Answer: Choice C)

(x-2)(3x) + (x-2)(4)

======================================

How to get this answer? One easy way that might work is to let y = x-2, which will allow us to do a replacement.

We will go from (x-2)(3x+4) to y(3x+4). Now use the distributive property to multiply the y term by each term inside

y(3x+4) = y*3x + y*4 = (y)*(3x) + (y)*(4)

The last step is to re-introduce y = x-2 back in. So replace y with x-2 like so

(y)*(3x) + (y)*(4) = (x-2)*(3x) + (x-2)(4)

Hey guys, real fast<br><br><br> how is the derivative of 3xlnx = 3+ln(x^3)

Harman [31]

You will need to use product rule.
The product rule is:
$\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)$

$\frac{d}{dx}( 3x \ln x) =( \frac{d}{dx}(3x) \cdot \ln x )+ (3x \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\ln x))\\\\ = 3\ln x + 3x\cdot \frac{1}{x}\\\\=3 \ln x + 3$

This can also be written as (using the log rules):
$3 \ln x + 3 = \boxed{\ln(x^3) + 3}$
