What is the Chain Rule for Differentiating ln ln ln x^3?

In summary, the rule for differentiating ln(x) is 1/x. When differentiating ln(x^3), you will get 3/x. The derivative of ln(ln(x)) is 1/(xln(x)). For ln(x^2 + 1), the derivative is 2x/(x^2 + 1)^2. And finally, for ln(x^3 + 5x), the derivative is (3x^2 + 5)/(x^3 + 5x) using the quotient rule.

y=ln ln ln x^3

Let t= lnx[itex]^3[/itex]

so you have y= ln lnt

Let u=lnt

so you have y=lnu

by the chain rule

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{du}*\frac{du}{dt}*\frac{dt}{dx}[/tex]
 

1. What is the rule for differentiating ln(x)?

The rule for differentiating ln(x) is 1/x. This means that when you take the derivative of ln(x), you will end up with 1/x as the new coefficient.

2. How do you differentiate ln(x^3)?

When differentiating ln(x^3), you will first use the power rule to bring down the exponent of 3, giving you 3ln(x). Then, you can apply the rule for differentiating ln(x), which is 1/x. This will give you a final answer of 3/x.

3. What is the derivative of ln(ln(x))?

The derivative of ln(ln(x)) is 1/(xln(x)). This can be found by applying the chain rule, and then using the rule for differentiating ln(x) twice.

4. Can you differentiate ln(x^2 + 1)?

Yes, you can differentiate ln(x^2 + 1). Using the chain rule, the derivative would be 2x/(x^2 + 1). This can also be written as 2x/(x^2 + 1)^2.

5. What is the derivative of ln(x^3 + 5x)?

The derivative of ln(x^3 + 5x) is (3x^2 + 5)/(x^3 + 5x). This can be found by using the quotient rule, with the top part being the derivative of x^3 + 5x, and the bottom part being the original function.
