Simplify Function: First, simplify the function before taking the derivative.y=(3x318x3−5)4Simplify the fraction inside the parentheses by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3x3.y=(3x36x3−3x35)4y=(2−3x35)4Now the function is simplified.
Apply Chain Rule: Next, apply the chain rule to find the derivative of y with respect to x. The chain rule states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function times the derivative of the inner function.Let u=2−35x3, then y=u4.First, find the derivative of y with respect to u, which is dudy=4u3.
Find u with respect to x: Now, find the derivative of u with respect to x, dxdu. u=2−(35x3) dxdu=0−(−5⋅3x−4) dxdu=15x−4
Apply Chain Rule: Now, apply the chain rule by multiplying dudy by dxdu to get dxdy. dxdy=dudy×dxdu dxdy=4u3×15x−4 Substitute u back into the equation. dxdy=4(2−3x35)3×15x−4
Simplify Derivative: Finally, simplify the derivative expression.dxdy=60x−4(2−3x35)3This is the derivative of the function y with respect to x.
