How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

The natural logarithm has derivative 1/x and equals the integral from 1 to x of 1/t

Statement

For x>0, log⁡ is differentiable and log⁡′(x)=1x,log⁡x=∫1xdtt.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A positive real x.

[L2]

exp⁡′(u)=exp⁡(u) for every real u (The exponential function is smooth and (exp⁡)′=exp⁡).

Proof

technique · direct
1.1L1L2

At u=log⁡x, exp⁡′(u)=exp⁡(u)=x≠0; hence the inverse rule gives log⁡′(x)=1/exp⁡(log⁡x)=1/x.

1.2L3

The function t↦1/t is continuous on (0,∞), so I(x):=∫1xdt/t satisfies I′(x)=1/x and I(1)=0.

The difference x↦log⁡x−I(x) has derivative zero on (0,∞), and is zero at 1, so it is identically zero.
