Chain Rule

Find the derivative of  f(x) = (x⁶ + 4)⁵

• f '(x) = 5x⁵(x⁴ + 4)⁴

• f '(x) = 6x⁵(x⁶ + 4)⁴

• f '(x) = 30x⁵(x⁶ + 4)⁴

• f '(x) = 30x⁶(x⁶ + 4)⁴

Find the slope of the tangent line to f(x) = -3x²-6x at x = 1.

• m = 0

• f'(x) = -6x - 6

• f'(x) = 6x

• (8x⁴ -60x²)/(2x²-5)²

• 3x

Find the derivative.
y = 2 / (2x⁴ − 5)

• y ′ = -16x³ / (2x⁴-5)

• y′ = 4x⁶ + 8x³ + 4

• y′ = 16x³

When do you use the chain rule?

• anytime you want

• when there is a function in a function

• where there are multiple layers to a lasagna (yum)

• when there is division
