Find the Derivative - d/dx (3x-8) natural log of 2x^5+3
Problem
Solution
Identify the product rule, which states that
d()/d(x)*ƒ(x)*g(x)=ƒ(x)d(g(x))/d(x)+g(x)d(ƒ(x))/d(x) Assign the functions
ƒ(x)=3*x−8 andg(x)=ln(2*x5+3) Differentiate
ƒ(x) to findd(3*x−8)/d(x)=3 Differentiate
g(x) using the chain rule, whered(ln(u))/d(x)=1/ud(u)/d(x) Calculate the derivative of the inner function
d(2*x5+3)/d(x)=10*x4 Combine the chain rule components to find
d(ln(2*x5+3))/d(x)=(10*x4)/(2*x5+3) Apply the product rule formula by substituting the parts.
Simplify the expression by distributing and rearranging terms.
