I think I mentioned before that your lecturer was using an older/alternative style of notation for ln (which is not used at Singapore-Cambridge O or A levels)

Anyway,

ln³ 5x just means (ln 5x)³, so we differentiate like how we do usually, using the chain rule.

i.e bring the power down, subtract one from the power and then multiply by the derivative of the inside term.

d/dx [f(x)]ⁿ = n · [f(x)]ⁿ-¹ · f'(x)


y = ln³ 5x = (ln 5x)³


dy/dx = 3 (ln 5x)² (5/5x)

= 3 (ln 5x)² / x

(Or 3ln²5x / x , as used in your lecturer's notation)
