Question

Find the derivative of the function.
f(t) = √(8 – 3t)
f '(t) =

Answer 1

what do you do when the outside function is = √x?

Answer 2

Use the chain rule.\[\frac {d}{dx} u^{n} = n u^{n-1} \frac {du}{dx}\]In your case, \[u = 8 - 3t\]

Answer 3

i am very confused on how to use the chain rule...

Answer 4

the notation is killing me. what does the chain rule do in words?

Answer 5

what trips me up in class is the notation, then i get lost and it al becomes a big jumbled mess
