We can set this up by saying:
3 / 30 = x / 140 now we can solve!
1 / 10 = x / 140
x = 140 / 10
x = 14

Hope this helps! :)

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function in Exercise, find the derivative of the function. See Examples 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Leni [432]

Answer: $\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : $y=\ln(x(x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{2}})$

$\Rightarrow\ y=\ln x+\ln (x^2-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ [ $\because \ln(ab)=\ln a +\ln b$ ]

$\Rightarrow y=\ln x+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (x^2-1)}$ [ $\because \ln(a)^n=n\ln a$ ]

Now , Differentiate both sides with respect to x , we will get

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1)$ (By Chain rule)

[Note : $\dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\dfrac{1}{x}$ ]

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x-0)$

[ $\because \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}$ ]

$=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x) = \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{x}{x^2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2-1)+(x^2)}{x(x^2-1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}$

Hence, the derivative of the given function is $\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}$ .
