Questions: Determine the derivative of the function g(x) = ln(sqrt[3]((x+9)/(x-9))).
Transcript text: Determine the derivative of the function $g(x)=\ln \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{x+9}{x-9}}\right)$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Simplifying the Function
We start with the function \( g(x) = \ln \left(\sqrt[3]{\frac{x+9}{x-9}}\right) \). Using the property of logarithms, we can rewrite this as:
\[
g(x) = \frac{1}{3} \ln \left(\frac{x+9}{x-9}\right)
\]
Step 2: Differentiating the Function
Next, we differentiate \( g(x) \) using the chain rule. The derivative is given by:
\[
g^{\prime}(x) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{(x - 9) \cdot \left( \frac{1}{x - 9} - \frac{x + 9}{(x - 9)^2} \right)}{(x + 9)}
\]
Step 3: Simplifying the Derivative
After simplification, we find that:
\[
g^{\prime}(x) = \frac{-6.0}{x^2 - 81.0}
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the derivative of the function is:
\[
\boxed{g^{\prime}(x) = \frac{-6.0}{x^2 - 81.0}}
\]
