We can tell by now that these derivative rules are very often used together. We’ve seen power rule used together with both product rule and quotient rule, and we’ve seen chain rule used with power rule. In this lesson, we want to focus on using chain rule with product rule. But these chain rule/product rule problems are going to require power rule, too.
Read MoreChain rule is also often used with quotient rule. In other words, we always use the quotient rule to take the derivative of rational functions, but sometimes we’ll need to apply chain rule as well when parts of that rational function require it. Let’s look at an example of how these two derivative rules would be used together.
Read MoreLet’s look at how chain rule works in combination with trigonometric functions. Keep in mind that everything we’ve learned about power rule, product rule, and quotient rule still applies.
Read MoreThe chain rule is often one of the hardest concepts for calculus students to understand. It’s also one of the most important, and it’s used all the time, so make sure you don’t leave this section without a solid understanding.
Read MoreThe derivatives of base-10 logs and natural logs follow a simple derivative formula that we can use to differentiate them. With derivatives of logarithmic functions, it’s always important to apply chain rule and multiply by the derivative of the log’s argument.
Read MoreWhen do I have to use chain rule, and when can I get away with not worrying about it?
