What is the chain rule used for?
Differentiating composite functions — a function nested inside another function, like f(g(x))
State the chain rule for d/dx[(g(x))ⁿ].
n·(g(x))ⁿ⁻¹·g'(x)
What is the product rule used for?
Differentiating the product of two functions, u(x)·v(x)
State the product rule for (uv)'.
(uv)' = u'v + uv'
If f(x) = (3x + 1)², what is f'(x)?
6(3x + 1)
