Explanation:
differentiate using the
color(blue)" chain rule"
d/dx[f(g(x))]=f'(g(x)).g'(x)color(red)" (A)"
"-------------------------------------------"
f(g(x))=sin(1/(3x-1))rArrf'(g(x))=cos(1/(3x-1)) and
g(x)=1/(3x-1)=(3x-1)^-1
rArrg'(x)=-1(3x-1)^-2 .3=-3(3x-1)^-2=(-3)/(3x-1)^2
"-----------------------------------------------------"
Substitute these values intocolor(red)" (A)"
f'(x)=cos(1/(3x-1))xx(-3)/(3x-1)^2=(-3cos(1/(3x-1)))/(3x-1)^2
