Lesson 7

This document covers the Chain Rule in calculus, focusing on how to differentiate functions and identify critical points. Critical points occur where the first derivative is zero or undefined, and can be classified as maxima, minima, or points of inflection. The document outlines steps to determine these critical points using the First Derivative Test.
