Take the derivative using the chain rule and trig functions

The video tutorial covers the process of taking derivatives, focusing on the chain rule. It begins with an introduction to derivatives, followed by a detailed explanation of the chain rule. The instructor demonstrates how to apply the chain rule to find the derivative of a tangent function, resulting in secant squared. The session concludes with practice problems and a group discussion to reinforce learning.
