Answer

Composite function=$f(5t+11)=\ln (5t+11)$ $f^{'}(5t+11)=\frac{5}{5t+11}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x)=\ln x; x(t)=5t+11$ Composite function will be; $f(5t+11)=\ln (5t+11)$ Taking derivative with respect to t $f^{'}(5t+11)=\frac{d[\ln (5t+11) ]}{dt} $ $f^{'}(5t+11)=\frac{1}{5t+11}\frac{d(5t+11)}{dt} $ $f^{'}(5t+11)=\frac{1}{5t+11}\times(5)=\frac{5}{5t+11}$
