I need some help with the chain rule...Thank you for helping me:)
Question: G(y)=((x-1)^4)/(((x^2)+2*x))^7

I have no idea where to start.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you mean
[tex]\frac{(x-1)^4}{(x^2 + 2x)^7}[/tex]?

If so, you need to apply the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule" first, and then apply the chain rule as necessary.
