Apply the quotient rule, which is:
and .
To find :
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Apply the power rule: goes to
So, the result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
To find :
Apply the power rule: goes to
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
The answer is:
1 log(3*x) -- - -------- 2 2 x x
-3 + 2*log(3*x)
---------------
3
