Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{2x+1}{x\ln 3(x+1)}$

Work Step by Step

Apply $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\log_{b}u]=\frac{\mathrm{l}}{u\ln b}\frac{du}{dx} \quad $(see p. 836) $u(x)=x^{2}+x,$ $\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=2x+1.$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[\log_{3}(x^{2}+x)]=\frac{\mathrm{l}}{(x^{2}+x)\ln 3}\cdot(2x+1)$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2x+1}{(x^{2}+x)\ln 3}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2x+1}{x\ln 3(x+1)}$
