The Chain Rule
Chain Rule – Case I (One Independent Variable)Let be a differentiable function in its domain where and are both differentiable function of Then is a differentiable function of and
The Chain Rule Case I
The function is differentiable at if the partial derivatives and e and are continuous at

• Put the appropriate derivatives along the branches
Tree diagram
• Multiply along each path and sum the contributions of both paths.
