(\partial)/(\partial x)(ln(x-y))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (ln (x - y))

\frac{1}{x - y}

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (ln (x - y))

Treat

y

as a constant

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{x - y} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x - y)

= \frac{1}{x - y} \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x - y)

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x - y) = 1

= \frac{1}{x - y} \cdot 1

Simplify

= \frac{1}{x - y}

What is (\partial)/(\partial x)(ln(x-y)) ?
The answer to (\partial)/(\partial x)(ln(x-y)) is 1/(x-y)
