I'm stuck on this (Chain Rule!!) Differentiation problem: \(\ \Huge \frac{1}{(t^4+1)^3} .\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would make it a negative exponent.

|dw:1352344215249:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you do it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the hint, @Dido525!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welcome :) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me know what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\ \Huge \text{Okay. We're both 63 :)} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

63?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\ \text{Not age, of course (though I have no way of knowing...); I was referring to SmartScore.} \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SmartScore*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\ \large \text{Okay, so I got: }\) \(\ \Huge -3(t^4+1)^{-4}+4t^3, \) \(\ \Large\text{Is that correct?} \)

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

Close, but that is not correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Babyslapmafro \(\ \Large\text{Where did I go wrong?} \)

OpenStudy (babyslapmafro):

You must multiply the derivative of the outside by the derivative of the inside, you added the two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You must multiply not add.
