1. **Problem:** Find the derivative of $f(x) = e^{3x}$.
2. **Formula:** The derivative of $e^{u(x)}$ is $e^{u(x)} \cdot u'(x)$.
3. **Step:** Here, $u(x) = 3x$, so $u'(x) = 3$.
4. **Derivative:** $$f'(x) = e^{3x} \cdot 3 = 3e^{3x}$$

1. **Problem:** Find the derivative of $f(x) = e^{2x+5}$.
2. **Formula:** The derivative of $e^{u(x)}$ is $e^{u(x)} \cdot u'(x)$.
3. **Step:** Here, $u(x) = 2x + 5$, so $u'(x) = 2$.
4. **Derivative:** $$f'(x) = e^{2x+5} \cdot 2 = 2e^{2x+5}$$

1. **Problem:** Find the derivative of $f(x) = \log_{10}(3x) + 7$.
2. **Formula:** The derivative of $\log_a(x)$ is $\frac{1}{x \ln(a)}$.
3. **Step:** For $\log_{10}(3x)$, use chain rule: derivative is $\frac{1}{3x \ln(10)} \cdot 3 = \frac{3}{3x \ln(10)}$.
4. **Simplify:** $$\frac{3}{3x \ln(10)} = \frac{1}{x \ln(10)}$$
5. **Derivative:** The constant 7 derivative is 0, so
$$f'(x) = \frac{1}{x \ln(10)}$$

1. **Problem:** Find the derivative of $f(x) = \ln\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{x^3 + 3x + 4}}\right)$.
2. **Rewrite:** $$f(x) = \ln(3) - \ln\left((x^3 + 3x + 4)^{1/2}\right) = \ln(3) - \frac{1}{2} \ln(x^3 + 3x + 4)$$
3. **Derivative:** Derivative of $\ln(3)$ is 0.
4. **Use chain rule:** $$f'(x) = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^3 + 3x + 4} \cdot (3x^2 + 3)$$
5. **Simplify:** $$f'(x) = -\frac{3x^2 + 3}{2(x^3 + 3x + 4)}$$

1. **Problem:** Find the derivative of $f(x) = \ln\left(e^{4x^3 + 3x^2 + 2}\right)$.
2. **Simplify:** $$f(x) = 4x^3 + 3x^2 + 2$$ because $\ln(e^u) = u$.
