We have seen the techniques for differentiating basic functions (
, , etc.) as well as sums, differences, products, quotients, and constant multiples of these functions. However, these techniques do not allow us to differentiate compositions of functions, such as, or Downloaded by Whitney turner (ct8682126@gmail.com)

or . In this section, we study the rule for finding the derivative of the composition of two or more functions, called the chain rule. For example, if we take , then we split as , composition of two functions and , where and . Then we take the derivative of these two functions, f^' (x)=15 x^14 and u’(x)=2x. Finally, we finish by doing a composition of and
and then multiply by .
So, we have, . This is chain rule.
For understanding the Implicit Differentiation, think about what we have done before. We
have already studied how to find equations of tangent lines to functions and the rate of change of a function at a specific point. In all these cases we had the explicit equation for the function as and differentiated these functions explicitly. Suppose instead that we want to determine the equation of a tangent line to an arbitrary curve or the rate of change of an arbitrary curve at a point. In this section, we solve these problems
by finding the derivatives of functions that define implicitly in terms of . For example, we might have a function like, , for Downloaded by Whitney turner (ct8682126@gmail.com)
lOMoARcPSD|24613649
which we would need to find what that is the slope of the function at some point (say). Under this circumstance, we will use implicit differentiation. As you read through the material and solve the equations, important to memorize the process
of the chain rule and implicit differentiation.

The Learning Journal is an evaluation tool designed to help you evaluate the importance of the material you learned but understand what you found relevant. In some cases, it should help you record problems you encountered but also how you resolved them. This does not mean you should resubmit what you already shared in the Discussions and assignments, but more relevant information. Learning Journals help you understand what information was presented and how you felt it interacted with your world.

Consider one mathematical idea from the topics this week that you have found beautiful and explain why it is be
must:
explain the idea in a way that could be understood by a classmate who has taken classes X and Y but has
address how this beauty is similar to or different from other kinds of beauty that human beings encounter.
The Learning Journal entry should be a minimum of 400 words and not more than 750 words.
Self-Quiz
The Self-Quiz gives you an opportunity to self-assess your knowledge of what you have learned so far.
The results of the Self-Quiz do not count towards your final grade, but the quiz is an important part of the University’s learning process and it is expected that you will take it to ensure understanding of the materials presented. Reviewing and analyzing your results will help you perform better on future Graded Quizzes and the Final Exam.
Please access the Self-Quiz on the main course homepage; it will be listed inside the Unit
