Inverse Trig Functions: Chain Rule

Greg Kelly puts together another great slide presentation to demonstrate ways to combine derivative rules to evaluate more complicated functions. This pattern is called the chain rule.  He shows step by step ways to solve these...

Class members learn how to evaluate derivatives of functions using the Chain Rule through a video that shows the steps of finding a derivative with the Chain Rule. The two examples include both a trigonometric and polynomial function.

Break the chain in finding derivatives of trigonometric functions. The short video provides a demonstration of finding the derivative of a trigonometric function where the argument is a function. The 12th video in a series of 31 focuses...

How does the chain rule work with the power rule? Using a radical function, the video shows how the chain rule works along with the power rule. The resource continues to simplify the derivative and places it in a familiar form. The...

Work on the chain gang. The 11th installment in a series of 31 demonstrates how the chain rule and the quotient rule work together to find a derivative. Using a trigonometric function of a quotient involving exponentials as an example,...

Get two functions for the cost of one. The short video is the 16th in a series of 31 video on calculus topics. The presenter works through finding the derivative of a function involving two arccot functions. One of the functions requires...

Unchain the product rule. The 10th video in a series of 31 provides an example of the chain rule in conjunction with the product rule. Using a binomial and a trinomial raised to powers as factors, the presenter works through the process...

Keep it on the chains. Pupils work through the steps in the chain rule using the interactive as a guide. Learners identify the two composed functions and their associated derivatives from a set of choices. They continue on to build the...

This Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University provides a table of contents on information and examples on the chain rule.

Video lesson demonstrating the derivative of composite functions using the formal definition of the chain rule. Includes a link to additional practice at the top of the video. [9:50]
