Apply the chain rule to differentiate a composite function f(g(x)). Enter coefficients for both the outer and inner functions to find the derivative.
Apply the chain rule to differentiate a composite function f(g(x)). Enter coefficients for both the outer and inner functions to find the derivative.
Coefficients of the outer polynomial f(x), highest degree first.
Coefficients of the inner polynomial g(x), highest degree first.
The chain rule multiplies the derivative of the outer function (evaluated at the inner function) by the derivative of the inner function.
