Find expressions for dy/dx when i) y = 2t^2 ii) y = (1+2u)^4
I would really appreciate some help on these. I have no idea where to start.

y=2t^2
dy/dt=4t
dy/dx=dy/dt*dt/dx
dy/dx=4t*dt/dx
(1+2u)^4
dy/dx=4(1+2u)^3*2*du/dx
in the above problems are you sure you want dy/dx or dy/dt in the first case and dy/du in the second case?

Use the power rule for (i). Use the chain rule and the power rule for (ii), where 1+2u is the argument for w^4. In both cases, remember to apply the chain rule and multiply dt/dx for (i), and du/dx for (ii), assuming you meant to determine dy/dx for both.
