    y'=(1/(3x tanx)(ln6))(3 tanx + 3x sec^2 x)

    y'=(3(tanx + x sec^2 x) / (3(x tanx ln6))

    y'=(tanx+x sec^2 x)/(x tanx ln6)

    because:

    d/dx(log(b)x)=(1/x lnb)*d/dx(x)

    d/dx(ab)=d/dx(a)b+d/dx(b)a

    d/dx(tanx)=sec^2 x

    y' = log 6 ( (3x) (secxtanx) + (3x tanx) (3)) + (3x tanx) ( 10 ln 6) < product rule within the product rule inside. >
