Answer:
By plotting the graph of f(x)=lnx, you can conclude that when x is small, dy/dx has a larger value. For instance, the gradient of the curve when x=0.5 is 2. However, as you move along the x axis, you will see that the graph levels off, indicating a decrease in the slope, or dy/dx. For example, if x=10, dy/dx = 0.1 and when x=20, dy/dx= 0.05 and so on. Eventually, when x is large enough the value of dy/dx will be negligible.
Thus, as x increases, the slope decreases.
Answer:
Explanation shown below
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=lnx;
The rate of change is defined as dy/dx;
dy/dx[Inx] = 1/x
and dy/dx is defined as the slope
The nature of the slope is as x increases ; the slope decreases and conversely meaning as x decreases, the slope increases.
