((x - 1)^0.25)^5
Detail solution
  1. Let u=(x1)0.25u = \left(x - 1\right)^{0.25}.

  2. Apply the power rule: u5u^{5} goes to 5u45 u^{4}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x1)0.25\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 1\right)^{0.25}:

    1. Let u=x1u = x - 1.

    2. Apply the power rule: u0.25u^{0.25} goes to 0.25u0.75\frac{0.25}{u^{0.75}}

    3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x1)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 1\right):

      1. Differentiate x1x - 1 term by term:

        1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

        2. The derivative of the constant 1-1 is zero.

        The result is: 11

      The result of the chain rule is:

      0.25(x1)0.75\frac{0.25}{\left(x - 1\right)^{0.75}}

    The result of the chain rule is:

    1.25(x1)0.251.25 \left(x - 1\right)^{0.25}

  4. Now simplify:

    1.25(x1)0.251.25 \left(x - 1\right)^{0.25}


The answer is:

1.25(x1)0.251.25 \left(x - 1\right)^{0.25}
