative of ln(x) is f'(x) = 1/x.
  • Step 3: Substitute x = 1 into the derivative f'(x). This means we calculate f'(1) = 1/1.
  • Step 4: Simplify the result from Step 3. 1/1 equals 1.
  • Step 5: Conclude that f'(1) = 1.
  • Derivative of Natural Logarithm – Understanding how to differentiate the natural logarithm function and evaluate it at a specific point.
