# How can we prove that $\frac{y'}{y}=(\ln y)'$? [closed]

I recently came accross a differential equation where there was $\frac{y'}{y}$. How can we prove that $\frac{y'}{y}=(\ln y)'$?

• Just apply the chain rule. – MatheinBoulomenos Mar 11 '17 at 16:04

Assuming $y$ is a function of another variable and can be written, $y(t)$, we have \begin{align*} \frac{d(\log y(t))}{dt} = \frac{1}{y(t)} \cdot y'(t) \end{align*} by the chain rule.
using the chain rule we have $$(\ln(y))'=\frac{1}{y}\cdot y'$$
