----------
    x     
$$\frac{2 \log{\left(3 x \right)}}{x}$$
(2*log(3*x))/x
Detail solution
  1. Apply the quotient rule, which is:

    and .

    To find :

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

      1. Let .

      2. The derivative of is .

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

        1. 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 of the chain rule is:

      So, the result is:

    To find :

    1. Apply the power rule: goes to

    Now plug in to the quotient rule:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:
