y'=(140x+24)/(70x^2+24x+7)

Explanation:

Note that

(ln(x))'=1/x
We also Need the chain rule. So we get

y'=(140x+24)/(70x^2+24x+7)

f'(y)=(140x+24)/(70x^2+24x+7)

Explanation:

Bit old fashioned in my approach so I will be using format type dy/dx

Set f(x)=t=70x^2+24x+7 color(white)("d") ->(dt)/(dx) = 140x+24

Set y=ln(t) ->dy/(dt)=1/t

Combining these as: dy/(dt)xx(dt)/dx = dy/dx

So applying the above:

dy/dx=f'(x)= color(white)("d")1/(70x^2+24x+7)xx(140x+24)

color(white)("dddd.ddddd") = color(white)("d") (140x+24)/(70x^2+24x+7)
