Table 2.6.5(a) Logarithmic differentiation with three factors

Take the natural log of both sides. The log of the product on the right is the sum of logs. Differentiate both sides. On the left, the derivative of is while on the right, the derivatives of the logs yield a sum of fractions of the form derivative divided by function. Multiply through by , which is itself the original product, and simplify.
