derivative. We  get f(x)     =   =   .   Now     we  can     take    the

derivative  of  each    term.   We  get f′(x)   =   3x^2    +       +   1   −   (−3)x−4 =   3x^2    +       +   1   +    .  As  we

can see,    the second  method  is  a   little  quicker,    and they    both    give    the same    result.

Here    we  will    find    the derivative  using   the Chain   Rule.   We  will    also    need    the Quotient    Rule    to

take    the derivative  of  the expression  inside  the parentheses.    The Chain   Rule    says    that    if  y   =

f(g(x)),    then    y′   =   ,   and     the     Quotient    Rule    says    that    if f(x)     =   ,   then   f(x)     =  

. We get f′(x) = 4 . This can be simplified to f′(x) = 4

Here    we  will    find    the derivative  using   the Chain   Rule.   The Chain   Rule    says    that    if  y   =   f(g(x)),

then    y′  =    .  We  get f′(x)   =   100(x^2     +   x)^99 (2x   +   1).
