Can someone clarify for me, please? using the log rules and d/dx In (kx) rule. we take the five out 5 x d/dx In(2x) + x^2-1 = 5 x d/dx In 2 + In x + x^2 -1 = 5 x 0 + 1/x +2x = 5/x +2x. I don't know if I have written the notation correctly. second derivative= -5/x^2 + 2 ? Mathway, informs me that it doesn't exist.
Youve some missing brackets etc in your working and not sure whether its 2x or x^2 originally, but youre basically right. The first derivative of ln(x) is 1/x and its second derivative is -1/x^2

Apologise. I’m not sure how to use the fancy powers on desktop outside of Microsoft word so it’s a little confusing…
Original function is: 5In(2x)+x²-1 ,
So the brackets missing are for 5 x d/dx (In (2) + In (x)) + x²-1…..
I suppose 5(0+1/x) + 2x, too
In that case when inputting into online calculators, why do you think it might be showing incorrect. For example I tried math papa and it came back with 10in + 2x as the first derivative. Perhaps I’m inputting it incorrectly?
