Soooo, I went to the Math Lab at ECC for another session with Kate the Math Goddess.
"What are we working on today?" she asks.
"Well. We have functions that are inside functions and outside functions combined, and the outside functions with the inside functions are multiplied by the first derivative of the inside function, BUT, if the inside function or the outside function is a product of two functions or a quotient of two functions, the product rule for functions or the quotient rule for functions has to be used before the outside and inside functions can be multiplied by the derivative of the inside function, AND if any of the functions are raised to a power, the power rule for functions has to be applied."
She didn't even blink! "Oh," says she, "You are differentiating composite functions."
Now why isn't as easy as she makes it sound?
