I'm guessing that the original equations is
y = √x•ex^4•(x2+1)7
ln(y) = ln(x)/2 + x4ln(e)+ 7ln(x2+1) --> note ln(e) = 1 or ln(ez) = z
Taking the derivative of both sides
y '/y = 1/(2x) + 4x3 + 7(2x)/(x2+1)
y ' = y(1/(2x) + 4x3 + 7(2x)/(x2+1)) = (√xex^4(x2+1)7)(1/(2x) + 4x3 + 7(2x)/(x2+1))
Which could be simplified
