Differentiate the function y = ln |2-x-5x^2|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the ques correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fixed it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[[ln(u)]'=\frac{u'}{u}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are those brackets or ||

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it's not |lnu| it's ln|u|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

those are just for grouping; it means that the whole of it is derived and not just the (u) part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so show me how

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i believe it goes piece wise in the end

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or you can use the sqrt(u)^2 trick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please show me
