/ 2 \ log\- x + 6*x - 4/
log(-x^2 + 6*x - 4)
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Differentiate term by term:
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 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 is:
The derivative of the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
6 - 2*x -------------- 2 - x + 6*x - 4
/ 2 \ | 2*(-3 + x) | 2*|1 - ------------| | 2 | \ 4 + x - 6*x/ -------------------- 2 4 + x - 6*x
