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
