Find dy/dx when y=(3x-1)^10

We have to use the chain rule in this instance to find the differentiated value y=(3x-1)^10 suppose y=u^10 thus, dy/du = 10u^9 secondly: u=3x-1 du/dx=3 the chain rule suggests that dy/dx = du/dx *dy/du so that du cancels out Therefore, dy/dx = 10(3x-1)^9 * (3)Simplified, dy/dx = 30(3x-1)^9

How would I prepare for my Maths exams so that I get the best grade possible?


Can you give an example of using the chain rule for differentiation? Example: Let y=(6 + 2x + 2x^2)^3, find dy/dx.


Differentiate y = 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 3 with respect to x.


y=e^(2x) - x^3. Find dy/dx. (please note this is "e to the power of 2x, minus x cubed")
