\frac{d}{d y} (ln (x - 2 y))

- \frac{2}{x - 2 y}

Solution steps

\frac{d}{d y} (ln (x - 2 y))

Treat

x

as a constant

Apply the chain rule:

\frac{1}{x - 2 y} \frac{d}{d y} (x - 2 y)

= \frac{1}{x - 2 y} \frac{d}{d y} (x - 2 y)

\frac{d}{d y} (x - 2 y) = - 2

= \frac{1}{x - 2 y} (- 2)

Simplify

\frac{1}{x - 2 y} (- 2) : - \frac{2}{x - 2 y}

= - \frac{2}{x - 2 y}
