Step 3.1.1

To apply the Chain Rule, set $u$ as $10 x^{3} + 7$ .

$\frac{d}{d u} [u^{\frac{3}{2}}] \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$

Step 3.1.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d u} [u^{n}]$ is $n u^{n - 1}$ where $n = \frac{3}{2}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} u^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$

Step 3.1.3

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $10 x^{3} + 7$ .

$\frac{3}{2} {(10 x^{3} + 7)}^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$

Step 3.2

To write $- 1$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} {(10 x^{3} + 7)}^{\frac{3}{2} - 1 \cdot \frac{2}{2}} \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$

Step 3.3

Combine $- 1$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} {(10 x^{3} + 7)}^{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{- 1 \cdot 2}{2}} \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$

Step 3.4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{3}{2} {(10 x^{3} + 7)}^{\frac{3 - 1 \cdot 2}{2}} \frac{d}{d x} [10 x^{3} + 7]$
