The document discusses the derivation of the logarithmic derivative of several functions: 1) For the function y = xln(x), the logarithmic derivative is y'/y = 1/x. 2) For the function y = 2^3x, the logarithmic derivative is y'/y = 3/2x. 3) For the function y = x(x^2-1)/(x^2+1)^(1/2), the logarithmic derivative is y'/y = (3x^2-1)/(x^3-x) - 4x/(x^2+1).
