How do you differentiate #f(x)=tan(1-3x^2) # using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Jim G. Jan 10, 2016 #(-6x)sec^2(1 - 3x^2 )# Explanation: applying the chain rule as follows : #f'(x) = sec^2(1 - 3x^2).d/dx(1 - 3x^2 ) # #f'(x) = sec^2(1 - 3x^2).(- 6x )# #rArr f'(x) =(-6x)sec^2(1 - 3x^2 ) # Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
