Differentiate the function.

This is a composed function and we'll differentiate from
the last function to the first.


We'll re-write the
function:


f(x) = (ln
x)^1/9


The last function is the power function and the
first function is the logarithmic function.


The function
f(x) is the result of composition between u(x) = u^1/9 and v(x) = ln
x


u(v(x)) = (lnx)^1/9


u'(x) =
(u^1/9)' = (1/9)*u^(1/9 - 1)


u'(x)
=  (1/9)*u^(1-9)/9


u'(x) =
1/9*u^8/9


v'(x) = (ln x)' =
1/x


[u(v(x))]' = 1/9x*(ln
x)^8/9


We'll use the power property of
logarithms:


a*ln b = ln
(b^a)


f'(x) = 1/(ln
x)^8*9x/9


We'll simplify and we'll
get:


f'(x) = 1/(ln
x)^8x/9
