כיצד לחשב את Chain Rule
learn.whatIsHeading
The Chain Rule is a formula for differentiating composite functions — functions of the form h(x) = f(g(x)). It is one of the most important rules in calculus and is essential for differentiating all but the simplest functions. The rule states: h'(x) = f'(g(x)) × g'(x).
