Homework Statement
Find the derivative using logarithmic differentiation:
y=(x+5)(x+9)
The Attempt at a Solution
lny=ln(x^2+14x+45)
lny=(2x+14)/(x^2+14x+45)
y'=(x^2+14x+45)((2x+14)/(x^2+14x+45))However, I know the derivative of the function is actually 2x+14. So I am wondering what is wrong with my process?
UPDATE: Wow it only took typing my problem into this forum and making the post before I realized that I did do it right! You guys are good! lol sorry for wasting any ones time.
