Find dy/dx when y = (3x-1)^10
- First the power will be taken into account: multiply by 10 and take one away from the power:
y = 10(3x-1)^9
2) Then we will differentiate what is in the brackets and multiply it by step 1:
y = (3x-1)dy/dx = 3
10(3x-1)^9 multiplied by 3
Therefore the answer is:
30(3x-1)^9
