Derive 4x^2lnx^6

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, you have to apply the product rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When I did product rule I got 8xlnx^6 +4x^61/x^6 is that right?

geerky42 (geerky42):

You got first part correct \((8x~\ln x^6)\), but not second part. You have to derivative \(\ln x^6\), right? Just apply chain rule here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 6x^5 for the second part?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Derivative of \(\ln x^6\) is \(\dfrac{6x^5}{x^6} = \dfrac{6}{x}\), right? So second part should be \(4x^2\cdot\dfrac{6}{x} = 24x\)
