Is it kind of sad I couldn't do this problem?

I think it's really sad. I've done all the calculus courses UVic offers...and I can't do this question. Chain Rule? Ugh. Bad memories of first year.

As for the guy with the answers, calc III kicked my ass. I hope you do better than I did. It's a tough course, especially for a guy that sucks at math like I do.

Although I do know d(x)/dx = 1

And btw, the reasoning for that is not the chain rule, but the power rule. Yay I'm good at math!.....NOT.
