Differentiate y = (3x − 2)^4

We recognise that this is in the form of a function within a function, i.e u= 3x - 2 is within the u^4 function, therefore here we will use the chan rule to differentiate the equation. The chain rule states ...

Rearrange the formula to make 'y' the subject: x = (1 - 2y)/(3 +4y)

Ok so we need to get 'y' by itself on the left hand side of equal sign. We will first try to remove the denominator by multiplying 'x' by (3+4y). This gives (3+4y)x = 1 - 2y. We will then expand the brackets...
