Apply the quotient rule, which is:
dxdg(x)f(x)=g2(x)−f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=x3log(x) and g(x)=log(2).
To find dxdf(x):
-
Apply the product rule:
dxdf(x)g(x)=f(x)dxdg(x)+g(x)dxdf(x)
f(x)=x3; to find dxdf(x):
-
Apply the power rule: x3 goes to 3x2
g(x)=log(x); to find dxdg(x):
-
The derivative of log(x) is x1.
The result is: 3x2log(x)+x2
To find dxdg(x):
-
The derivative of the constant log(2) is zero.
Now plug in to the quotient rule:
log(2)3x2log(x)+x2
