- Why might one prefer to use the logarithmic differentiation for finding derivatives of functions that have another function as an exponent? The question basically means why we should use logarithmic differentiation when finding derivative of functions in the form of f(x)g(x).arrow_forward3. (a) Use logarithmic differentiation to show why the derivative of a" is a In a, where a is a real number. Show all steps of your work. (b) Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of e"g©os(x).arrow_forwardFind the first derivative of f = (h+2)² (2h+1) √h²+3 using logarithmic differentiationarrow_forward
