Chain Rule, If you see in a given problem, a function with a square root sign, or a function enclosed in parenthesis where that function is taken to a higher power in other words has an exponent, or a trig function such as sin, cosine, or tangent where there is something more than an x in the parenthesis of that trig function, you are using the chain rule. To get to my menu, you have to press second alpha on the Titanium to enter letters in the home screen, and then you enter the letters
ex press alpha again and enter the eight and the closed parenthesis. Press ENTER and you’re into my menu. You choose “chain rule” by scrolling down to it, or pressing the number before it, in this case the number six. Then press ENTER. You are given three things to choose from here. One, Anything enclosed in parenthesis to a power Two, If you are already given u and f of x And Three, the trig functions with something more than an x involved. I’m demonstrating the third option in this video, the trig function. Enter your trig function. Press alpha first, then the second button, I’m going to do tangent. Three times x squared. I show you what you’ve entered You can change it if you want I say it’s ok You write all of this down on your paper or homework Here’s the formula Here’st he choice for u Here’s what f of u And you’ll notice one over cosine u squared This is an identity for secant squared, the derivative of tan of u Identities, derivatives and integrals of trig functions can all be obtained by going to trig d d x in my main menu And the next screen is the step by step answer Pretty neat huh? Everystepcalculus.com. Enjoy my programs and pass calculus.
