Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply sum rule of differentiation
The sum rule states that (\frac{d}{dx}(u + v)=\frac{d}{dx}(u)+\frac{d}{dx}(v)). For (y = 8\ln x+\ln8), let (u = 8\ln x) and (v=\ln8). So (\frac{d}{dx}(8\ln x+\ln8)=\frac{d}{dx}(8\ln x)+\frac{d}{dx}(\ln8))
Step2: Differentiate (8\ln x)
Using the constant - multiple rule (\frac{d}{dx}(k\cdot f(x))=k\cdot\frac{d}{dx}(f(x))) and the formula (\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\frac{1}{x}), we have (\frac{d}{dx}(8\ln x)=8\cdot\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=8\cdot\frac{1}{x}=\frac{8}{x})
Step3: Differentiate (\ln8)
Since (\ln8) is a constant, and the derivative of a constant (C) is (0) ((\frac{d}{dx}(C) = 0)), so (\frac{d}{dx}(\ln8)=0)
Answer:
(\frac{8}{x})
