Logarithmic Derivation

[previous page] [next page] [table of contents][page overview]
The formula

$\displaystyle f'(x) = f(x) \frac{d}{dx}\ln\vert f(x)\vert $

can be used to determine the derivative of functions $ y = g(x)^{h(x)}$ with $ g(x)>0$ . One obtains

$\displaystyle \frac{d y}{dx}=g(x)^{h(x)}\frac{d}{dx}\big( h(x) \ln g(x) \big) \;. $
