Find dy du , du dx , and dy dx .

(a) y = u5 and u = x2 + 1 dy du = du dx = dy dx =

(b) y = u4 and u = 4x2 − x + 6 dy du = du dx = dy dx =

a) , ,  

b) , ,  

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the chain rule in the following form: is u=u(x) is a differentiable function depending on x and y=y(u) is a differentiable function depending on u, then .

a) from the power rule.  

.

From the previous parts and the chain rule,  

b)  

from the power and sum rules.

Then,  

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
