power rule is used when there are no variables in the raised part (ie. x^2 or 3x^6) but chain rule is used if there are variables in the raised part (ie. d/dx (e^(2x))=e^(2x) * d/dx (2x) = 2e^(2x) Chain rule is used in other situations but this is basically the situation where you would have to decide between chain and power rule as you are asking.
