Answer

(a)$f(x)=g(x)h(x)=3\ln (2+5x).(\ln x)^{-1}$ (b)$f^{'}(x)=\frac{15}{2+5x}(\ln x)^{-1}-3\ln(2+5x)(\ln x)^{-2}\frac{1}{x}$

Work Step by Step

$g(x)=3\ln(2+5x);h(x)=(\ln x)^{-1}$ (a) Let $f(x)=g(x)h(x)$ $f(x)=g(x)h(x)=3\ln (2+5x).(\ln x)^{-1}$ (b) $f^{'}(x)=g^{'}(x)h(x)+g(x)h^{'}(x)$ $f^{'}(x)=3\frac{1}{2+5x}(5)(\ln x)^{-1}+3\ln(2+5x)(-1)(\ln x)^{-2}\frac{1}{x}$ $f^{'}(x)=\frac{15}{2+5x}(\ln x)^{-1}-3\ln(2+5x)(\ln x)^{-2}\frac{1}{x}$
