/ 2 \ log\x + 3*x/ ------------- log(8)
log(x^2 + 3*x)/log(8)
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(8)
2 (3 + 2*x) 2 - ---------- x*(3 + x) ---------------- x*(3 + x)*log(8)
/ 2\ | (3 + 2*x) | -2*(3 + 2*x)*|3 - ----------| \ x*(3 + x) / ----------------------------- 2 2 x *(3 + x) *log(8)
