Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If f(x) = ln(x), what is f'(e)?
  • 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 e into the derivative. We need to find f'(e).
  • Step 4: Calculate f'(e) by replacing x with e in the derivative: f'(e) = 1/e.
  • Derivative of Natural Logarithm – Understanding how to differentiate the natural logarithm function and evaluate it at a specific point.
  • Evaluation of Derivatives – Applying the derivative formula to find the slope of the function at a given value.
