\begin{frame} \frametitle{Differentiation Rules: Chain Rule} \begin{block}{Chain Rule} If $g$ is differentiable at $x$ and $f$ at $g(x)$, then \begin{talign} h &= f \circ g &\text{or equivalently } && h(x) &= f(g(x)) \end{talign} is differentiable at $x$ and \begin{talign} h'(x) \;=\; (f\circ g)'(x) \;=\; f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) \end{talign} \end{block} \pause\bigskip Intuition with rates of change: \begin{itemize} \pause \item If $g'(x) = N$. Then $g(x)$ changes $N$ times as much as $x$. \pause \item If $f'(g(x)) = M$. Then $f(x)$ changes $M$ times as much as $g(x)$.\hspace*{-3ex} \pause \item Thus $(f\circ g)(x) = f(g(x))$ changes $N\cdot M$ times as much as~$x$.\hspace*{-5ex}\ \ \end{itemize} \vspace{10cm} \end{frame}
