y= x(2x+1)^3 find derivate.
derivative?
derivative
Do you know the product rule? Do you know the chain rule?
I can explain them if you don't.
yes , I need help
Product rule is used when you are taking the derivative of two things multiplied together. The rule says this: The derivative of a*b is a'*b + b'*a
yes, I know
Haha that's why I asked if you knew.
You know chain rule?
the problem is i can't the answer
derivative of f(g(x)) is f'(g(x))*g'(x)
In this case, the two things multiplied together are x and (2x+1)^3 So product rule tells me the derivative will be (derivative of x) * (2x+1)^3 + (derivative of (2x+1)^3)*x
Do you know derivative of x?
is 1
And can you take the derivative of (2x+1)^3? It requires chain rule.
is 6(2x+1)^2
nicely done.
So product rule is all you need now.
but, I don't know the other value (8x+1)
? What.
Just do product rule (Derivative of 1st thing) *(second thing) + (Derivative of second thing)*(first thing) You've taken the derivative of x and you've taken the derivative of (2x+1)^3, so you have everything you need.
