Step-by-step solution
3 stepsTo differentiate , we will use logarithmic differentiation for each term separately, then add the results.
Let , where and .
Then .
Differentiate .
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
Using the logarithm property :
Now, differentiate both sides with respect to using the product rule on the right side:
We know .
For , use the chain rule: . Here , so .Substitute these derivatives back:
Multiply by to solve for :
Substitute back:
Differentiate .
