Answer

Final Answer: The derivative of the function \(f(x)\) is \(\boxed{f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{e^{x}-5}{e^{x}-5x}}\) and the value of the derivative at \(x=0\) is \(\boxed{f^{\prime}(0)=-4}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the function \(f(x)=\ln \left(e^{x}-5 x\right)\)

Step 2 :We need to find the derivative of the function, \(f^{\prime}(x)\), and the value of the derivative at \(x=0\), \(f^{\prime}(0)\)

Step 3 :The derivative of the function is found using the chain rule of differentiation, which gives \(f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{e^{x}-5}{e^{x}-5x}\)

Step 4 :Substituting \(x=0\) into the derivative function gives \(f^{\prime}(0)=-4\)

Step 5 :Final Answer: The derivative of the function \(f(x)\) is \(\boxed{f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{e^{x}-5}{e^{x}-5x}}\) and the value of the derivative at \(x=0\) is \(\boxed{f^{\prime}(0)=-4}\)
