Find dy/dx when y = (3x-1)^10

  1. First the power will be taken into account: multiply by 10 and take one away from the power:
    y = 10(3x-1)^9
    2) Then we will differentiate what is in the brackets and multiply it by step 1:
    y = (3x-1)dy/dx = 3
    10(3x-1)^9 multiplied by 3
    Therefore the answer is:
    30(3x-1)^9
