Solution Summary

This solution contains step-by-step calculations to determine the derivative to determine the logarithmic differentiation.

Solution Preview

f(x) = {e^(2x) * (2x - 1)^5} / [x^3 + 5^{2(4 - 7x)}]

f(x) = {e^(2x) * (2x - 1)^5} / {x^3 + 5^(8 - 14x)}

Taking logarithms on both sides, we get

ln f(x) = ln [{e^(2x) * (2x - 1)^5} / {x^3 + 5^(8 - 14x)}]

ln f(x) = ln e^(2x) + 5 ln(2x - 1) - ln {x^3 + 5^(8 ...
