Answer

$\dfrac{d}{dt}[u(f(t))]=f'(t)u'(f(t))$

Work Step by Step

Since, $\dfrac{d}{dt}[u(f(t))]=\dfrac{d}{dt}[u_1'(f(t))i+u_2'(f(t))j+u_3'(f(t))k]$ This gives: $=u_1'(f(t))f'(t)i+u_2'(f(t))f'(t)j+u_3'(f(t))f'(t)k$ or, $=f'(t)[u_1'(f(t))i+u_2'(f(t))j+u_3'(f(t))k]$ or, $=f'(t)u'(f(t))$ Hence, the result. $\dfrac{d}{dt}[u(f(t))]=f'(t)u'(f(t))$
