![**Mathematics: Calculus and Derivation**
In this exercise, you're given two functions of \( f(x) \) in logarithmic form and asked to find their derivatives, \( f'(x) \).
1. **Function 1:**
\[
\text{Let } f(x) = \ln\left[x^7(x+5)^5(x^2+4)^8\right]
\]
Students should apply the properties of logarithms and the chain rule to differentiate this expression. The function is a composition of exponential functions within a natural logarithm, hinting at the use of the logarithmic derivative.
2. **Function 2:**
\[
\text{Let } f(x) = \ln\left[x^7(x+3)^5(x^2+2)^7\right]
\]
Similar to the first function, the task is to differentiate using the properties of logarithms and the chain rule.
These exercises emphasize the application of logarithm properties to simplify complex expressions and finding derivatives of logarithmic functions. Ensure to expand and simplify the expressions within the derivative process.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8454244d-2ca0-41f3-9318-6fe08fd1fd0a%2F9a1b267d-3f0c-4455-944f-def6e2afe764%2Fzpatrq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
