differentiate logs help needed

For logarithmic differentiation, you first take natural logarithm ln to both sides of the eq, then differentiate with respect to x on both sides

So multiply both sides by ln?

[deft lagoon]

ln is a function, or operation. You apply it to both side of the eq., not multiply

ln doesn't distribute to numerator and denominator

Still, there are some useful properties of ln which makes this derivative much easier

Check the product and division rules of logarithms

So this?

Then what @deft lagoon
