In calculus, the derivative is defined as: f\u2032(a)=lim\u2061h\u21920f(a+h)\u2212f(a)h.f'(a) = \\lim_{h \\to 0} \\frac{f(a + h) &#8211; f(a)}{h}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For f(x)=ln\u2061(x)f(x) = \\ln(x), we get: ln\u2061\u2032(1)=lim\u2061h\u21920ln\u2061(1+h)\u2212ln\u2061(1)h=lim\u2061h\u21920ln\u2061(1+h)h.\\ln'(1) = \\lim_{h \\to 0} \\frac{\\ln(1 + h) &#8211; \\ln(1)}{h} = \\lim_{h \\to 0} \\frac{\\ln(1 + h)}{h}.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the value of this limit tells us the <strong>rate of change<\/strong> of the natural logarithm at 1, and it is exactly <strong>1<\/strong>.
