The document describes the logarithmic differentiation method used to derive functions where the exponent is a variable. It explains the steps: take the natural log of both sides, apply logarithm properties, derive both terms, isolate the function, and substitute back in. Examples are provided and solved, such as deriving y=xx, y=sen(x)(x3+6x), and y=ln x3 + 5x2cos(x). Related activities are summarized with solutions to practice problems applying this method.
