The discussion revolves around the differentiation of the exponential function y=e^x and the natural logarithm function y=lnx. Participants seek clarification on the differentiation process and the underlying principles involved.
Some participants have pointed out potential issues with notation and clarity in the expressions used. There is an acknowledgment of the need for careful communication regarding the differentiation results, but no consensus has been reached on the best way to present the information.
Participants have requested formulas and detailed explanations, indicating a possible lack of familiarity with the differentiation rules for these functions. The discussion also highlights the importance of precise mathematical notation.
JasonX said:please explain in more detail on how we come up with the answers below. Thanks in advance!
(formulas much appreciated)
Differentiate:
- 1
y=e^x
=e^x
- 2
y=lnx
=1/x
