Derivatives of Composite Functions: The Chain Rule

Now we know how to take derivatives of polynomials, trig functions, as well as simple products and quotients thereof. But things get trickier than this! We may want to take the derivative of a composite function, where some function is operating on some other function. How can we do this? With the chain rule! It's easier than you think, I promise.
