Same chain rule, different notation. We'll look at a popular way of viewing the chain rule.

  • So you take the derivative of the whole thing getting 2(3x+1) and multiply by the inner derivative, derivative of U in your video, making it 2*(3+1)*3?

  • @anacondaerslayer

    You take the derivative of "the whole thing" and get 2(3x+1), thats correct. Then you take that and multiply by the derivative of the inside and get:

    2*(3x+1)*3

    You just left out the x in "(3 + 1)", but other than that you have the right idea!

  • Tomorrow is my calc final, so I'm grateful. It's a small and simple concept, but just needed a teacher to push it through, thanks again!

  • If I could hug you I would, thank you sir, subbed.

  • thank you!

  • how did you get 18x+6?

  • You say that the du doesn't actually cancel but you never explain what actually happens (no one ever does). I find that this is required for me, personally, to get an intuitive knowledge of this subject (especially the notation). Can you explain intuitively, then rigorously, what happens with the du? I promise that I will be capable of following it.

  • Actually know how Leibniz notation works now! Thank you!

  • Amazing video!! Thanks a lot!! I had a really hard time understanding the usage of Leibniz' notation and especially in Implicit Differentiation but you made me understand a bit more!! :)
