Differentiate using the Quotient Rule which states that d d x [ f ( x ) g ( x ) ] is g ( x ) d d x [ f ( x ) ] f ( x ) d d x [ g ( x ) ] g ( x ) 2
where f ( x ) = x 3 and g ( x ) = ln ( x )
ln ( x ) d d x [ x 3 ] x 3 d d x [ ln ( x ) ] ln 2 ( x )
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that d d x [ x n ] is n x n 1 where n=3.
ln ( x ) ( 3 x 2 ) x 3 d d x [ ln ( x ) ] ln 2 ( x )
The derivative of ln ( x ) with respect to x is 1 x
ln ( x ) ( 3 x 2 ) x 3 1 x ln 2 ( x )
Simplify.
x 2 ( 1 ln ( x 3 ) ) ln 2 ( x )
