Identify function: Identify the function to differentiate. The function is y=(1βx)2(2x+3).
Recognize product functions: Recognize that the function is a product of two functions, u(x)=(1βx)2 and v(x)=(2x+3). We will need to use the product rule to differentiate y.
Apply product rule: Apply the product rule. The product rule states that the derivative of a product of two functions is the first function times the derivative of the second function plus the second function times the derivative of the first function. In formula terms, if y=u(x)v(x), then yβ²=uβ²(x)v(x)+u(x)vβ²(x).
Differentiate u(x): Differentiate the first function, u(x)=(1βx)2. Using the chain rule, the derivative of u(x) is 2(1βx)(β1), which simplifies to β2(1βx).
Differentiate v(x): Differentiate the second function, v(x)=(2x+3). The derivative of v(x) is 2.
Apply product rule derivatives: Apply the product rule using the derivatives from steps 4 and 5. So, yβ²=uβ²(x)v(x)+u(x)vβ²(x)=β2(1βx)(2x+3)+(1βx)2(2).
Simplify derivative expression: Simplify the expression for the derivative. yβ²=β4(1βx)(x+23β)+2(1βx)2.
Expand and combine terms: Expand and combine like terms to get the final derivative. yβ²=β4xβ6+4x2+6x+2β4x+2x2.
Combine like terms: Combine like terms to get the final simplified derivative. yβ²=6x2+2xβ4.
