Answer

\[\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{x\ln 10}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} y = {\log _{10}}x \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Differentiate,{\text{ use }}\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {{{\log }_a}u} \right] = \frac{1}{{\ln a\left( u \right)}}{u^,} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{\,\left( {\ln 10} \right)\,\left( x \right)}}\,\left( {{x^,}} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ multiply \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{{x\ln 10}} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
