Re: Chain ruleIt should be (4-x^2)^3(Original post by 0range)
Differentiate w.r.t x
(2+x)^3(2-x)^3
i firstly made them into one
so I got
(4-x^2)^6

did the chain rule the long way and got
-12(4-x^2)^5
but the answer when I checked on wolframalpha is
-6x(x^2-4)^2
I think I went wrong with the indices part but not sure why it was wrong :s
