Question
hey Chris i need some help with a problem i need to find f' and state the domains of f and f' for the following problem

lnlnln x

thanks a lot!

Answer
Hello Alvin
Let's calculate the derivative of f(x)=Ln(Ln(Lnx)) : As we know,
Ln(g(x))'=g'(x)/g(x). So f(x)'=[Ln(Lnx)]'/Ln(Ln(Lnx)). No we have
to find [Ln(Lnx)]' : we follow the same rule, we get :
[Ln(Lnx)]'=(1/x)/Lnx. thus f'(x)=[(1/x)/Lnx]/Ln(Ln(Lnx)), or
f'(x)=1/[xLn(x)*Ln(Ln(Lnx))].
The domain of f(x) is Ln(Lnx)>0. & that happens only when Lnx >1.
Lnx >1 means x>e.
the domain of f'(x) is Lnx >0 & Ln(Lnx)>0 which is also x>e.

Alon.
