Q.NO.17 Read the passage given below and answer the following questions……..
Logarithmic Differentiation.
Assume that the function has the form y = f(x)g(x) where both f and g are non-constant
functions. Although this function is not implicit, it does not fall under any of the forms for
which we developed differentiation formulas so far. This is because of the following.
➢ In order to use the power rule, the exponent needs to be constant.
➢ In order to use the exponential function differentiation formula, the base needs to
be constant.
Thus, no differentiation rule covers the case y = f(x)g(x)
➢ These functions sill can be differentiated by using the method known as the
logarithmic differentiation.
To differentiate a function of the form y = f(x)g(x) follow the steps of the logarithmic
differentiation below.
1. Take logarithm of both sides of the equation y = f(x)g(x):
2. Rewrite the right side logf(x)g(x) as g(x). log(f(x)):
3. Differentiate both sides.

MrManiratnam is a Maths teacher. He used to go to park everyday for morning walk. There he
observed many mathematical figures like circle, ellipse, parabola, tetrahedron, sphere,
hemisphere etc. Being a Maths teacher, after Walk , he tries to frame the mathematical
equation of the figures and see the results geometrically after differentiating them.
