Answer

$h(\ln x)=4.3(\ln x)^3-2 (\ln x)^2+4 (\ln x)-12$ $\frac{dh( \ln x)}{dx}=12.9(\ln x)^2 \frac{1}{x} -4(\ln x) \frac{1}{x}+4\cdot \frac{1}{x}$

Work Step by Step

$h(t)=4.3t^3-2t^2+4t-12$ $t(x)=\ln x$ Composite function will be $y=h(\ln x)=4.3(\ln x)^3-2 (\ln x)^2+4 (\ln x)-12$ Taking derivative with respect to x $\frac{dy}{dx}=4.3\times3 (\ln x)^2 \frac{1}{x} -2\times2 (\ln x) \frac{1}{x}+4\times \frac{1}{x}$ $\frac{d{y}}{dx}=12.9(\ln x)^2 \frac{1}{x} -4 (\ln x) \frac{1}{x}+4\cdot \frac{1}{x}$
