Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Hello everyone! Welcome to the first blog post of the second quarter!
Today we went over the Chain Rule.
Defined as: the derivative of the outside with respect to the inside multiplied by the derivative of the inside.
You can solve for the derivative using two methods.
For example:
f(x)=(3x+2) 3
using the inside/outside method…
f’(x)=3(3x+2)2 * 3
f’(x)=9(3x+2)2
substitution
u=3x+2 u’=3
y = u3
y’=3u2 * [...]
