hartnn (hartnn):

have u tried this? i assume u know the chain rule...

I need to do the product rule right? I'm just beginning to learn this myself, I get confuse in class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large \frac{d}{dx}[lny]=\frac{y'}{y} \)

hartnn (hartnn):

the product rule is used when u have product of 2 functions, here there is no product, but there is a function inside a function, hence u need chain ruke here.

hartnn (hartnn):

*rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(lnU)' = U'/ U U = cos⁵(3x⁴) -> U' = 5 cos⁴ (3x⁴) * - sin (3x⁴) * 12 x³
