dydx=3ln10103x4

Explanation:

y=103x4

lny=(3x4)ln10

1ydydx=ln10ddx(3x4) [Implicit differentiation and standard differential]

1ydydx=ln10(30) [Power rule]

dydx=3ln10y

=3ln10103x4

A few additional observations

Explanation:

Notice that 103x4=103x104
So that 103x4=1000x10000
Therefore if y=103x4 then y=1000x10000

This gives us dydx=(110000)1000xln(1000).
If we wish to simplify ln(1000), we have
dydx=(3ln1010000)1000x.

This answer is equal to the one given in the original response.
