If the solve the problem

Question: If $y=x^{3} \log x$, prove that $\frac{d^{4} y}{d x^{4}}=\frac{6}{x}$ Solution: Basic idea: $\sqrt{S e c o n d}$ order derivative is nothing but derivative of derivative i.e. $\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)$ $\sqrt{T h e}$ idea of chain rule of differentiation: If $\mathrm{f}$ is any real-valued function which is the composition of two functions $u$ and $v$, i.e. $f=v(u(x))$. For the sake of simplicity just assume $t=u(x)$ Then $f=v(t)$. By chain rule...
