Let f(x) = x
Then take the natural logarithm of both sides.
Take the natural logarithm of each side.
f(x) = -11x
%3D
In (f{x)) = In (x¯11×)
%3D
In (f(x)) = - 11x In (x)
Simplify.
Now take the derivative of each side. Recall that
In (x):

Solve for f' (x), then substitute x
for f(x).

Multiply both sides by f(x).

Substitute x
Therefore, f'(x) = -11(x)11X(1 + In (x)).
