We now have a pretty good list of “shortcuts” to find derivatives of simple functions.
Of course, many of the functions that we will encounter are not so simple. What is needed is a way to combine derivative rules to evaluate more complicated functions.
→
Consider a simple composite function:
6 10y x= −
( )2 3 5y x= −
If 3 5u x= −
then 2y u=
6 10y x= − 2y u= 3 5u x= −
6dy
dx= 2
dy
du= 3

dy dy du
dx du dx= ⋅
6 2 3= ⋅

and another:
5 2y u= −
where 3u t=
( )then 5 3 2y t= −
3u t=

du= 3

( )5 3 2y t= −
15 2y t= −
5 2y u= −

and one more:29 6 1y x x= + +
( ) 23 1y x= +
If 3 1u x= +

We could also do it this way:

Here is a faster way to find the derivative:
( )2sin 4y x= −
( ) ( )2 2cos 4 4d
y x xdx
′ = − × −
( )2cos 4 2y x x′ = − ×
Differentiate the outside function...
…then the inside function
At 2, 4x y′= =

Another example:
( )2cos 3d
xdx
( ) 2cos 3

derivative of theinside function
It looks like we need to use the chain rule again!

The chain rule can be used more than once.
(That’s what makes the “chain” in the “chain rule”!)

Derivative formulas include the chain rule!

The formulas on the memorization sheet are written with

The most common mistake on the chapter 3 test is to forget to use the chain rule.
Every derivative problem could be thought of as a chain-rule problem:
2dx
dx2d
x xdx
= 2 1x= ⋅ 2x=
derivative of outside function
derivative of inside function
The derivative of x is one.

The chain rule enables us to find the slope of parametrically defined curves:
dy dy dx
dt dx dt= ⋅
dydydt
dx dxdt
=
Divide both sides bydx
dtThe slope of a parametrized curve is given by:
