What is the derivative of #(4x)^3 * (2x)^6#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Bdub Nov 1, 2016 #y'=36864x^8# Explanation: #y=(4x)^3(2x)^6# #y=4^3 x^3*2^6 x^6# #y=4096x^9# #y'=36864x^8# OR Use product rule and chain rule #f=(4x)^3, g=(2x)^6# #f'=3(4x)^2 *4, g'=6(2x)^5*2# #y'=fg'+gf'# #y'=12(4x)^3(2x^5)+12(4x)^2(2x)^6# #y'=12*4^3x^3*2^5x^5+12*4^2x^2*2^6x^6# #y'=24576x^8+12288x^8=36864x^8# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
