The discussion revolves around finding the derivative of the function f(x) = sin(sin(sin(x))). Participants are exploring the application of the chain rule in this context.
Several participants express agreement on the approach taken, noting that the original problem was correctly identified. There seems to be a productive exchange regarding the application of the chain rule, though no definitive consensus is reached on the final form of the derivative.
Some participants reflect on their initial uncertainty regarding the problem, indicating a learning process in understanding the application of the chain rule.
jedishrfu said:yes use the chain rule:
f(x)=sin(sin(x))
df/dx = cos(sin(x)) * cos(x)
your solution looks correct.
Torshi said:Well the original problem was f(x) = (sin(sin(sin(x)))), but yes I believe I got it right. Thank you.
jedishrfu said:I know that but at first I didn't want to give you the answer outright. Later as I reread your post I saw that you had in fact the right answer. Anyway, its helpful to see a simpler example.
