Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y
Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of y with respect to x.
y=(xsqrt(x^2+6))/(x+7)^(2/3)
y=(xsqrt(x^2+6))/(x+7)^(2/3)
Solution
y=(xsqrt(x^2+6))/(x+7)^(2/3)
Thus:
ln(y) = ln(x) + 1/2 ln(x^2+6) - 2/3 ln(x+7)
So we have:
y\'/y = 1/x + x/(x^2+6) - 2/3(x+7)
Therefore:
y\' = (1/x + x/(x^2+6) - 2/3(x+7))*y = (1/x + x/(x^2+6) - 2/3(x+7))(xsqrt(x^2+6))/(x+7)^(2/3)
