One very important result of the symbolic determination of a function's derivative is the chain rule. This formula, first mentioned in a paper by Leibniz in 1676, made it possible to solve the derivatives of composite functions in a very simple and elegant manner, simplifying the solution for very complex functions.
In order to define the chain rule, if we suppose a function f, which is defined as a function of another function g, f(g(x)) of F, the derivative can be defined as follows:

The formula of the chain rule allows us to differentiate formulas whose input values depend on another function. This is the same as searching the ...
