Take the derivative of a function by taking the log of both sides

The video tutorial explains how to use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of a function with a base other than e. It begins by discussing the limitations of directly differentiating such functions and introduces the concept of taking the natural logarithm of both sides to simplify the process. The tutorial then demonstrates how to apply the power rule and other derivative rules to complete the derivation, emphasizing the importance of understanding constants like the natural logarithm of a number.
