Question:

What happens if you can write a function as a composite in different ways? Do you get the same derivative each time? The Chain Rule says you should. Try it with the function.

Find dy/dx if y = x by using the Chain Rule with y as a compsite of

a. y = (u/5) + 7 and u = 5x - 35

b. y = 1 + (1/u) and u = 1/(x - 1).
