2.6: Logarithmic function and approximate change in x

0606/21/M/J/18 — Question 2 · 5 marks

The variables xx and yy are such that y=ln(3x1)y = \ln(3x - 1) for x>13x > \tfrac{1}{3}.
(i)
Find dydx\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}.
[2]
(ii)
Hence find the approximate change in xx when yy increases from ln1.2\ln 1.2 to ln1.2+0.125\ln 1.2 + 0.125.
