Differentiation of composite function within composite function

Question

I was asked to differentiate $((1-3x)^5-x^2)^4$ with respect to x, I thought that I would have to apply chain rule to the internal function before moving on to the outside. However, the answer was $-4((1-3x)^5-x^2)^3(15(1-3x)^4+2x)$. How was this achieved so simply?

Answer 1

The answer is most probably wrong.

The common method to do this type of problems is by applying the chain rule.

Let,$y=[(1-3x)^5-x^2]^4$ and let,$z=(1-3x)^5-x^2$

So,$$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dz}\cdot\frac{dz}{dx}\implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dz}z^4\cdot[\frac{d}{dx}[(1-3x^5)-x^2]]=4z^3\cdot[\frac{d}{dx}[(1-3x^5)-x^2]]$$.

Now,you can continue as usual.(Don't forget to substitute the $z$ at last).

Answer 2

The "official" answer seems to be correct. Awkward image of derivation follows:
