For example,
if you differentiate 6*sqrt(x^5), would you use the chain rule? If not, why?
Thank you!

Should you use chain rule? It depends.JessicaJ283782 said:For example,

The chain rule is a calculus rule used to find the derivative of a composite function. It states that the derivative of the outer function multiplied by the derivative of the inner function.
The chain rule should be used when the given function is a composition of two or more functions, where the inner function is a function of the independent variable.
Yes, the chain rule can be used for any type of function, as long as it meets the criteria of being a composite function.
No, the chain rule is only necessary when taking the derivative of a composite function. If the function is not composed, the chain rule is not needed.
Yes, the chain rule can be used for higher order derivatives. Each time the derivative is taken, the chain rule will need to be applied again.
