Problem 2.1145 · hard Beautiful
Differentiate \( \displaystyle f(x) = \ln{\left(\frac{\pi e^{- 3 x}}{4} \right)} \).
- \[ \frac{d}{d x} \ln{\left(\frac{\pi e^{- 3 x}}{4} \right)} \]derivativeStart with the derivative of the function.✓ Proved
- \[ = \frac{d}{d x} \left(- 3 x + \ln{\left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)}\right) \]algebra algebraUse the logarithm product and quotient rules to split the terms. Simplify the logarithm of the exponential term.✓ Proved
- \[ = - \frac{d}{d x} 3 x + \frac{d}{d x} \ln{\left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)} \]sumSplit the derivative into two parts.✓ Proved
- \[ = - \frac{d}{d x} 3 x \]constantThe derivative of a constant is zero.✓ Proved
- \[ = -3 \]derivativeThe derivative of 3*x is 3.✓ Proved

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
gemma4:26b, checked 2026-09-28 with SymPy 1.14.0.
