Differentiate the function? y = (ln(1 + e^x))^5 Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Monzur R. Oct 1, 2017 #dy/dx=(5e^xln^4(1+e^x))/(1+e^x)# Explanation: #y=ln^5(1+e^x)# By the chain rule, #dy/dx=5ln^4(1+e^x)*d/dx[ln(1+e^x)]=5ln^4(1+e^x)*(d/dx(1+e^x))/(1+e^x)=(5e^xln^4(1+e^x))/(1+e^x)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
