Detail solution

Apply the quotient rule, which is:

$\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$

$f{\left(x \right)} = \cot{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = x$ .

To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. There are multiple ways to do this derivative.
  Method #1
  1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
    
    $\cot{\left(3 x - 1 \right)} = \frac{1}{\tan{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}}$
  2. Let $u = \tan{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$ .
  3. Apply the power rule: $\frac{1}{u}$ goes to $- \frac{1}{u^{2}}$
  4. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \tan{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$ :
    1. Rewrite the function to be differentiated:
      
      $\tan{\left(3 x - 1 \right)} = \frac{\sin{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}}{\cos{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}}$
    2. Apply the quotient rule, which is:
      
      $\frac{d}{d x} \frac{f{\left(x \right)}}{g{\left(x \right)}} = \frac{- f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}}{g^{2}{\left(x \right)}}$
      
      $f{\left(x \right)} = \sin{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$ and $g{\left(x \right)} = \cos{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$ .
      
      To find $\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}$ :
      
      Let $u = 3 x - 1$ .
      
      The derivative of sine is cosine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d u} \sin{\left(u \right)} = \cos{\left(u \right)}$
      
      Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x - 1\right)$ :
      
      Differentiate $3 x - 1$ term by term:
      
      The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      
      Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$
      
      So, the result is: $3$
      
      The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
      
      The result is: $3$
      
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $3 \cos{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$
      
      To find $\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}$ :
      
      Let $u = 3 x - 1$ .
      
      The derivative of cosine is negative sine:
      
      $\frac{d}{d u} \cos{\left(u \right)} = - \sin{\left(u \right)}$
      
      Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \left(3 x - 1\right)$ :
      
      Differentiate $3 x - 1$ term by term:
      
      The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
      
      Apply the power rule: $x$ goes to $1$

      The result is: $3$
      
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $- 3 \sin{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$
      
      Now plug in to the quotient rule:
      
      $\frac{3 \sin^{2}{\left(3 x - 1 \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}}{\cos^{2}{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}}$

      The derivative of the constant $-1$ is zero.
      
      The result is: $3$
      
      The result of the chain rule is:
      
      $- 3 \sin{\left(3 x - 1 \right)}$
