Differentiate each of the following function with dx = du × dx
respect to x.
(a) f(x) = 4x – 8x + 3 3. The limit idea is used to prove the truth of chain

Solution lim dy du
(a) f(x) = 4x – 8x + 3 = dx → 01 du × dx 2

• The derivative of a constant = 0.
• Terms with brackets which can be expanded should used for composite function.
