2.2.4: Chain Rule
Take notes as you watch these videos. Listen to the presentations carefully until you are able to apply the chain rule using this rule and the other rules of differentiation.
Read this section on derivatives of trig functions. Watch all of the videos within the section. This instruction discusses the chain rule as well as all of the other rules of differentiation. At the end of this reading, you should be able to apply the chain rule as well as the rules of differentiation discussed earlier.
Complete problems 31-41. These exercises will provide you with the opportunity to apply the chain rule for derivatives. The solution for each problem can be found by clicking on the gray triangle beside each problem. The solution is the derivative of the function.
Complete this activity, which tests your knowledge on derivatives using the definition with slope and limits. You can review the concepts associated with these questions with the Khan Academy videos in the "Stuck? Watch a Video" section (or review other content within the section). Compute the answer to the given problem, and input your response into the answer box. Then, click on "Check Answer" to see if you were correct or if you need to try again. Work through all of the problems.
