Here is a similar, but probably different example done out for you:
Suppose your problem was
dx |
(3x2-4) 3 |
The chain rule above states:
dx |
u3 | = | 3u2 | dx |
Therefore,
dx |
(3x2-4)3 | = | 3(3x2-4)2 | dx |
(3x2-4) |
= | 3(3x2-4)2 | 6x | |||
= | 18x (3x2-4)2. |
Using the Verbal Form of the Chain Rule
The verbal form of the chain rule above states:
That is,
If you now write this in symbols, you get the same answer as above.
Now try the example you were given.
