How is the derivative of ln(x) related to 1/x?

The derivative of ln(x) with respect to x is 1/x for x > 0.

What happens when you differentiate ln|x|?

When you differentiate ln|x|, the result is 1/x, due to the chain rule applied to the absolute value of x.

How do you differentiate the function ln(x^2 + 3x + 7)?

To differentiate ln(x^2 + 3x + 7), apply the chain rule. The derivative is 1/(x^2 + 3x + 7) multiplied by the derivative of (x^2 + 3x + 7), which is 2x + 3. Thus, the derivative is (2x + 3)/(x^2 + 3x + 7).
