As per question, 

If  and  are differentiable, then

This result is known as the chain rule. Thus, the derivative of is the derivative of evaluated at times the derivative of .

By the definition of the derivative we have

 

Since is differentiable at , letting

 

we find

 

with .

Similarly, we can write
