How to work it out

  1. 1

    We differentiate f(x)=x5ln⁡(x)f(x) = \frac{x^{5}}{\ln\left(x\right)} with respect to x. The rule that applies is the quotient rule.

    f(x)=x5ln⁡(x)f(x) = \frac{x^{5}}{\ln\left(x\right)}
  2. 2

    Quotient rule: (uv)′=u′v−uv′v2\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)' = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^{2}}. Let u=x5u = x^{5} and v=ln⁡(x)v = \ln\left(x\right).

    u=x5,v=ln⁡(x)u = x^{5},\quad v = \ln\left(x\right)
  3. 3

    Differentiate each piece:

    u′=5x4,v′=1xu' = 5 x^{4},\quad v' = \frac{1}{x}
  4. 4

    Put them in the rule:

    f′(x)=(5x4)(ln⁡(x))−(x5)(1x)(ln⁡(x))2f'(x) = \frac{\left(5 x^{4}\right)\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right) - \left(x^{5}\right)\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)}{\left(\ln\left(x\right)\right)^{2}}
  5. 5

    Simplify:

    f′(x)=5x4ln⁡(x)−x51xln⁡(x)2f'(x) = \frac{5 x^{4} \ln\left(x\right) - x^{5} \frac{1}{x}}{\ln\left(x\right)^{2}}
  6. 6

    Differentiating once more gives the second derivative, which tells you about curvature:

    f′′(x)=(20x3ln⁡(x)+5x41x−(5x41x+x5−1x2))ln⁡(x)2−(5x4ln⁡(x)−x51x)2ln⁡(x)1x(ln⁡(x)2)2f''(x) = \frac{\left(20 x^{3} \ln\left(x\right) + 5 x^{4} \frac{1}{x} - \left(5 x^{4} \frac{1}{x} + x^{5} \frac{-1}{x^{2}}\right)\right) \ln\left(x\right)^{2} - \left(5 x^{4} \ln\left(x\right) - x^{5} \frac{1}{x}\right) 2 \ln\left(x\right) \frac{1}{x}}{\left(\ln\left(x\right)^{2}\right)^{2}}
