How do you use the chain rule to differentiate #y=(x^3+3)^5#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Narad T. Oct 19, 2016 #dy/dx=5(x^3+3)^4(3x^2)# Explanation: Let #y=u^n(x)# So #dy/dx=n*u^(n-1)(x)*u'(x)# so applying this #dy/dx=5(x^3+3)^4(3x^2)# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
