LESSON Exponential & Logarithmic Derivatives Essential derivatives for exponential and logarithmic functions Step 1: Exponential Derivatives The natural exponential function has a special property: its derivative is itself! Step 2: Logarithmic Derivatives Natural logarithm has an elegant derivative: Natural Base: (derivatives are simplest) You've mastered exponential and logarithmic derivatives! Next: Implicit differentiation for equations that define y implicitly.
