Math Problem Statement

Which of the following is the derivative of the function y = 5x^2 ln(3x)?

Solution

To find the derivative of the function y=5x2ln(3x)y = 5x^2 \ln(3x), we’ll need to apply the product rule, which states:

ddx[f(x)g(x)]=f(x)g(x)+f(x)g(x)\frac{d}{dx}[f(x) \cdot g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)

Here, let:

  • f(x)=5x2f(x) = 5x^2 and g(x)=ln(3x)g(x) = \ln(3x).

We’ll find f(x)f'(x) and g(x)g'(x) individually, then use the product rule to get yy'.

  1. Differentiate f(x)=5x2f(x) = 5x^2: f(x)=52x=10xf'(x) = 5 \cdot 2x = 10x

  2. Differentiate g(x)=ln(3x)g(x) = \ln(3x): Using the chain rule, where ln(3x)=ln(3)+ln(x)\ln(3x) = \ln(3) + \ln(x), we find: g(x)=1xg'(x) = \frac{1}{x}

  3. Apply the product rule: y=f(x)g(x)+f(x)g(x)y' = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x) Substituting the values: y=(10x)ln(3x)+5x21xy' = (10x) \ln(3x) + 5x^2 \cdot \frac{1}{x}

  4. Simplify the expression: y=10xln(3x)+5xy' = 10x \ln(3x) + 5x

Now, let's match this with the provided options.

The correct answer is:

[ \boxed{10
