Your Input

Find $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u \ln\left(a\right)\right)$$$.

Solution

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(c f{\left(u \right)}\right) = c \frac{d}{du} \left(f{\left(u \right)}\right)$$$ with $$$c = \ln\left(a\right)$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u \ln\left(a\right)\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\ln\left(a\right) \frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u^{n}\right) = n u^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 1$$$, in other words, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right) = 1$$$:

$$\ln\left(a\right) {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{du} \left(u\right)\right)} = \ln\left(a\right) {\color{red}\left(1\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u \ln\left(a\right)\right) = \ln\left(a\right)$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{du} \left(u \ln\left(a\right)\right) = \ln\left(a\right)$$$A
