Calculation Thought Experiment Given an expression, consider the steps you would use in computing its value. If the last operation is multiplication, treat the expression as a product; if the last operation is division, treat the expression as a quotient; and so on.
Calculation Thought Experiment Example: To compute a value, first you would evaluate the parentheses then multiply the results, so this can be treated as a product. Example: To compute a value, the last operation would be to subtract, so this can be treated as a difference.
The Chain Rule If f is a differentiable function of u and u is a differentiable function of x, then the composite f (u) is a differentiable function of x, and The derivative of a f (quantity) is the derivative of f evaluated at the quantity, times the derivative of the quantity.
