Understanding Composite Functions and the Chain Rule

The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a composite function using the chain rule. It begins by introducing the concept of composite functions and provides specific values for functions F and G. The chain rule is then explained as a method to find the derivative of a composite function by differentiating the outer function and multiplying it by the derivative of the inner function. The tutorial demonstrates this process step-by-step, using the given values to calculate H prime of 1, resulting in a value of 15. The explanation concludes with a summary of the process and its application.
