How do you differentiate ln(f(x))? Tricks like these occur commonly in STEP questions (including one I was looking at earlier today).

Assumed knowledge: The chain rule, implicit differentiation and being able to differentiate exp(x).Chain rule: d/dx = d/dy * dy/dxImplicit differentiation: f(y) = g(x) => f'(y)*dy/dx = g'(x) (where f'(y) ...
