Sample work · Chain ruleIllustrative example, not a real class

The outer derivative is there. The inner derivative is missing.

2 of these 3 sample responses omit the derivative of the inner function.

A useful next discussion: why does the chain rule need both factors?

Sample A

Differentiate f(x) = (x² + 1)³.

f(x) = (x² + 1)³

f′(x) = 3(x² + 1)²

Review sample grading and feedback

Outer derivative: Correct

Inner derivative: Missing

Suggested feedback
You differentiated the outer function correctly. Now multiply by the derivative of x² + 1, which is 2x.

In your assignment, you and your TAs can adjust grades and feedback before approving what students receive.
