Ok, I appreciate that this may come under the heading of 'homework help' but I ask that you hear me out first.

I'm not asking you to do my homework for me, I just need to know whether or not if you differentiate ln does it remain ln? In the same way that if you differentiate e it remains e?

See I would know this myself but... well... I've forgotten, and my textbook contains apparently all the information in the world except that which I need. Bastards.

No it doesn't. ln is not invariable under differentiation. Try google.

"E" is an ireationaly number..therefore the question you are asking is irrational so just write anything down and it will be correct;)

Bugger. Well that's me shafted. Grrr at textbooks.

Amusing certainly :D But ultimately useless :(

No:

y=ln(x) or y=ln(u)

y'=1/x or y'=u'/u

You just take the derivative of the function inside the parentheses and put it over the original function creating a fraction of the form dx/x.

e is a transcendental number, making it God. Use that to permanently pwn any NS debate on the existence of God.

That's true - and now my frutration has all but vanished, like mist in the sun :D

My frustration however, was largely unaffected :p

yah that tend to happen with math:( , especially when combined with my lack of great spelling:(

but i guess on the good side its another thing to laugh at:p
