Employ logarithmic differentiation

Derivative of ex

For any Real Number, x

Thus the ex fcn has the unusual property that the derivative of the fcn is the ORIGINAL fcn• The proof of this is quite complicated. For

our purposes we treat this as a formula– For a good proof (in Appendix) see:

Example Revenue RoC

The total number of hits (in thousands) to a website t months after the beginning of 1996 is modeled by

The Model for the weekly advertising revenue in ¢ per hit:

Use the Math Models to determine the daily revenue change at the beginning of the year 2005

4ln200 ttH

ttr 1.025

Example Revenue RoC

SOLUTION: The rate of change in Total Revenue,

R(t), is the Derivative of the Product of revenue per hit and total hits:

)1.025()4ln(200 ttdt

Example Revenue RoC

Next find t in months for 1996→2005

Then the rate derivative at t = 108 mon

Helpful Hint Log Diff

Logarithmic Differentiation Some derivatives are easier to calculate

by • first take the natural logarithm of the

expression• Next judiciously use the log rules• then take the derivative of both sides of the

equation• finally solve for the derivative term

Example Using Log Diff

Using logarithmic differentiation to find the df/dx for:

SOLUTION: Computing the derivative directly would

involve the repeated use of the product rule (not impossible, but very tedious)

Instead, use properties of logarithms to first expand the expression

3 223 13)( xexxf x

Let y = f(x) → Then take the natural logarithm of both

sides:

Use the Power & Log Rules

Now Take the Derivative of Both Sides

By the Chain Rule

• This is a form of Implicit Differentiation; Need to algebraically Isolate dy/dx

1lnlnln

12ln33ln

1ln 2xxx

Solving for dy/dx

Recall

• This result would have much more difficult to obtain without the use of the Log transform and implicit differentiation

Summary of Log Rules

For any positive numbers M, N, and a with a ≠ 1, and whole number p

log log log ;a a aM

log log ;pa aM p M

log .ka a k

log ( ) log log ;a a aMN M N Product Rule

Power Rule

Quotient Rule

Base-to-Power Rule

Change of Base Rule

Let a, b, and c be positive real numbers with a ≠ 1 and b ≠ 1. Then logbx can be converted to a different base as follows:

logb x loga x

loga b

(base a) (base 10) (base e)

Derive Change of Base Rule

Any number >1 can be used for b, but since most calculators have ln and log functions we usually change between base-e and base-10
