Logarithmic Differentiation Sometimes the properties of logarithms can be used to simplify the differentiation

Logarithmic Differentiation Sometimes the properties of logarithms can be used to simplify the differentiation process, even if logarithms themselves must be introduced as a step in the process. The process of introducing logarithms before differentiating is called logarithmic differentiation. Copyright © 2016, 2012, and 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. 8
