I got choice A as my answer

OpenStudy (phi):

no. it is not A. you must use the chain rule d u^n is n* u^(n-1) * du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on let me redo it

OpenStudy (phi):

so you should get \[ 4 (2x^2+1)^3 \cdot d ( 2x^2 + 1) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got choice E as the final answer correct?

OpenStudy (phi):

as posted up above it is \[ 4 (2x^2+1)^3 \cdot \frac{d}{dx} ( 2x^2 + 1) \] what is \[ \frac{d}{dx} ( 2x^2 + 1) \]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is choice c the answer I just redid it again

OpenStudy (phi):

yes \[ \frac{d}{dx} ( 2x^2 + 1) = 2 \frac{d}{dx} x^2 + \frac{d}{dx}1 = 2 \cdot 2 x +0= 4x\] so the answer is \[ 4 (2x^2+1)^3 \cdot \frac{d}{dx} ( 2x^2 + 1) = 4 (2x^2+1)^3 \cdot 4x \\ =16x(2x^2+1)^3 \]

ok thanks
