y=ln x  y′=(d/dx)=x^(−1) =(1/x)  y′′=(d^2 /dx^2 )=−x^(−2) =−(1/x^2 )  y′′′=(d^3 /dx^3 )=2x^(−3) =(2/x^3 )  y^(′′′′) =(d^4 /dx^4 )=−6x^(−4) =−(6/x^4 )  y^n =(d^n /dx^n )=(−1)^(n−1) ×(((n−1)!)/x^n )

$${y}=\mathrm{ln}\:{x} \\ $$$${y}'=\frac{{d}}{{dx}}={x}^{−\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}} \\ $$$${y}''=\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} }{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }=−{x}^{−\mathrm{2}} =−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${y}'''=\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{3}} }{{dx}^{\mathrm{3}} }=\mathrm{2}{x}^{−\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} } \\ $$$${y}^{''''} =\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{4}} }{{dx}^{\mathrm{4}} }=−\mathrm{6}{x}^{−\mathrm{4}} =−\frac{\mathrm{6}}{{x}^{\mathrm{4}} } \\ $$$${y}^{{n}} =\frac{{d}^{{n}} }{{dx}^{{n}} }=\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} ×\frac{\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)!}{{x}^{{n}} } \\ $$
