- 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 .
