How do you differentiate #f(x)=(2x+3)^4 / x# using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Abhinav T. Jul 21, 2016 #d/dx (f(x)) = d/dx ((2x+3)^4/x)# Or, #f'(x) = 1/x * d/(d(2x+3)) (2x+3)^4* d/dx (2x+3) + (2x+3)^4 d/dx (1/x)# #=1/x * 4 (2x+3)^3 * 2- (2x+3)^4/x^2# #=(8x (2x+3)^3-(2x+3)^4)/x^2# #=(2x+3)^3(8x-2x-3)/x^2# #= 3 (2x+3)^3 * (2x -1) / x^2# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
