College Calculus: Level I Logarithmic and Exponential Function Derivatives
Lecture Description
In this video we are going to take a look at differentiation of logarithmic and exponential functions. First, we will mention six essential logarithmic and exponential functions: e^x, b^x, ln(x), log_b〖(x)〗, e^(f(x)), and ln〖(f(x))〗 and we will see their derivatives. Then we are going to do some examples. One type of problem here simply incorporates logarithmic and exponential functions into differentiation problems involving, for example, the Chain Rule. We will see that we can use the derivative of the exponential function to derive the derivative of the logarithmic function. In additional examples we will also work on problems involving the technique of logarithmic differentiation.

Augusto,
log_5(xe^x) = (1/ln5(xe^x)) multiply by ((1)(e^x)+x(e^x))

Thyis is basic, but what about a problem like
f(x) = log_5(xe^x)
this doesnt go in depth enough for combinations like this>..
