Q. Finding a Derivative of the function.9. y=(2x−7)3
Identify Function: Identify the function to differentiate. The function is y=(2x−7)3.
Find Derivative of Inner Function: Find the derivative of the inner function, u(x)=2x−7. The derivative of u(x) is 2.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule. The chain rule states that the derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function times the derivative of the inner function. So, the derivative of y=(2x−7)3 is 3⋅(2x−7)2⋅2.
Simplify Derivative Expression: Simplify the derivative expression. The derivative of y=(2x−7)3 is y′(x) = 6⋅(2x−7)2.
