The basic exponential and logarithmic derivatives are [...]\text{[...]}[...] and ddx(lnx)=1x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\frac{1}{x}dxd(lnx)=x1.
A
The chain-rule factors cancel: 1kx×k=1x\frac{1}{kx}\times k=\frac{1}{x}kx1×k=x1.
B
dydx=6cos(2x)+20sin(5x)\frac{dy}{dx}=6\cos(2x)+20\sin(5x)dxdy=6cos(2x)+20sin(5x)
C
The basic exponential and logarithmic derivatives are ddx(ex)=ex\boxed{\frac{d}{dx}(e^x)=e^x}dxd(ex)=ex and ddx(lnx)=1x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\frac{1}{x}dxd(lnx)=x1.
D
The inner derivative is ddx(kx)=k\frac{d}{dx}(kx)=kdxd(kx)=k.
