Chain Rule
The chain rule allows us to compute the derivative of a composite function. In other words suppose that:
for some functions f and g. For example:
In this case we can identify:
How do you compute the derivative in this case? The chain rule tells us that we compute the derivative in the following way:
Let’s compute some examples. [...]
