  • The chain rule can be a tricky rule in calculus, but if you can identify your outside and inside function you'll be on your way to doing derivatives like a pro! Remember to put the inside function into the derivative of the outside function, then multiply by the derivative of the inside.

      @ewinter9021 Před 5 lety +1

      Yeah because of exponent rules. To get a neg exponent to turn positive, you can divide by it. Like x^(-2) is the same as 1/(x^2). We only do this so we have positive exponents in our final answer. (For anyone confused)

    I hope you all the best and I hope you good health . what is the derivative of y with respect to x for y= (x3+2x2+x)^3 ?
    I suggest these steps to find dy by dx
    1. bring down the power in the front of the bracket as a multiplier.
    or bring down the power to the front of the bracket as a multiplier. it is better to put the preposition (in) or (to) in the above sentence .
    2. reduce the power by one
    3. multiply the derivative of the inside function.
    dy/dx = 3 (x3+2x2+x)^2 (3x2+4x+1)
    Would you please recommend and advise me what are the best method to find dy by dx ?

    @mattmun12 He multiplied the 5 by the 1/2, but since the (5x-3) had a -1/2 exponent, the square root of 5x-3 went on the bottom and was multiplied by the 2 on the bottom. The 5 went on the top.
