Answer

We can see a graph of $f'(x)$ below the graph of $f(x)$ $f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x) = ln~x$ We can see a graph of $f'(x)$ below the graph of $f(x)$ $f'(x) \gt 0$ for all $x$ because $f$ is an increasing function. $f'(x) = 1~$ at $~x=1$ It seems that $f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}$
