The Chain Rule
We have yet to discuss one of the most powerful differentiation rules—the Chain Rule.
This rule deals with composite functions and adds a surprising versatility to the rules discussed in the two previous sections.

For example, compare the functions shown below.
Those on the left can be differentiated without the Chain Rule, and those on the right are best differentiated with the Chain Rule.
Basically, the Chain Rule states that if y changes dy/du times as fast as u, and u changes du/dx times as fast as x, then y changes (dy/du)(du/dx) times as fast as x.
The Chain Rule

Example 1 – The Derivative of a Composite Function
A set of gears is constructed, as shown in Figure 2.24, such that the second and third gears are on the same axle.
As the first axle revolves, it drives the second axle, which in turn drives the third axle.
Let y, u, and x represent the numbers of revolutions per minute of the first, second, and third axles, respectively. Find dy/du, du/dx, and dy/dx ,and show that

Example 1 – Solution
Because the circumference of the second gear is three times that of the first, the first axle must make three revolutions to turn the second axle once.
Combining these two results, you know that the first axle must make six revolutions to turn the third axle once.
Similarly, the second axle must make two revolutions to turn the third axle once, and you can write

So, you can write
In other words, the rate of change of y with respect to x is the product of the rate of change of y with respect to u and the rate of change of u with respect to x.

The Chain Rule
When applying the Chain Rule, it is helpful to think of the composite function f ◦ g as having two parts– an inner part and an outer part.
The derivative of y = f (u) is the derivative of the outer function (at the inner function u) times the derivative of the inner function.

The General Power Rule
The function y = [u(x)]n is one of the most common types of composite functions.
The rule for differentiating such functions is called the General Power Rule, and it is a special case of the Chain Rule.

Example 4 – Applying the General Power Rule
Find the derivative of f(x) = (3x – 2x2)3.
Solution:
Let u = 3x – 2x2.
Then f(x) = (3x – 2x2)3 = u3
and, by the General Power Rule, the derivative is
