Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y
Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y with respect to the independent variable.
y=(sinx)^cosx
y=(sinx)^cosx
Solution
\\(\\log y = \\cos x \\log \\sin x\\) Differentiate: \\(\\dot y/y = -\\sin x \\log \\sin x + \\cot x \\cos x\\) \\(dy/dx = (\\cos x \\log \\sin x)(\\cot x \\cos x-\\sin x \\log \\sin x)\\)
