Before you Differentiate, simplify the expression by changing the cube root to index form followed by using the Logarithm Law
Next use the Logarithm Law 
![\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{3}\left[ {\ln (3x-1)-\ln x+5)} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cdisplaystyle+y%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Cleft%5B+%7B%5Cln+%283x-1%29-%5Cln+x%2B5%29%7D+%5Cright%5D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0 "\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{3}\left[ {\ln (3x-1)-\ln x+5)} \right]")
![\displaystyle \frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\frac{1}{3}\left[ {\frac{1}{{3x-1}}\times 3-\frac{1}{{x+5}}\times 1} \right]](http://s0.wp.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cdisplaystyle+%5Cfrac%7B%7Bdy%7D%7D%7B%7Bdx%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%5Cleft%5B+%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%7B3x-1%7D%7D%5Ctimes+3-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%7Bx%2B5%7D%7D%5Ctimes+1%7D+%5Cright%5D&bg=ffffff&fg=000&s=0 "\displaystyle \frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\frac{1}{3}\left[ {\frac{1}{{3x-1}}\times 3-\frac{1}{{x+5}}\times 1} \right]")

As I said before in the previous post regarding the differentiation of log, It is easier to simplify the expression using law of logarithm before differentiation as you need fewer steps and you will less likely to make mistakes.
