1. logarithmic differentiaion

Hey guys my teacher is confusing the hell out of me with this one problem we went over in class.So here it is.

f(x) = (2x + 1)^10 * (3x +1)^20 / sinx sqrt(cosx)

Is everything in the numerator divided by sinx(cosx)^.5?

4. yes but its sinx * square root(cosx)

So it looks like this

$f(x) = \frac{(2x + 1)^{10}(3x +1)^{20}}{\sin{x}\sqrt{\cos{x}}}$

6. you got it

Ok so first thing we do is take ln of both sides

$\ln{y} = \ln{\frac{(2x + 1)^{10}(3x +1)^{20}}{\sin{x}\sqrt{\cos{x}}}}$

Next use the properties of ln to simplify the right side

$\ln{y} = \ln{(2x + 1)^{10}(3x+1)^{20}} -\ln{\sin{x}\sqrt{\cos{x}}}$

$\ln{y} = \ln{(2x+1)^{10}} + \ln{(3x+1)^{20}}-[\ln{\sin{x}} + \ln{\cos^{\frac{1}{2}}{x}}]$

$\ln{y} = 10\ln{(2x+1)} + 20\ln{(3x+1)}-\ln{\sin{x}} - \frac{\ln{\cos{x}}}{2}$

Can you finish up from here?

8. do u do the derivative of y on both sides and then move y to the other side

Please don't double post. I'm working it for you on your other post.

10. Yep

$\ln{y}$ becomes $\frac{y'}{y}$

so $y' = y$(the derivative of the right side)

$y= \frac{(2x + 1)^{10}(3x +1)^{20}}{\sin{x}\sqrt{\cos{x}}}$

Do you need me to workout the derivative?

11. Hello, uniquereason81!

This is a messy one.
I must assume you know the basics of Logarithmic Differentiation.

$y \;=\;\frac{(2x + 1)^{10}(3x +1)^{20}}{\sin x \sqrt{\cos x}}$
Take logs and expand as much as possible . . .

$\ln(y) \;=\;\ln\left[\frac{(2x+1)^{10}(3x+1)^{20}}{\sin x \sqrt{\cos x}} \right]$

. . . . $= \;\ln\bigg[(2x+1)^{10}(3x+1)^{20}\bigg] - \ln\bigg[\sin x (\cos x)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg]$

. . . . $= \;\ln(2x+1)^{10} + \ln(3x+1)^{20} - \bigg[\ln(\sin x) + \ln(\cos x)^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg]$

. . . . $= \;10\ln(2x+1) + 20\ln(3x+1) - \ln(\sin x) - \frac{1}{2}\ln(\cos x)$

Differentiate implicitly:

. . $\frac{1}{y}\cdot\frac{dy}{dx} \;=\;10\cdot\frac{2}{2x+1} + 20\cdot\frac{3}{3x+1} - \frac{\cos x}{\sin x} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{\text{-}\sin x}{\cos x}$

. . $\frac{1}{y}\cdot\frac{dy}{dx} \;=\;\frac{20}{2x+1} + \frac{60}{3x+1} - \cot x + \frac{1}{2}\tan x$

Multiply by $y\!:\quad\frac{dy}{dx} \;=\;y\left[\frac{20}{2x+1} + \frac{60}{3x+1} - \cot z + \frac{1}{2}\tan x\right]$

Therefore: . $\frac{dy}{dx}\;=\;\frac{(2x+1)^{10}(3x+1)^{20}}{\s in x\sqrt{\cos x}}\left[\frac{20}{2x+1} + \frac{60}{3x+1} - \cot x + \frac{1}{2}\tan x\right]$

12. yes please cause i don't think he went that far cause we ran out of time

Soroban finished it for you on your other post. If you have have any more questions feel free to ask.
