Math Problem Statement
derivatives of logarithmic function
Solution
The image contains two functions, and , for which you are asking about the derivatives. I'll guide you through the process of finding these derivatives.
1. Derivative of
We will use the chain rule and logarithmic properties here.
First, apply the logarithmic identity:
Now, differentiate using the chain rule:
Simplify: Thus, the derivative of is:
2. Derivative of
This is a quotient, so we apply the quotient rule. Let:
The derivative of using the chain rule is:
Thus, the derivative of is:
