I need help with a question in math involving finding the derivative

Q: Find the derivative of the function f(y) = [(y^2) / (y - 1)]^4

Can someone explain how to solve this?

-
Transform the functions and use the chain rule to find the derivative:

f(u) = u^4
u(y) = y^2 / ( y - 1 )

df / dy = ( df / du ) * ( du / dy )

-
Use the Chain Rule: Bring down the 4, leave the inside alone and change the power to 3. Then multiply by the deriv of y^2/(y-1), using the Quotient Rule to find that derivative.
