To differentiate \( \log_a x \) with respect to \( x \), we can use the change of base formula and the first principle of differentiation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the function We need to differentiate the function \( f(x) = \log_a x \). ### Step 2: Change of Base Formula Using the change of base formula for logarithms, we can express \( \log_a x \) in terms of natural logarithm (base \( e \)): \[ ...
