Npac Reu Program: The 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.

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...

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...

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...

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,...

Take a look at the product rule and chain rule through the eyes of geometry. The fourth video in an 11-part series continues to explore derivative rules using geometry. An area model and a set of number lines help viewers...

Unshackle oneself from the burden of not understanding derivatives. The first of seven lessons in Unit 3 - Differentiation looks at the Chain Rule. By watching a video, scholars learn when to apply the rule and how to use it to determine...

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...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems using differentiation and the chain rules. They take the derivatives of equations using specific equations. There are 21 problems with an answer key.
