Answer

$$ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3}{\big(x^2+1\big)^{3/2}}$$

Work Step by Step

Step-1: Differentiate the following equation with respect to $x$, $$y = \frac{3x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$$ ,we get, $$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\big(\sqrt{x^2+1}\big)\frac{d}{dx}(3x)-(3x)\frac{d}{dx}\big(\sqrt{x^2+1}\big)}{\big(\sqrt{x^2+1}\big)^2}$$ $$\implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3\big(\sqrt{x^2+1}\big)-(3x)\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}{x^2+1}$$ Step-2: Simplify the above the equation, $$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{3x^2+3-3x^2}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}}{x^2+1}$$ $$\implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3}{\big(x^2+1\big)^{3/2}}$$
