Question 374974: Evening Everyone.
Been a while since i attempeted anything like this and trying to brush up a little, i have attempted to anser the first two parts if somebody would be so kind as to check them and assist on the third part

Use the chain rule to find the derivatives of the following functions:
(a) y = e^-x2
I Got = -2e^(-x^2)
(b) y = cos(3x^2 + 2x)
I Got = (-Sin).(3x^2+2x).(6x+2)
(c) y = sin^2(3x^2 - 1)
Thank You in antiscipation

a)

Let , then





Hence:



Part b you got spot on.

Part c just requires you to extend the chain rule, which can be done indefinately. So, instead of



you need to use:



For:



Let , hence

Let , hence

And , hence

Putting it all together:



By the way, the rule is one question per post. I let you slide because you had attempted two of your three problems.
