Answer

$$y'=\frac{1-\theta}{\theta}$$

Work Step by Step

$$y=\ln(3\theta e^{-\theta})$$ We have $$(\ln \theta)'=\frac{1}{\theta}$$ $$(e^{\theta})'=e^\theta$$ So the derivative of $y$ is $$y'=\frac{1}{3\theta e^{-\theta}}(3\theta e^{-\theta})'=\frac{3(e^{-\theta}+\theta e^{-\theta}(-\theta)')}{3\theta e^{-\theta}}$$ $$y'=\frac{e^{-\theta}-\theta e^{-\theta}}{\theta e^{-\theta}}=\frac{e^{-\theta}(1-\theta)}{\theta e^{-\theta}}$$ $$y'=\frac{1-\theta}{\theta}$$
