How do you differentiate #f(x) = sqrt(sin^3(4-x) # using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer James May 13, 2018 the answer #dy/dx=[-3*sin^2(4-x)*cos(4-x)]/(2sqrt(sin^3(4-x)))# Explanation: show below #y= sqrt(sin^3(4-x)# let suppose: #u=4-x# #(du)/dx=-1# #r=sin^3(u)# #(dr)/(du)=3*sin^2u*cosu# #y=sqrtr# #dy/(dr)=1/(2sqrtr)# #dy/dx=(du)/dx*(dr)/(du)*dy/(dr)# #dy/dx=-1*3*sin^2u*cosu*1/(2sqrtr)# #dy/dx=[-3*sin^2u*cosu]/(2sqrtr)# #dy/dx=[-3*sin^2(4-x)*cos(4-x)]/(2sqrt(sin^3(4-x)))# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
