what is the derivative of ln x^8/ (x^2) ???
-
Rewrite as 8ln(x)/x^2 then use the quotient rule
((x^2)(8/x) - 8ln(x)(2x))/x^4 = (8x - 16xln(x))/x^4 = (8(1 - 2ln(x))/x^3
((x^2)(8/x) - 8ln(x)(2x))/x^4 = (8x - 16xln(x))/x^4 = (8(1 - 2ln(x))/x^3
-
[x^2 (1/x^8)(8x^7) - (lnx^8) (2x)] / x^4
-
d/dx[ln(x^8)/x^2] = d/dx[8*ln(x)/x^2] = 8*(x - 2x*ln(x))/x^4
