MAT 21C Lecture 22 Chain Rule in Multi-Variable Functions
Chain Rule: Suppose we have a function of two variables,  with  
and   . Then  
One variable case: Suppose we have a function, f(x) with  . If
, then 
 

Example: Given     and     , then
compute
 . The partial derivative with respect to x is 
   
and the partial derivative with respect to y is 
  . Then
     
    
. Then plug in  into x and
 into y such that

Example 2: A cone of height, h and radius, r has a volume of
. If the
height is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/s and radius is increasing at 3 cm/s, then
how fast is the volume increasing when height is 4 cm and radius is 5 cm?

Deriving the Chain Rule: Suppose we have a two variable function,  with
  and   . If      , then     .
Similarly,    .
