2.4: THE CHAIN RULE
Review: Think About it!! What is a derivative???
Why do we need the chain rule? Find the derivative of (x 2 + 3x) 3 Find the derivative of (x 2 + 3x) 6
The Chain Rule Take the derivative of the outter function times the derivative of the inner function.
Find the inner function (u = g(x)) and the outter function (y = f(u)) Y = 1/(x + 1) Y = sin (4x) Y =
Differentiate using the chain rule. f(x) = (4x – 7x 2 ) 3 f(x) =
