INTRODUCTION
Good day future engineers! Welcome to Engineering Course.
This module will concentrate on function derivatives. As you continue to do so in this module,
you can learn about the various ways in which a function can be extracted. You can also see
mathematics differently by understanding the basic definition of derivatives. Just like addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division derivative is another concept in the field of mathematics. Let’s
start now!
Fun Fact:
Newton and Leibniz are rivals in developing calculus but somehow come up with
the same concepts and idea applied in modern calculus that is being adapted in modern
times.

In this lesson we will learn how to evaluate the derivative of an logarithmic functions using the
basic rules of differentiation.
LESSON PROPER
The inverse of the exponential function is the logarithm, defined by the statement that,
𝑦 = log 𝑎 𝑥 if 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑦 , 𝑎>1
The following facts concerning the functions 𝑦 = log 𝑎 𝑥 follow at once from the definition:
a) Negative numbers have no (real) logarithms.
b) Numbers between 0 and 1 have negative logarithms.
c) Numbers greater than 1 have positive logarithms.
d) As 𝑥 → 0+ ,𝑦 → 𝑛𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦.
e) The logarithm of 1 is 0.
f) As 𝑥 → 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑦 → 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑦.
Fundamental Properties of Logarithms
1) log 𝑎 𝑥𝑦 = log 𝑎 𝑥 + log 𝑎 𝑦
𝑥
2) log 𝑎 𝑦 = log 𝑎 𝑥 − log 𝑎 𝑦
3) log 𝑎 𝑥 𝑛 = nlog 𝑎 𝑥
4) log 𝑎 𝑎 𝑥 = 𝑥
5) 𝑎log𝑎 𝑥 = 𝑥

that the tangent and secant become infinite when 𝑥 = ±(𝑛 + 2)𝜋, the cotangent and cosecant become
infinite when 𝑥 = ±𝑛𝜋, where 𝑛 is zero or a positive integer. The sine and cosine, and their reciprocals
the cosecant and secant, are periodic with period 2𝑥;the tangent and the cotangent are periodic with
period π.
