Logarithmic Differentiation Process

Mark
< Prev
Next >

I.

For y(x)=(x2+1)3x−1y(x)=\frac{(x^2+1)^3}{\sqrt{x-1}} (with x > 1), taking natural logarithms gives ln⁡(y)=3ln⁡(x2+1)−12ln⁡(x−1)\ln(y)=3\ln(x^2+1)-\frac{1}{2}\ln(x-1).

II.

Differentiating both sides yields y′y=6∗xx2+1−12∗(x−1)\frac{y'}{y}= \frac{6*x}{x^2+1}-\frac{1}{2*(x-1)}.

III.

Thus, the derivative is given by y′=y∗(6∗xx2+1+12∗(x−1))y'= y*\left(\frac{6*x}{x^2+1}+\frac{1}{2*(x-1)}\right).

Which of the above statements regarding logarithmic differentiation are true?

A

I and III only

B

I, II, and III

C

I and II only

D

II only
