Answer

$f^{\prime}(x)=8x+4$

Work Step by Step

Let $u(x)=x^{2},\qquad v(x)=2x+1$ Then,$\quad y=f(x)=u(v(x))$ and $f^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{du}{dv}\frac{dv}{dx}$ $\displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=2x, \quad \frac{du}{dv}=2v=2(2x+1)$ $\displaystyle \frac{dv}{dx}=2$ $f^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{du}{dv}\frac{dv}{dx}=2(2x+1)\cdot 2=4(2x+1)$ $f^{\prime}(x)=8x+4$
