00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.198
Here is the problem: derivative of (ln(x squared plus 1))/(sqrt(3x minus 2)).

2
00:00:07.648 --> 00:00:15.334
Find the derivative of (ln(x squared plus 1)) / (sqrt(3 x minus 2)) with respect to x.

3
00:00:16.134 --> 00:00:22.926
Quotient rule: (u/v) prime equals (u prime v minus uv prime )/v squared.

4
00:00:23.376 --> 00:00:29.878
Chain rule — d by d x[the square root of u] equals u prime /(2the square root of u.

5
00:00:30.328 --> 00:00:33.707
Difference rule: differentiate each term separately.

6
00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:35.701
Constant multiple rule.

7
00:00:36.501 --> 00:00:41.563
Chain rule — d by d x[ln u] equals u prime /u.

8
00:00:42.013 --> 00:00:45.136
Sum rule: differentiate each term separately.

9
00:00:45.586 --> 00:00:52.181
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

10
00:00:52.631 --> 00:00:54.187
Combine and simplify.

11
00:00:54.987 --> 00:01:09.418
So the answer is f prime of x equals (2x / (x squared plus 1) plus ln(x squared plus 1) times negative 3 over 2 / sqrt(3 x minus 2) squared) / sqrt(3 x minus 2).

12
00:01:09.868 --> 00:01:22.836
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).

13
00:01:23.636 --> 00:01:30.231
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
