Final answer:

To find dy/dx using logarithmic differentiation, follow these steps: take natural logarithm, simplify using logarithmic properties, differentiate implicitly, isolate dy/dx, replace variables, and solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find dy/dx using logarithmic differentiation, we follow these steps:

Take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation.

Apply logarithmic properties to simplify the equation.

Differentiate implicitly with respect to x.

Isolate dy/dx on one side of the equation.

Replace any y or dy/dx terms using the original equation in step 1.

Solve for dy/dx.
