Question

How would you do the chain rule on this equation: g(z)=(z^7+(z^2-1)^-3)

Answer 1

it's just the derivative of z^7 + \[f \prime(g(x)) * g \prime(x)\]

Answer 2

where g(x) is the inner function and f(x) is the outer function

Answer 4

How do you pull it apart is really what I mean to ask because for some reason I cannot get the f(x) right.

Answer 5

f(x) is Just x^-3

Answer 6

So my answer would be -3[(z^7+(z^2-1)^3]^-4[7z^6+6z(z^2-1)^2]

Answer 7

are you raising everything to the -3 or just z^2-1?

Answer 8

I think everything because it looks like this
