Detail solution
  1. Let u=13xu = 1 - 3 x.

  2. The derivative of log(u)\log{\left(u \right)} is 1u\frac{1}{u}.

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(13x)\frac{d}{d x} \left(1 - 3 x\right):

    1. Differentiate 13x1 - 3 x term by term:

      1. The derivative of the constant 11 is zero.

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

        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

        So, the result is: 3-3

      The result is: 3-3

    The result of the chain rule is:

    313x- \frac{3}{1 - 3 x}

  4. Now simplify:

    33x1\frac{3}{3 x - 1}


The answer is:

33x1\frac{3}{3 x - 1}
