\[y=\ln x^{8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any clue how to start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by using the chain rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought the answer was (8x^7)/(x^8) but i dont think thats right can you please help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get a little different answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got y'(x)= (8ln^7(x))/x

OpenStudy (zarkon):

you two might be doing different problems

OpenStudy (zarkon):

is it \[y=\ln(x^8)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or, 8(1/x)ln^7(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
