Let

y=ax

for some a∈R,a>0.

  1. By taking ln of both sides of y=ax, express ax in the form ekx for some k∈R.

  2. Hence, find a formula for dydx

  3. The functions f,g,h are defined by

    f(x)=2xg(x)=3xh(x)=(14)x

    find expressions for f′(x),g′(x) and h′(x).


The value of

f′(1)+23g′(1)+2h′(1)

can be expressed in the form

ln⁡(n),n∈N

Give the value of n.
