you will have to take the natural log of both sides.
I will illustrate with an example
e.g.
y = (x^2+1)^(2x+3)
ln y = ln ((x^2+1)^(2x+3))
ln y = (2x+3)(ln(x^2+1)
now differentiate, using the product rule on the right side.
(dy/dx)/y = (2x+3)(2x/(x^2+1)) + 2ln(x^2+1)
dy/dx = y((2x+3)(2x/(x^2+1)) + 2ln(x^2+1))
you could then replace y with its original value and simplify, but that would be a general method.
