Answer:


(dy)/(dx) =
(15)/(4) u

Explanation:


(dy)/(dx) =
(dy)/(du) ×
(du)/(dx)

differentiate using the power rule


(d)/(dx) (a
x^(n) ) = na
x^(n-1) , and
(d)/(dx) (constant) = 0

given

x = 2u² + 1


(dx)/(du) = 4u , then


(du)/(dx) =
(1)/(4u)

y = 5u³ + 1


(dy)/(du) = 15u²

then


(dy)/(dx) = 15u² ×
(1)/(4u) =
(15)/(4) u
