log(eˣ)
———– ← log(eˣ) is written as a common logarithm.
x² So, with that in mind, we need to convert
to natural logarithms in order to differentiate.
ln(eˣ) / ln10 ← Converted to natural logarithms
= —————–
x²
ln(eˣ)
= ———–
x² ln10
x
= ————
x² ln10
1
= ———– ← Now, differentiate
x ln10
d(1/ln10) x⁻¹ −1
————— = (1/ln10)(-1/x²) = ———— ← ANSWER
dx x² ln10
Have a good one!
