Chain Rule and Derivatives

The video tutorial explains how to find the derivative of a function using the chain rule. It begins by identifying the inner and outer functions, then calculates the derivative step-by-step. The derivative is simplified, and finally, the derivative is evaluated at a specific point, x=3, resulting in a value of 5/7.
