The Chain Rule for Derivatives - Calculus
www.subjectcoach.com › tutorials › mathThe Chain Rule. The engineer's function \(\text{wobble}(t) = 3\sin(t^3)\) involves a function of a function of \(t\). There's a differentiation law that allows us to calculate the derivatives of functions of functions. It's called the Chain Rule, although some text books call it the Function of a Function Rule. So what does the chain rule say?
Chain rule (video) | Khan Academy
www.khanacademy.org › v › chain-rule-introductionThe chain rule states that the derivative of f (g (x)) is f' (g (x))⋅g' (x). In other words, it helps us differentiate *composite functions*. For example, sin (x²) is a composite function because it can be constructed as f (g (x)) for f (x)=sin (x) and g (x)=x². Using the chain rule and the derivatives of sin (x) and x², we can then find ...
