Look at the Chain Rule formula with a visual explanation of how it works:
(h(x))=(g(f(x)))=g(f(x))f(x)
g(f(x))-outside function
(f(x))-inside function
g(f(x))-derivative of the otside at f(x)
f(x)-derivative of the inside
Now, explain what happens in regards to calculating the derivative, if f(x) is also a composite function.

Step 1
Let f(x) also be a composite function
f(x)=p(q(x))
h(x)=g(f(x))=g(p(q(x)))
Using chain rule
h(x)=g(p(q(x))p(q(x))q(x)
=g(f(x))p(q(x))q(x)
