How can I evaluate the derivative
$$left. fracddx left( x , ln(x^5) right)right|_x=1 , ?$$



I have this math problem, and the biggest thing I do not understand, is which derivative rule do I need to apply, and what does the vertical bar mean in this problem?



Solution
$$left. fracddx left( x , ln(x^5) right)right|_x=1 = 5.$$

  • The vertical bar means to evaluate the derivative at $x=5$, i.e., find $f'(5)$ where $f(x)=xln(x^5)$.

  • The vertical bar with $x=1$ means you should take the derivative at $x=1$.

  • So all I need to do, is just plug in 5 in for x? Do I take the derivative before or after plugging in x=5?

    Oh, sorry, I meant to say $x=1$, not $x=5$, so it's $f'(1)$. You take the derivative of $f(x)=xln(x^5)$ first, then plug in $x=1$ (not $x=5$).

As an alternative since $xln(x^5)=5xln(x)$ by product rule



$$fracddx(xln(x^5))=5fracddx(xln x)=5left(1cdot ln x+xcdot frac1xright)=5ln x+5$$

    $$fracddx(xln(x^5))=$$



    $$ln(x^5)fracddx(x)+xfracddx(5ln(x))=$$



    $$ln(x^5)+xfrac5x=$$



    $$ln(x^5)+5$$



    for $x=1$, it gives $0+5=5$.
