3.7, #6, Given Problem.
 

Differentiate:
Given problem: number 6, Lesson 3.7.
Here we first use a property of logarithms to rewrite the function.
Now we take the derivatives using our new derivative.
We convert both fractions so that they have a common denominator.
Another form of the answer.

 

3.7, #14, Given Problem.
 

Differentiate: Given problem: number 14, Lesson 3.7
We simplify the logarithmic statement using log laws.
We again simplify the logarithmic statement using log laws.
Now we differentiate, using the chain rule in the second term.
We simplify the result.

3.7, #34, Given Problem.
 

Use logarithmic differentiation:
Given problem: Number 34, Lesson 3.7.
In logarithmic differentiation, we first take the logarithm of both sides.
Now we differentiate implicitly with respect to x. The chain rule is needed on the left side. On the right side we use the product rule.
We solve for y' by multiplying both sides by y.
We substitute for y based on the original problem.
