Homework Statement
y = (tan^-1(6x))^2
Homework Equations
Chain Rule, power rule?
The Attempt at a Solution
Okay, so I did power rule to bring it to 2(tan^-1(6x))
Then, I know to use the chain rule...
I get 2(tan^-1(6x)*(1/1+x^2)... I know u = 6x so I play 6 into x^2 and I get 6x^2...
I see everyone else has gotten 36x^2 on the bottom and I have no idea why, can someone please explain this problem IN DETAIL to me because for all the chain rule problems relevant to one like this, it just skips the algebraic steps which I need to know in this...
