#(6x)/(x^2+1)#

Explanation:

You need to know two major things for this:
1. Chain rule
2. The derivative of #ln(x)# is #1/x#
when you take the derivative you will get
#3*1/(x^2+1)*# the derivative of #x^2+1# (because of chain rule)
so it's #3*1/(x^2+1)*2x#
= #(6x)/(x^2+1)#

#(6x)/(x^2+1)#

Explanation:

#"differentiate using the "color(blue)"chain rule"#

#"given "y=f(g(x))" then"#

#dy/dx=f'(g(x))xxg'(x)larrcolor(blue)"chain rule"#

#d/dx(3ln(x^2+1))#

#=3xx1/(x^2+1)xxd/dx(x^2+1)#

#=3/(x^2+1)xx2x=(6x)/(x^2+1)#
