Skill Builder: Topic 3.1 – The Chain Rule (Circuit)

Begin in the first cell marked #1 and find the derivative of each given function. To advance in the circuit,
search for your answer and mark that cell #2. Continue in this manner until you complete the circuit. Show all
pertinent work. Note: Some of these problems may require some algebraic manipulation either before or after
you take the derivative.
