Assessment: JAMB UTME - Mathematics - 2010 Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

If \( y = (2x + 1)^3 \), find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \)

Answer Details
If y = (2x + 1)3, then
Let u = 2x + 1 so that, y = u3
d y d u  = 3u2 and  d y d x  = 2
Hence by the chain rule,
d y d x  =  d y d u  x  d u d x
= 3u2 x 2
= 6u2
= 6(2x + 1)2
