Answer

\[{y^,} = \frac{{8x}}{{\ln 3\,\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} y = 4\ln \left( 3 \right)\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Differentiate{\text{ }}Use\,\,\frac{d}{{dx}}\,\,\left[ {\ln u} \right] = \frac{{{u^,}}}{u} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {y^,} = 4\,\left( {\frac{1}{{\ln \,\left( 3 \right)\,\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)}}} \right)\,{\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)^,} \hfill \\ \hfill \\ then \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {y^,} = 4\,\left( {\frac{1}{{\ln 3\,\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)}}} \right)\,\left( {2x} \right) \hfill \\ \hfill \\ Simplify \hfill \\ \hfill \\ {y^,} = \frac{{8x}}{{\ln 3\,\left( {{x^2} - 1} \right)}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
