Question #b5198 Calculus Differentiating Logarithmic Functions Overview of Different Functions 1 Answer Joel Kindiak Jun 6, 2016 dy/dx = (x-1)/(2x ln 5) Explanation: First, simplify the given expression. y=log_25 (e^x)-log_5 (x^(1/2))=ln (e^x)/(2ln5)-1/2 (ln x / ln 5) = 1/(2 ln5)(x-ln x) dy/dx = 1/(2ln5) (1-1/x) = (x-1)/(2x ln 5) Answer link Related questions How do you find the derivative of y=sin2x+cos2x+ln(ex)?
