Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the derivative of the expression
we can proceed by applying the chain rule and other differentiation techniques.
-
Rewrite the Expression: Note that we can simplify the argument inside the logarithm: So the expression becomes:
-
Differentiate :
Now, let . To find , we use the quotient rule or the chain rule.Rewrite .
Using the chain rule:
Thus, the derivative is
