How do you find the derivative of (x^2-1)^3? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Gió Jul 6, 2015 I found: 6x(x^2-1)^2 Explanation: I would use the Chain Rule to derive ()^3 first and then multiply times the derivative of the argument and get: y'=3(x^2-1)^2*2x=6x(x^2-1)^2 Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
