How do you differentiate y = ln ((x^2+1)^5 / sqrt(1-x)) ? Calculus Differentiating Logarithmic Functions Differentiating Logarithmic Functions without Base e 1 Answer A. S. Adikesavan Sep 16, 2016 (1+20x-19x^2)/(2(1-x+x^2+x^3)) Explanation: Using ln(a^n)=nln a and ln(a/b)=lna-ln b and (ln u)'=1/u u' y'=5 ln ( 1 + x^2 )-1/2 ln(1- x). So, y'=5/(1+x^2)(1+x^2)'-(1/2)1/(1-x)(1-x)' =(10x)/(1+x^2)+1/(2(1-x)) =(1+20x-19x^2)/(2(1-x+x^2+x^3)) Answer link Related questions What is the derivative of f(x)=log_b(g(x)) ?
