Answer 1

Charles Anctil

#0#

#ln5~~1.61#

#:.d/dx(ln5)~~d/dx(1.61)#

The derivative rules say that the derivative of any constant is #0#. So here, the answer is also #0#.

Derivative is equal to 0

Maybe you were trying to type, "What is the derivative of ln(5x)", but I'll answer your question anyways.

The derivative of any constant is equal to 0. The ln(5) is a constant, so therefore, the derivative is 0.
