How do you differentiate #3(x^2-2)^4#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Ahmed A. Apr 6, 2018 #(dz)/(dx)=24x(x^2-2)^3# Explanation: #u=x^2-2# #z=3(u)^4# #u=x^2-2# #(du)/dx=2x# #Z=3(u)^4# #(dz)/(du)=12u^3# we need #(dz)/(dx)# #(du)/dxxx(dz)/(du)# #(dz)/(dx)=24x(x^2-2)^3# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
