Let .
Apply the power rule: goes to
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
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:
The result of the chain rule is:
The answer is:
2 4*log (3*x)*(3 - log(3*x)) -------------------------- 2 x
/ 2 \ 4*\6 - 9*log(3*x) + 2*log (3*x)/*log(3*x) ----------------------------------------- 3 x
