v

The graph:

from to

Piecewise:

The solution

You have entered [src]
log(x + 3) - x
$$- x + \log{\left(x + 3 \right)}$$
log(x + 3) - x
Detail solution
  1. Differentiate term by term:

    1. Let .

    2. The derivative of is .

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by :

      1. Differentiate term by term:

        1. Apply the power rule: goes to

        2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

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

      1. Apply the power rule: goes to

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
       1  
-1 + -----
     x + 3
$$-1 + \frac{1}{x + 3}$$
The second derivative [src]
  -1    
--------
       2
(3 + x) 
$$- \frac{1}{\left(x + 3\right)^{2}}$$
The third derivative [src]
   2    
--------
       3
(3 + x) 
$$\frac{2}{\left(x + 3\right)^{3}}$$
