Techniques of Differentiation - Derivatives of Natural Logarithmic Functions

Secondary 4
  1. Let \(\mathrm{f}(x) = \ln x\). Show that \(\mathrm{f}'(x) = \frac{1}{x}\) by using differentiation from first principles.
  2. Let \(\mathrm{g}(x) = \log_a x\), where \(a > 0\) and \(a \neq 1\). Hence, or otherwise, show that \(\mathrm{g}'(x) = \frac{1}{x \ln a}\).
