2.4 The Chain Rule
Remember the composition of two functions?

Applying the Chain Rule to trigonometric functions
y = sin 2x
y = cos (x – 1)
y = tan 3x
y = cos (3x2)
y = cos2 3x
y’ = (cos 2x) (2) = 2 cos 2x
y’ = -sin (x – 1) (1) = -sin (x – 1)
y’ = sec2 3x (3) = 3 sec2 3x
y’ = -sin (3x2) (6x) = -6x sin (3x2)
rewritten as y = (cos 3x)2
y’ = 2(cos 3x)1 (-sin 3x) (3)
y’ = -6 cos 3x sin 3x
