Apply constant multiple rule: Apply the constant multiple rule to the logarithmic functions.The derivative of a constant multiplied by a function is the constant multiplied by the derivative of the function. Therefore, we can take the constants out of the derivative.f′(x)=3⋅dxd(log(x))+3⋅dxd(log(3))
Recognize derivative of constant: Recognize that the derivative of a constant is 0. The function log(3) is a constant because it does not depend on x. Therefore, its derivative is 0. f′(x)=3⋅dxd(log(x))+0
Calculate derivative of log(x): Calculate the derivative of log(x) with respect to x. The derivative of log(x) with respect to x is x1. f′(x)=3⋅(x1)
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.Now we can simplify the expression by multiplying the constant 3 by the derivative of log(x).f′(x)=x3
