1
To derive the function $\left(2x+1\right)^5\left(x^4-3\right)^6$, use the method of logarithmic differentiation. First, assign the function to $y$, then take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation
$y=\left(2x+1\right)^5\left(x^4-3\right)^6$
2
Apply natural logarithm to both sides of the equality
$\ln\left(y\right)=\ln\left(\left(2x+1\right)^5\left(x^4-3\right)^6\right)$
Intermediate steps
Apply logarithm properties to both sides of the equality
$\ln\left(y\right)=\ln\left(\left(2x+1\right)^5\left(x^4-3\right)^6\right)$
Applying the product rule for logarithms: $\log_b\left(MN\right)=\log_b\left(M\right)+\log_b\left(N\right)$
$\ln\left(y\right)=\ln\left(\left(2x+1\right)^5\right)+\ln\left(\left(x^4-3\right)^6\right)$
Using the power rule of logarithms: $\log_a(x^n)=n\cdot\log_a(x)$
$\ln\left(y\right)=5\ln\left(2x+1\right)+\ln\left(\left(x^4-3\right)^6\right)$
Using the power rule of logarithms: $\log_a(x^n)=n\cdot\log_a(x)$
$\ln\left(y\right)=5\ln\left(2x+1\right)+6\ln\left(x^4-3\right)$
3
Apply logarithm properties to both sides of the equality
$\ln\left(y\right)=5\ln\left(2x+1\right)+6\ln\left(x^4-3\right)$

4
Derive both sides of the equality with respect to $x$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\ln\left(y\right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(5\ln\left(2x+1\right)+6\ln\left(x^4-3\right)\right)$
5
The derivative of the natural logarithm of a function is equal to the derivative of the function divided by that function. If $f(x)=ln\:a$ (where $a$ is a function of $x$), then $\displaystyle f'(x)=\frac{a'}{a}$
$\frac{1}{y}\frac{d}{dx}\left(y\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(5\ln\left(2x+1\right)+6\ln\left(x^4-3\right)\right)$
