Using chain rule and, after that, logarithm's derivation rule.

In order to use the chain rule, let's consider your function #ln(u)#, where evidently #u# stands for #lnx#.

Derivating #ln(u)#, we get #(u')/u#, where #u'# is the derivative of our #u#, which we have already stated is #lnx#.

Proceeding, #(dln(lnx))/(dx) = ((1/x)/lnx) = 1/(x*lnx)#.
