Derivative of
The derivative of is .
f(x) =
Type any function of x; the derivative is computed symbolically in your browser.
How to work it out
- 1
We differentiate with respect to x. The rule that applies is the product rule.
- 2
Product rule: . Let and .

\[ \frac{d}{dx}\left[e^{x} \ln\left(x\right)\right] = e^{x} \ln\left(x\right) + e^{x} \frac{1}{x} \]
\[ f(x) = e^{x} \ln\left(x\right) \]
\[ u = e^{x},\quad v = \ln\left(x\right) \]
\[ u' = e^{x},\quad v' = \frac{1}{x} \]
\[ f'(x) = \left(e^{x}\right)\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) + \left(e^{x}\right)\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \]
\[ f'(x) = e^{x} \ln\left(x\right) + e^{x} \frac{1}{x} \]
\[ f''(x) = e^{x} \ln\left(x\right) + e^{x} \frac{1}{x} + e^{x} \frac{1}{x} + e^{x} \frac{-1}{x^{2}} \]Values of f and f' for exp(x) * ln(x)
