What is the Chain Rule used for?

• Finding integrals of composite functions

• Finding derivatives of composite functions

• Solving algebraic equations

• Calculating limits

In the Chain Rule, what do you multiply by after taking the derivative of the outer function?

• The original function

• The derivative of the inner function

• The integral of the inner function

• The square of the inner function

What is implicit differentiation used for?

• Equations where Y is isolated

• Equations where Y is not isolated

• Equations with no variables

• Equations with only constants

What is the first step in implicit differentiation?

• Isolate Y

• Differentiate both sides with respect to X

• Multiply by the derivative of Y

• Add a constant to both sides

In implicit differentiation, what do you do after differentiating both sides?

• Integrate both sides

• Add a constant to both sides

• Apply the chain rule to all terms with Y

• Solve for X

What is the derivative of an inverse function related to?

• The reciprocal of the derivative of the original function

• The square of the original function

• The integral of the original function

• The sum of the original function

What is a key property of derivatives at inverse points?

• They are integrals

• They are squares

• They are reciprocals

• They are equal

What is the derivative of arc sine of U?

• 1 over 1 + U^2

• U over 1 - U^2

How does the derivative of arc cosine of U differ from arc sine of U?

• It is the same

• It is negative

• It is positive

• It is squared
