1 # Logarithmic Differentiation 2 3 Leonard 4 5 **Definition:** Logarithmic differentiation is the process of applying logs to both sides of an equation to aid in our ability to find their derivative. 6 7 Steps: 8 9 1. Take log of both sides 10 2. Expand both sides (y will become d/dx(y) times 1/y) 11 3. Solve derivative 12 4. Multiply both sides by y to remove y term from left 13 5. Replace y with original equation (or leave as is)
