Differentiate the following with respect to x:

Given,


f(x) =


using change of base formula for log, we can write –


logx 3 = (loge 3)/(loge x)


f(x) =


f(x) =


we need to find f’(x), so differentiating both sides with respect to x –


)


Using algebra of derivatives –


f’(x) =


Use the formula:



f’(x) = 2( – cosec x cot x) + 8(2x loge2) – 4/(loge3) (1/x)


f’(x) =


f’(x) =
