The problem I'm having is what do I do with x = et or t = ln x.


The Attempt at a Solution


I know you have to start with x = et or t = ln x however I'm not sure what to do next...

You need to express ## y' = \frac {dy} {dx}, \ y'' = \frac {d^2y} {dx^2} ## in terms of ## \frac {dy} {dt} ## and ## \frac {d^2y} {dt^2} ##.
