How do you differentiate #y=ln(1/x)#? Calculus Differentiating Logarithmic Functions Differentiating Logarithmic Functions with Base e 1 Answer Jim H Jul 28, 2016 Simplest way is to rewrite it first. Explanation: #y=ln(1/x)=ln(x^-1) = -1 lnx# So #y' = -1(1/x)= (-1)/x# Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of #f(x)=ln(g(x))# ? What is the derivative of #f(x)=ln(x^2+x)# ?
