Find dy/dx. if y = 8u - 6 and u = 3x - 8.

Use the chain rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}

We have

y=8u-6\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm du}=8

u=3x-8\implies\dfrac{\mathrm du}{\mathrm dx}=3

so we get

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=8\cdot3=\boxed{24}

Alternatively, you can substitute <em>u</em> in the definition of <em>y</em> and differentiate with respect to <em>x</em> :

y=8u-6=8(3x-8)=24x-64\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=24

Gcf of -15xyz, -55xy²,- 55yz
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

-5y

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = 3×5

55 = 5×11

-15xyz = -1 × 3 × 5 × x × y × z

-55xy² = -1 × 5 × 11 × x × y²

-55yz = -1 × 5 × 11 × y × z

HCF = multiply all common factors with the lowest power amongst all 3 expressions

HCF = -1 × 5 × y = -5y
