/ 2 \ log\x - 3*x/ ------------- log(10)
log(x^2 - 3*x)/log(10)
The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function.
Let .
The derivative of is .
Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :
Differentiate term by term:
Apply the power rule: goes to
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 result of the chain rule is:
So, the result is:
Now simplify:
The answer is:
-3 + 2*x ------------------ / 2 \ \x - 3*x/*log(10)
2
(-3 + 2*x)
2 - -----------
x*(-3 + x)
------------------
x*(-3 + x)*log(10)
/ 2\
| (-3 + 2*x) |
-2*(-3 + 2*x)*|3 - -----------|
\ x*(-3 + x)/
-------------------------------
2 2
x *(-3 + x) *log(10)
