Question:
Differentiate the following with respect to x:
$\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{4}$
Solution:
To Find: Differentiation
NOTE : When 2 functions are in the product then we used product rule i.e
$\frac{d(u, v)}{d x}=v \frac{d u}{d x}+u \frac{d v}{d x}$
Formula used: $\frac{d}{d x}\left(y^{n}\right)=n y^{n-1} \times \frac{d y}{d x}$
Let us take $y=\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{4}$
So, by using the above formula, we have
$\frac{d}{d x}\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{4}=4\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{3} \times \frac{d}{d x}\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)=4\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{3} \times(3 \times 6 x-1)$
$=4\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{3}(6 x-1)$
Differentiation of $y=\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{4}$ is $4\left(3 x^{2}-x+1\right)^{3}(6 x-1)$
