Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{3}{3x-4}-\frac{1}{x-9}$

Work Step by Step

Apply the Product and Quotient Rules for logarithms, $r(x)=\ln|-x+1|+\ln|3x-4\}-\ln|x-9|$ ... $|-x+1|=|-(x-1)|=|x-1|$ $r(x)=\ln|x-1|+\ln|3x-4\}-\ln|x-9|$ Apply $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\ln|u|]=\frac{1}{u}\cdot\frac{du}{dx}$ $r^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x-1}+\frac{3}{3x-4}-\frac{1}{x-9}$
