i would need some help to find the derivative of:

y=log_{x} (x) respect to x..:frown: the log is itself in base "x"...:rolleyes: to make the problem harder.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Hint: \log_{b}x = \frac{\ln x}{\ln b}.

Note that I changed the name of the base to b, rather than x.
 
logx(x)=1. Therefore the derivative=0.
