Answer

$v^{\prime}(x)=2 \cdot 3^{2x+1} \ln (3)+3 \cdot e^{3x+1}$

Work Step by Step

We have: $v(x)=3^{2x+1}+e^{3x+1}$ We differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $v^{\prime}(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}[3^{2x+1}]+\dfrac{d}{dx}[e^{3x+1}]$ Use rule: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[a^{u}]=a^u \ln (a) \frac{du}{dx}$ Now, $v^{\prime}(x)=2 \cdot 3^{2x+1} \ln (3)+(3) e^{3x+1}$ So, $v^{\prime}(x)=2 \cdot 3^{2x+1} \ln (3)+3 \cdot e^{3x+1}$
