How do you differentiate #f(x) = (2x+1)^7# using the chain rule? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Michael Nov 2, 2015 You can do it like this: Explanation: #f(x)=(2x+1)^7# Treat #(2x+1)# as it were a single function. Differentiate that and then multiply by the differential of #(2x+1)rArr# #f'(x)=7(2x+1)^(6)xx2# #f'(x)=14(2x+1)^6# Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
