The solution

You have entered [src]
log(3*x + 1)
------------
   log(5)   
$$\frac{\log{\left(3 x + 1 \right)}}{\log{\left(5 \right)}}$$
log(3*x + 1)/log(5)
Detail solution
  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. Differentiate term by term:

        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:

        2. The derivative of the constant is zero.

        The result is:

      The result of the chain rule is:

    So, the result is:

  2. Now simplify:


The answer is:

The graph
The first derivative [src]
       3        
----------------
(3*x + 1)*log(5)
$$\frac{3}{\left(3 x + 1\right) \log{\left(5 \right)}}$$
The second derivative [src]
       -9        
-----------------
         2       
(1 + 3*x) *log(5)
$$- \frac{9}{\left(3 x + 1\right)^{2} \log{\left(5 \right)}}$$
The third derivative [src]
        54       
-----------------
         3       
(1 + 3*x) *log(5)
$$\frac{54}{\left(3 x + 1\right)^{3} \log{\left(5 \right)}}$$
