How do you differentiate: #ln(x^2 +1)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer GiĆ³ Jul 22, 2015 I found: #(2x)/(x^2+1)# Explanation: I would use the Chain Rule to dela with #ln# first and multiply times the derivative of the argument to get: #(dy)/(dx)=1/(x^2+1)*2x=(2x)/(x^2+1)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
