The Deep Dive
To express \( y \) in the form \( y = f(u) \) and \( u = g(x) \), we can identify functions as follows: Let \( u = g(x) = \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \) Then, we have \( y = f(u) = u^3 \) So, \( y = \left( \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \right)^3 \). Next, we need to find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \). We will use the chain rule. 1. Differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( u \): \[ \frac{dy}{du} = 3u^2 \] 2. Differentiate \( u \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{du}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \right) = \frac{1}{3}x + 5 + \frac{4}{x^2} \] 3. Now, apply the chain rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du} \cdot \frac{du}{dx} = 3u^2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{3}x + 5 + \frac{4}{x^2} \right) \] 4. Substitute back \( u = \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3\left( \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \right)^2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{3}x + 5 + \frac{4}{x^2} \right) \] Thus, the final expression for \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) is: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3\left( \frac{x^2}{6} + 5x - \frac{4}{x} \right)^2 \left( \frac{1}{3}x + 5 + \frac{4}{x^2} \right) \]
