Any help on this Calculus problem?

[Mathmasteriw]

Hello Everybody,
I wonder if anybody can help me with this problem?
Is this the final answer with respect to t?
Is it correct? Where am I going wrong ?
Thank you for your time!

Isn't this the same question as https://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/threads/help-with-function.127118/, which we helped you with before?

Your answer happens to be right, but your work is nonsense. You didn't use the chain rule, and then you made it seem like x and t are the same thing.

Look back at what you were told before, and try again.

Yep same question!
I'm not sure how to lay the question out to present the answer.

i will try again thanks for your time

\(V(t)=\log(f(t))\\f(t)=2t\) so we have \(\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{f'(t)}{f(t)}=\dfrac{2}{2t}=\dfrac{1}{t}\)

Based on your work you are not using the correct formula. What follows next is what you should do to update all your other formulas.

[math] If\ y = A\log_eU,\ then\ y' = \dfrac {A}{U}\dfrac{dU}{dt}[/math]. So in all your derivative formulas you should replace all x's (or t's or q's,...) with U and then multiply by dU/dx (or dU/dt or dU/dq,...)

In your case U = 2t. So [math]\dfrac{dU}{dt}\ =\ 2[/math]

Thanks for your help guys! Will try that one again shortly! ?
