Since you indicate that you are having trouble with these kinds of derivatives in general, I think it would be best to just link you to this:

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Class...ChainRule.aspx

Your example is a very basic one, so see if you can find the derivative after reading the tutorial.

thanks! just what I needed.
