What is the derivative of 3^(7^(x^2)) ?
I tried logarithmic differentiation as well, but wasn't getting the right result, so I'm trying to use chain rule.
So far I have
u(x) = 3^7
g(x) = u^x
h(x) = (u^x)^2
I really want to learn how to do this question.... thanks guys, I'll def pick the best answer

You need to use the Chain Rule twice.
Let y = 3^[7^(x^2)] and u = 7^(x^2). Hence y = 3^u
dy/du = 3^(u)ln(3) = 3^[7^(x^2)] ln(3)
To find du/dx use the Chain Rule for the first time thus:
Let Y = 7^(x^2) and let U = x^2. Then Y = 7^U. Hence:
dY/dU = 7U ln(7) = 7x^(2)ln(7) and DU/dx = 2x
Chain Rule: dY/dx = dY/dU/* dU/dx = 7x^(2)ln(7)*2x
Hence du/dx = 2x*7x^(2)ln(7)
Using the Chain Rule again: dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx.
dy/dx = 3^[7^(x^2)]ln(3) * 2x*7x^(2)ln(7)
dy/dx = 2x*3^[7^x^(2)]* 7^x^(2)*ln(3)*ln(7)
Let y = 3^[7^(x^2)] and u = 7^(x^2). Hence y = 3^u
dy/du = 3^(u)ln(3) = 3^[7^(x^2)] ln(3)
To find du/dx use the Chain Rule for the first time thus:
Let Y = 7^(x^2) and let U = x^2. Then Y = 7^U. Hence:
dY/dU = 7U ln(7) = 7x^(2)ln(7) and DU/dx = 2x
Chain Rule: dY/dx = dY/dU/* dU/dx = 7x^(2)ln(7)*2x
Hence du/dx = 2x*7x^(2)ln(7)
Using the Chain Rule again: dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx.
dy/dx = 3^[7^(x^2)]ln(3) * 2x*7x^(2)ln(7)
dy/dx = 2x*3^[7^x^(2)]* 7^x^(2)*ln(3)*ln(7)

Using the chain rule, d/dx (3^(7x^2)=3^u du/dx ln(3),
where u=7^(x^2) and d 3^u/du= 3^u ln(3):
3^(7x^2) ln(3) (d/dx (7^(x^2))
Using the chain rule, d/dx (7^(x^2))= 7^u du/dx ln(7),
where u=x^2 and d 7^u/du= 7^u ln(7):
3^(7^(x^2)) ln(3) (7x^2 ln(7) (d/dx (x^2)))
The derivative of x^2 is 2x:
Answer: 3^(7^(x^2)) 7^(x^2) (2x) ln(3) ln(7).
where u=7^(x^2) and d 3^u/du= 3^u ln(3):
3^(7x^2) ln(3) (d/dx (7^(x^2))
Using the chain rule, d/dx (7^(x^2))= 7^u du/dx ln(7),
where u=x^2 and d 7^u/du= 7^u ln(7):
3^(7^(x^2)) ln(3) (7x^2 ln(7) (d/dx (x^2)))
The derivative of x^2 is 2x:
Answer: 3^(7^(x^2)) 7^(x^2) (2x) ln(3) ln(7).
