Homework Statement
I am trying the find the derivative of the function:
y= (2x-1)^(tan(3x))
Homework Equations
Chain rule, in this case: f'(g(h(x))) * g'(h(x)) * h'(x)
exponent rule: where (d/dx) a^x = (a^x) ln a
The Attempt at a Solution
I feel as if to apply the chain rule, I need to separate the function into three functions:
f(x) = (2x-1)^x g(x) = tanx h(x) = 3x
However, from here, I am not sure how to differentiate (2x-1)^x
How can I apply the exponent rule to this function?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
