2 log (4*x + 1)
d / 2 \ --\log (4*x + 1)/ dx
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 :
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 the constant is zero.
The result is:
The result of the chain rule is:
The result of the chain rule is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
8*log(4*x + 1) -------------- 4*x + 1
32*(1 - log(1 + 4*x)) --------------------- 2 (1 + 4*x)
128*(-3 + 2*log(1 + 4*x)) ------------------------- 3 (1 + 4*x)
