Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If y = (2x + 1)^3, find dy/dx.
Correct Answer: 6(2x + 1)^2
  • Step 1: Identify the function y = (2x + 1)^3.
  • Step 2: Recognize that we need to use the chain rule to find dy/dx.
  • Step 3: The chain rule states that if you have a function of a function, you take the derivative of the outer function and multiply it by the derivative of the inner function.
  • Step 4: The outer function is u^3 where u = (2x + 1). The derivative of u^3 is 3u^2.
  • Step 5: Now, find the derivative of the inner function u = (2x + 1). The derivative of (2x + 1) is 2.
  • Step 6: Combine the results from Step 4 and Step 5: dy/dx = 3(2x + 1)^2 * 2.
  • Step 7: Simplify the expression: dy/dx = 6(2x + 1)^2.
  • Chain Rule – The chain rule is a fundamental differentiation technique used to differentiate composite functions.
  • Power Rule – The power rule is used to differentiate functions of the form x^n, where n is a constant.
