First, you must realize that logarithmic differentiation is the most efficient and least time consuming way to find dy/dx. Using the product rule or the quotient rule to find the derivative would take way too long and it would be rather tedious.
ln(y) = ln(x) + 1/2*ln(x^5 + 8)) - 2/3*ln(x - 3)
Differentiating both sides:
y'/y = 1/x + (5x^4)/(2x^5 + 16) - 2/3*1/(x - 3)
y' = [(x(√(x^5)+8))/((x-3)^(2/3))] * [1/x + (5x^4)/(2x^5 + 16) - 2/3*1/(x - 3)]
ln(y) = ln(x) + 1/2*ln(x^5 + 8)) - 2/3*ln(x - 3)
Differentiating both sides:
y'/y = 1/x + (5x^4)/(2x^5 + 16) - 2/3*1/(x - 3)
y' = [(x(√(x^5)+8))/((x-3)^(2/3))] * [1/x + (5x^4)/(2x^5 + 16) - 2/3*1/(x - 3)]

y = x(√(x^5)+8)/((x-3)^(2/3))
ln y = ln (x(√(x^5)+8)) - (2/3) ln (x - 3)
implicit differentiation,
(1/y) y' = 1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3)) * 1
y' = [1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3))] (x(√(x^5)+8)/((x-3)^(2/3)))
y' = [1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3))] y
ln y = ln (x(√(x^5)+8)) - (2/3) ln (x - 3)
implicit differentiation,
(1/y) y' = 1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3)) * 1
y' = [1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3))] (x(√(x^5)+8)/((x-3)^(2/3)))
y' = [1/(x(√(x^5)+8)) * ( (7 √(x^5))/2 + 8) - 2/(3(x - 3))] y

Lets sign a petition that math should be optional and not mandatory since we dont really need it in real life situations
