Derivative of logₐx (for any positive base a≠1)
Sal finds the derivative of logₐx (for any positive base a≠1) using the derivative of ln(x) and the logarithm change of base rule. He then differentiates log₇x and -3log_π(x).

- [Voiceover] We know
from previous videos, that the derivative with respect to X of the natural log of
X, is equal to 1 over X. What I want to do in this
video is use that knowledge that we've seen in other
videos to figure out what the derivative with respect to X is of a logarithm of an arbitrary base. So I'm just gonna call
that log, base A of X. So how do we figure this out? Well, the key thing is, is
what you might be familiar with from your algebra or your
pre calculus classes, which is having a change of base. So if I have some, I'll do it over here, log, base A of B, and
I wanted to change it to a different base, let's
say I wanna change it to base C, this is the same
thing as log, base C of B divided by log, base C of A. Log, base C of B, divided
by log, base C of A. This is a really useful
thing if you've never seen it before, you now have just seen it, this change of base, and we prove it in other videos on Khan Academy. But it's really useful
because, for example, your calculator has a log button. The log on your calculator
is log, base 10. So if you press 100 into your calculator and press log, you will get a 2 there. So whenever you just see log of 100, it's implicitly base 10,
and you also have a button for natural log, which is log, base E. Natural log of X is equal
to log, base E of X. But sometimes, you wanna
find all sorts of different base logarithms and this is how you do it. So if you're using your
calculator and you wanted to find what log, base 3 of 8 is, you would say, you would type in your
calculator log of 8 and log of 3. Or, let me write it this way, and log of 3 where both of these
are implicitly base 10, and you'd get the same value if you did natural log of 8 divided
by natural log of 3. Which you might also
have on your calculator. And what we're gonna do
in this video is leverage the natural log because we
know what the derivative of the natural log is. So this derivative is the
same thing as the derivative with respect to X of. Well log, base A of X, can be rewritten as natural log of X over natural log of A. And now natural log of
A, that's just a number. I could rewrite this as,
let me write it this way. One over natural log of
A times natural log of X. And what's the derivative of that? We could just take the constant out. One over natural log of
A, that's just a number. So we're gonna get 1
over the natural log of A times the derivative with
respect to X of natural log of X. Of natural log of X. Which we already know is 1 over X. So this thing right
over here, is 1 over X. So what we get is 1 over
natural log of A times 1 over X. Which we could write as, 1
over natural log of A times X. Which is a really useful thing to know. So now, we could take
all sorts of derivatives. So if I were to tell you F of
X is equal to log, base 7 of X well now we can say well F
prime of X is going to be 1 over the natural log of 7 times X. If we had a constant out
front, if we had for example, G of X. G of X is equal to negative
3 times log, base, I know. Log, base pi. Pi is a number. Log, base pi of X, well G
prime of X would be equal to 1 over, oh. Let me be careful, I have
this constant out here. So it'd be negative 3 over,
it's just that negative 3, over the natural log of pi. This is the natural log of this number. Times X. So hopefully, that gives
you a hang of things.
