Transform

Detail solution

Let $u = \log{\left(x \right)}$ .
Apply the power rule: $u^{4}$ goes to $4 u^{3}$
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by $\frac{d}{d x} \log{\left(x \right)}$ :
1. The derivative of $\log{\left(x \right)}$ is $\frac{1}{x}$ .
The result of the chain rule is:

$\frac{4 \log{\left(x \right)}^{3}}{x}$

The answer is:

$\frac{4 \log{\left(x \right)}^{3}}{x}$
