Question

1. For this discussion, please experiment with the following applet: http://www.calculusapplets.com/chainrule.html

My Response:

This applet seems to gear you towards recognizing not all functions are considered simple. What helped me to better understand this concept is how the applet showed the two graphs separate and also together as the composite function, y=g(f(x)). While using the slider, I was able to figure out the role each function played in the composition of the line and a parabola. The slope of the tangent in the first graph is just f

Explanation / Answer

Yes, I think you have got it alright
