Answer

(a) $dy$ = $-\frac{4x}{(x^{2}-3)^{3}}dx$ (b) $dy$ = $-\frac{2t^{3}}{\sqrt {1-t^{4}}}dt$

Work Step by Step

(a) $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $-2(x^{2}-3)^{-3}(2x)$ $dy$ = $-\frac{4x}{(x^{2}-3)^{3}}dx$ (b) $\frac{dy}{dt}$ = $\frac{1}{2}(1-t^{4})^{-\frac{1}{2}}(-4t^{3})$ $dy$ = $-\frac{2t^{3}}{\sqrt {1-t^{4}}}dt$
