  Rule
The Chain Rule tells us how to find the derivative of a composite
function.
The Chain Rule can be stated in two ways:
1. If the function g is differentiable at x and the function f is
differentiable at then the composite function is differentiable at x,
and
.
2. If the Leibniz notation is used for the derivative, the chain rule
can be stated as follows:
If y is a function of u, defined by and exists, and if u is a
function of x, defined by and exists, then y is a function of x and
exists and is given by

Implicit Differentiation
Implicit differentiation is a technique based on
chain rule that helps us find the derivative of y
with respect to x without solving the given
equation for y. This is especially helpful if it is
difficult or impossible to transform an implicit
equation to an explicit one.
