Hint: First we have to define what the terms we need to solve the problem are. To begin with logarithmic, we will first understand what the logarithmic operator represents in mathematics. Then to find the derivative, we need to first simplify the equation of y.We will simplify it using the rules of logarithm and reduce the equation into differential forms. Then we will carry out the differentiation with respect to x.

Complete step by step answer:
A logarithm function or log operator is used when we have to deal with the powers of a number, to understand it better, we will see an example.
Suppose y=za, where y,z,aare the real numbers.
Then if we apply log on both sides with base z, we will get the following results.
logzy=a
The low operator has many properties, some of the properties which we will use in this particular problem with differentiation,
The derivative of the logarithmic function is given by: f(x)=1/( x ln(b) )x is the function argument. b is the logarithm base. ln(b)is the natural logarithm of b.
Let from the given problem y=logx, now differentiate this log equation with respect to xwe get
dydx=1x (since derivative of ywill be dydxand derivative of the logx=1xby the logarithm differentiation)
So, as we find the first derivative of y=logx is dydx=1x
Now take dydx=y1(first derivative function) so then y1=1x and cross multiply we get xy1=1
Now again in equation xy1=1 differentiation with respect to x we get
xy2+y1=0(in left hand we are applying UV derivative and in right hand side derivative of 1 is 0 and y2 represent the double derivative of y)
Hence from this y=logx is a solution of xy2+y1=0

Note: To apply the UV method of differentiation, first choose U and V, differentiate U and integrate V
Thus uvdxu(vdx)dx.and differentiation of zero will be constant.
