I am having a hard time understanding the difference between the chain rule and other rules for solving derivatives. Let's say I have an equation F(x) = x(x+3). Couldn't I technically define this as two different functions(F(x) = x(u) and G(u) = u+3) and do the chain rule? I know that this is incorrect but I want to know why I can't do this?
Also since the derivative of ex is simply ex why is the derivative e3x not e3x?
Any help is appreciated.
