Calculus

This is still recent knowledge for me, so I don't feel I can answer your question. However, if you look for the Chain Rule topic in the Differential Calculus, AP Calculus AB, or AP Calculus BC course, you may be able to get some help.

I checked. It isn't there

Hi bildnera,

I think it depends very much on which function you have. I think it will have an other impact on f(x) = x² than on f(x) = 2x+1/x + 7x, for example.

If you are interested in a special type of equations, then take the overall equation of this type, for example f(x) = ax²+bx+c and some letter for your five in the equation above, for example z.

Then make the derivations of ax²+bx+c and a(z*x)²+b(z*x)+c and compare.

If you like, present your results here afterwards so that other people can learn from it, too!
