Chapter 3, Differentiation

In Exercises 51- 54, find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the logarithmic function at the point (1, 0).

On this educational page, we aim to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the logarithmic function at the point (1, 0). The exercises include different variations of logarithmic functions. Below we provide each exercise along with detailed explanations of the associated graphs.

### Exercises
**In Exercises 51-54, find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the logarithmic function at the point (1, 0).**

**Exercise 51:** \( y = \ln x^3 \)

- **Graph Explanation:** 
  - The graph displays the function \( y = \ln x^3 \) as a thick black curve.
  - The tangent line at the point (1, 0) is shown as a thin blue line.
  - The point (1, 0) is marked on the x-axis.
  - The x-axis ranges from -2 to 6, and the y-axis ranges from -2 to 4.

**Exercise 52:** \( y = \ln x^{3/2} \)

- **Graph Explanation:** 
  - The graph displays the function \( y = \ln x^{3/2} \) as a thick black curve.
  - The tangent line at the point (1, 0) is shown as a thin blue line.
  - The point (1, 0) is marked on the x-axis.
  - The x-axis ranges from -2 to 6, and the y-axis ranges from -2 to 4.

**Exercise 53:** \( y = \ln x^2 \)

- **Graph Explanation:** 
  - The graph displays the function \( y = \ln x^2 \) as a thick black curve.
  - The tangent line at the point (1, 0) is shown as a thin blue line.
  - The point (1, 0) is marked on the x-axis.
  - The x-axis ranges from -2 to 6, and the y-axis ranges from -2 to 4.

**Exercise 54:** \( y = \ln x^{1/2} \)

- **Graph Explanation:** 
  - The graph displays the function \( y = \ln x^{1/2} \) as a thick black curve.
  - The tangent line at the point (1, 0) is shown as a thin blue line.
  - The point (1
