  1. f′(x) = ln (cos 3x) − 3x tan 3x −3x^2


The rule    for finding the derivative  of  y   =   ln  u   is   ,  where   u   is  a   function    of  x.

Here    we  will    use the Product Rule    to  find    the derivative:     (−3 sin 3x) +   (1) ln  cos

3 x −   3x^2 .  This    simplifies  to  f′(x)   =   ln  (cos    3x) −   3x  tan 3x  −   3x^2.

The rule    for finding the derivative  of  y   =   eu  is   ,  where   u   is  a   function    of  x.  Here

we   will    use     the     Quotient    Rule    to  find    the     derivative:     f′(x)   =  

. This can be simplified to

The rule    for finding the derivative  of  y   =   loga u  is   ,  where   u   is  a   function    of  x.

Before  we  find    the derivative, we  can use the laws    of  logarithms  to  expand  the logarithm.  This

way,    we  won’t   have    to  use the Product Rule    or  the Quotient    Rule.   We  get f(x)    =   log 6   (3x tan x)

=    log 6 +     x   +   log 6 tan   x.  Now     we  can     find    the     derivative:     f′(x)   =   0   +  

. This can be simplified to .

The rule    for finding the derivative  of  y   =   loga    u   is   ,  and the rule    for finding the

derivative  of  y   =   ln  u   is   ,  where   u   is  a   function    of  x.  Here    we  will    use the Product
