Introduction to Logarithmic Differentiation

This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into logarithmic differentiation. It explains how to find the derivative of functions such as x^x, x^sinx, (lnx)^x, and x^(1/x). You need to take the natural log of both sides of the equation and perform implicit differentiation to find dy/dx. You need to be familiar with product rule for derivatives and properties of logarithms.
