Master the chain rule for Queensland Year 12 Mathematical Methods — the method for differentiating a composite function, or function of a function, by differentiating the outside and multiplying by the derivative of the inside.
You will learn to apply it to powers, exponentials, logarithms and trigonometric composites without dropping the crucial inner factor, then find gradients and tangents — an essential differentiation skill for the QCAA exam.
