How do you find the derivative of #(x^2-1)^3#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer GiĆ³ Jul 6, 2015 I found: #6x(x^2-1)^2# Explanation: I would use the Chain Rule to derive #()^3# first and then multiply times the derivative of the argument and get: #y'=3(x^2-1)^2*2x=6x(x^2-1)^2# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
