▼
Let's solve each of these derivative problems step by step. We'll use rules of differentiation, especially the chain rule, product rule, and derivative of logarithmic functions.

---

Question 1:


Given: $ y = \ln(\cos x) $, find $ y' $

We apply the chain rule:
$$
y' = \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(\cos x)] = \frac{1}{\cos x} \cdot (-\sin x) = -\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = -\tan x
$$

✔ Answer: C) $-\tan x$

---

Question 2:


Given: $ y = (\ln(5x))^3 $, find $ y' $

Use chain rule:
Let $ u = \ln(5x) $, so $ y = u^3 $. Then:
$$
y' = 3u^2 \cdot u'
$$
Now compute $ u' = \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(5x)] = \frac{1}{5x} \cdot 5 = \frac{1}{x} $

So:
$$
y' = 3(\ln(5x))^2 \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \frac{3(\ln(5x))^2}{x}
$$

✔ Answer: B) $ \frac{3(\ln(5x))^2}{x} $

---

Question 3:


Given: $ y = 3x^2 \ln(4x - 5) $, find $ y' $

Use product rule:
Let $ u = 3x^2 $, $ v = \ln(4x - 5) $

Then:
$$
y' = u'v + uv'
$$
- $ u' = 6x $
- $ v' = \frac{1}{4x - 5} \cdot 4 = \frac{4}{4x - 5} $

So:
$$
y' = 6x \cdot \ln(4x - 5) + 3x^2 \cdot \frac{4}{4x - 5} = 6x \ln(4x - 5) + \frac{12x^2}{4x - 5}
$$

✔ Answer: A) $ 6x \ln(4x - 5) + \frac{12x^2}{4x - 5} $

---

Question 4:


Given: $ y = \ln(\ln(\sin x)) $, find $ y' $

Apply chain rule twice:

Let $ u = \ln(\sin x) $, then $ y = \ln(u) $, so:
$$
y' = \frac{1}{u} \cdot u' = \frac{1}{\ln(\sin x)} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(\sin x)]
$$

Now compute $ \frac{d}{dx}[\ln(\sin x)] = \frac{1}{\sin x} \cdot \cos x = \cot x $

So:
$$
y' = \frac{\cot x}{\ln(\sin x)}
$$

✔ Answer: C) $ \frac{\cot x}{\ln(\sin x)} $

---

Question 5:


Given: $ y = \sqrt{1 + \log x} $, find $ y' $

Note: $ \log x $ usually means $ \log_{10} x $, but in calculus, sometimes it’s natural log — but here we assume $ \log x = \log_{10} x $, so:
$$
\log_{10} x = \frac{\ln x}{\ln 10}
$$

So:
$$
y = (1 + \log_{10} x)^{1/2} = \left(1 + \frac{\ln x}{\ln 10}\right)^{1/2}
$$

Differentiate using chain rule:
$$
y' = \frac{1}{2}(1 + \log_{10} x)^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[\log_{10} x]
$$

We know:
$$
\frac{d}{dx}[\log_{10} x] = \frac{1}{x \ln 10}
$$

So:
$$
y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 + \log x}} \cdot \frac{1}{x \ln 10} = \frac{1}{2x \ln 10 \cdot \sqrt{1 + \log x}}
$$

Now look at options:

- D) $ \frac{1}{2 \ln 10 \cdot \sqrt{1 + \log x} \cdot x} $ → same as above!

✔ Answer: D)

> Note: Option C has $ \ln 10 \sqrt{1 + \log x} $ in denominator, but not multiplied by $ x $ — incorrect. So D is correct.

---

Question 6:


Given: $ y = (3x - 5)\ln(2x) $, find $ y' $

Product rule again:
Let $ u = 3x - 5 $, $ v = \ln(2x) $

Then:
- $ u' = 3 $
- $ v' = \frac{1}{2x} \cdot 2 = \frac{1}{x} $

So:
$$
y' = u'v + uv' = 3 \cdot \ln(2x) + (3x - 5) \cdot \frac{1}{x}
= 3\ln(2x) + \frac{3x - 5}{x}
$$

Simplify:
$$
= 3\ln(2x) + 3 - \frac{5}{x}
$$

But since the question didn’t give options, we can't choose, but this is the derivative.

Wait — the image cuts off, but perhaps the next line says “then $ y' = $” and gives choices.

But based on what's visible, no options are shown for Q6.

However, if we had to write the answer:
$$
y' = 3\ln(2x) + \frac{3x - 5}{x}
$$

Or simplified:
$$
y' = 3\ln(2x) + 3 - \frac{5}{x}
$$
