The Chain Rule

The document provides information about the chain rule formula for finding the derivative of a composition of functions. It begins by stating the chain rule theorem - that if f is a function differentiable at c and g is a function differentiable at f(g), then the composition g ° f is differentiable at c. It then restates the chain rule in another way - if y is a function of u defined by y = f(u) and u is a function of x defined by u = g(x), then the derivative of y with respect to x is the derivative of the outer function f evaluated at the inner function g, multiplied by the derivative of the inner function g. The document provides

The Chain Rule provides for a formula for
the derivative of a composition of a function.

Theorem (Chain Rule). Let f be a function


differentiable at c and let g be a function
differentiable at f(g). Then the composition
g ° f is differentiable at c and
 
Another way to state the Chain Rule is the
Remark 1:
following:If y is a differentiable function of u
defined by y = f(u) and u is a differentiable
function of x defined by u = g(x), then y is a
differentiable function x, and the derivative of y
with respect to x is given by
=·

In others words, the derivative of a composition


of functions is the derivative of the outer
function evaluated at the inner function, times
the derivative of the inner function.

REVIEW LESSON
 
Solve the following derivatives:

1. -2x+4
ANSWERS

 
1.-2x+4
f’(x) = 2 (3x2 -2x + 4) ( 6x-2)

= (6x2-4x +8) (6x -2 )


= 36x3 – 12x2 -24x2 - 8x + 24x -16
= 36 −36 + 56x−16
2) y = sin(2x).

Solution. We can rewrite y = sin(2x) as y = f(u)


where f(u) = sinu and u = 2x. Hence,
