QUESTION:

Without evaluating derivatives, which of the following functions have the same derivative: f(x) = In x, g(x) = In 2x, \(h(x)=\ln x^{2}\), \(p(x)=\ln 10 x^{2}\)?

ANSWER:

Solution 24E Step 1 In this problem we have to find which of the given functions have same derivative by using the fact that “Two differentiable functions, that differ by a constant always have the same derivative” … (1) First let us consider f(x)and g(x) Given f(x) = ln x, g(x) = ln 2x f(x)g(x) = ln x ln 2x By using ln (mn) = ln m + ln nto ln 2xwe get, = ln x (ln 2+ln x) = ln x ln 2 ln x = ln 2 f(x)g(x) = ln 2where ln 2is a constant. Therefore by ( 1) we get, f(x)and g(x)have same derivative.
