Understanding Derivatives and Chain Rule

The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a composite function using the chain rule. It begins by identifying the outer and inner functions, then applies the chain rule to derive the function. The tutorial simplifies the derivative expression and demonstrates how to calculate the derivative at a specific point using a calculator, rounding the result to four decimal places.
