Logarithmic Differentiation: Graphing the Derivative of a Logarithm

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Logarithmic Differentiation: Graphing the Derivative of a Logarithm interactive also includes:
  • The Derivatives of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions
  • Student Reference
  • Join to access all included materials

Log the values of the derivative of a logarithm. The interactive plots the derivative of the natural logarithm. Learners first determine the derivative of natural logarithm and the general logarithm. Using the formulas for the derivatives, they then evaluate the derivatives at specific points.
