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 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:
2
3*log (x + 3)
-------------
x + 3
3*(2 - log(3 + x))*log(3 + x)
-----------------------------
2
(3 + x)
/ 2 \
6*\1 + log (3 + x) - 3*log(3 + x)/
----------------------------------
3
(3 + x)
