If y equals and u equals , what must be included in according to the Chain Rule?
Each function (u,v,w,and z) should be differentiated separately without compounding other derivatives.
Threat each function (u,v,w,and z) as separate entities when calculating the chain rule.
Consider only derivatives of f(u) and d(u)/dz, ignoring intermediate layers of formulation.
