Chain Rule
If y = f(u) is a differential function of u and u in turn is a differentiable function of x, that is u = g(x), then
y = f (g(x)) is a differentiable function of x and its derivative is given by the product
The chain rule states that the change in y w.r.t. x is the product of two rates of change.

Example: spider web
• A spider moves horizontally across the ground at a constant rate k, pulling a thin thread with it. One end of the thread is pinned to a vertical wall at height h above the ground and does not move. The other end moves with the spider. Determine the rate of the elongation of the thread.
• Solution

Implicit Differentiation
• The equation y = explicitly defines f(x) =
21 x 21 x
as a function of x for 11 x
The same function can also be defined implicitly by the equation
122 yx as long as we restrict y by 10 yTo find the derivative of the explicit form, we use the chain rule;
