While you can treat "2" as a function, namely the constant function f(x) = 2 that outputs 2 for all inputs, raising one function to the power of another like f(x)^g(x) is different from composing functions, as in f(g(x)). For example, the chain rule cannot be used to take the derivative of x^x. Chain Rules for One or Two Independent Variables. Recall that the chain rule for the derivative of a composite of two functions can be written in the form. d dx(f(g(x))) = f (g(x))g (x). In this equation, both f(x) and g(x) are functions of one variable. Now suppose that f is a function of two variables and g is a function of one variable. Alternate Chain Rule Notation; We have covered almost all of the derivative rules that deal with combinations of two (or more) functions. The operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication (including by a constant) and division led to the Sum and Difference rules, the Constant Multiple Rule, the Power Rule, the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule. Xi Jinping's consolidation of power has cleared the path for him to break China's cycle of debt-driven growth and put the economy on a more sustainable footing. But there's a big problem: He Proving the chain rule for derivatives. The chain rule tells us how to find the derivative of a composite function: d d x [ f ( g ( x))] = f ′ ( g ( x)) g ′ ( x) The AP Calculus course doesn't require knowing the proof of this rule, but we believe that as long as a proof is accessible, there's always something to learn from it. 3.6.2 Apply the chain rule together with the power rule. 3.6.3 Apply the chain rule and the product/quotient rules correctly in combination when both are necessary. 3.6.4 Recognize the chain rule for a composition of three or more functions. 3.6.5 Describe the proof of the chain rule.
