Detail solution
  1. Apply the product rule:

    ddxf(x)g(x)=f(x)ddxg(x)+g(x)ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)} g{\left(x \right)} = f{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)} + g{\left(x \right)} \frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}

    f(x)=3xf{\left(x \right)} = 3 x; to find ddxf(x)\frac{d}{d x} f{\left(x \right)}:

    1. The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      So, the result is: 33

    g(x)=x1g{\left(x \right)} = x - 1; to find ddxg(x)\frac{d}{d x} g{\left(x \right)}:

    1. Differentiate x1x - 1 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      2. The derivative of the constant 1-1 is zero.

      The result is: 11

    The result is: 6x36 x - 3


The answer is:

6x36 x - 3
