How do you find the derivative of # ln(x^3)#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer GiĆ³ Aug 22, 2016 I found #3/x# using the Chain Rule. Explanation: I would use the Chain Rule, deriving the#ln# first (blue) and then multiplying by the derivative of the argument (red) to get: #y'=color(blue)(1/x^3)*color(red)(3x^2)=3/x# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
