THANKS A LOT!
could you help me with these three as well ive tried thousand times nd i dont seem to be getting the right answer
thank you
differentiate
y=sin(root 3x+1)
y=(ln(root x))^2
y=e^root 6x

thanks again

Are you familiar with the chain rule? All of these questions can be completed using it along with standard results. The second one can be done using the product rule as well as the chain rule.

Having people do the questions for you really won't help.

You are making the wrong substitution.

u=(3x+1)12u=(3x+1)^{\frac{1}{2}} for the first one.
On the second one note that (lnx)2=(12lnx)2(\ln \sqrt x)^2 = (\frac{1}{2} \ln x)^2

The substitution should be u=12lnxu=\frac{1}{2}\ln x
