Specify the solving method
Find the derivative of $\ln\left(x\right)$ using the definition. Apply the definition of the derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$. The function $f(x)$ is the function we want to differentiate, which is $\ln\left(x\right)$. Substituting $f(x+h)$ and $f(x)$ on the limit, we get

Apply the definition of the derivative: \displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}. The function f(x) is the function we want to differentiate, which is \ln\left(x\right). Substituting f(x+h) and f(x) on the limit, we get. The difference of two logarithms of equal base b is equal to the logarithm of the quotient: \log_b(x)-\log_b(y)=\log_b\left(\frac{x}{y}\right). Simplify the fraction. Using the power rule of logarithms: n\log_b(a)=\log_b(a^n), where n equals \frac{1}{h}.
