$e^{1 + \ln (x)}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the chain rule, which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [f (g (x))]$ is $f' (g (x)) g' (x)$ where $f (x) = e^{x}$ and $g (x) = 1 + \ln (x)$ .

Step 1.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $1 + \ln (x)$ .

$\frac{d}{d u} [e^{u}] \frac{d}{d x} [1 + \ln (x)]$

Step 1.2

Differentiate using the Exponential Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u} [a^{u}]$ is $a^{u} \ln (a)$ where $a$ = $e$ .

$e^{u} \frac{d}{d x} [1 + \ln (x)]$

Step 1.3

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $1 + \ln (x)$ .

$e^{1 + \ln (x)} \frac{d}{d x} [1 + \ln (x)]$

Step 2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $1 + \ln (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)]$ .

$e^{1 + \ln (x)} (\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 2.2

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$e^{1 + \ln (x)} (0 + \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)])$

Step 2.3

Add $0$ and $\frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)]$ .

$e^{1 + \ln (x)} \frac{d}{d x} [\ln (x)]$

Step 3

The derivative of $\ln (x)$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$e^{1 + \ln (x)} \frac{1}{x}$

Step 4

Combine $e^{1 + \ln (x)}$ and $\frac{1}{x}$ .

$\frac{e^{1 + \ln (x)}}{x}$
