    Linearizing this equation of a curve

    Greetings~ We were told to linearize this equation below: y= x^2/(a+bx)^2 after we multiply both the sides with the denominator (a+bx)^2, and then divide both the sides by y, can we apply ln to both the sides? Because I can see no other way of linearizing this :/
