Derivatives of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions

The document provides examples of differentiating logarithmic and exponential functions. It gives the formulas for differentiating logarithmic functions with bases of a and e, as well as exponential functions with bases of a and e. It then works through five examples of differentiating logarithmic and exponential functions: 1) Differentiating y=log10(cos4x) 2) Differentiating y=ln(7-3x) 3) Differentiating y=10x^2 4) Differentiating y=e^{3x-1} 5) Differentiating y=(x-1)^{x+1} The document shows the step-by-step work for deriving each differentiation.
