The problem. Here is the problem: derivative of (e to the power 2x) plus (ln(3x minus 2)). Find the derivative of (e to the power 2x) plus (ln(3 x minus 2)) with respect to x.
Steps, part 1. Sum rule: differentiate each term separately. Chain rule — d by d x[ln u] equals u prime /u. Difference rule: differentiate each term separately. Constant multiple rule.
Steps, part 2. Exponential rule: d by d x[eᵘ] equals eᵘ times u prime. Constant multiple rule. Combine and simplify.
The answer. So the answer is f prime of x equals 2e to the power 2x plus 3 / (3 x minus 2). The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).
Check. Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
