prove that lnx differentiated is 1/x

let y = lnx therefore e^y = x then differentiating both sides we get: dy/dx (e^y) = 1 dy/dx = 1/(e^y) and as e^y = x dy/dx = 1/x when y = lnx

What is a radian?


A circle with center C has equation x^2 + y^2 + 8x - 12y = 12


The curve C has the equation: 2(x^2)y + 2x + 4y – cos (πy) = 17 use implicit differentiation to find dy/dx in terms of x and y
