Assignment #3

We can use the chain rule in order to solve the problem f(x)=(3x+1)^2. The derivative turns out to be f '(x)=6(3x+1). In order to use the chain rule you must multiply the function by two and subtract one from the exponent. In the beginning it becomes 2(3x+1), then you must determine the derivative of whats inside, which is 3. You must then multiply the function 2(3x+1) by 3 becoming 6(3x+1).
