When do I use dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx in Differentiation, and what does it mean?

the chain rule for composite functions.

dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx — the chain rule for composite functions. Use it when: y is a function of u, u of x. Always check the condition holds before plugging in numbers.

Key point

dy/dx = dy/du · du/dx
