<s>[INST] Evaluating Derivative of $\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1-2x}}}$ Did I evaluate the following derivative correctly? I know I have not simplified to the utmost extent, but I want to know if this method is correct.
Consider, $\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1-2x}}}$
Let A = $1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1-2x}}$
Let B = $1+\sqrt{1-2x}$
Let C = $1-2x$
$$\left(\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1-2x}}}\right)' = \frac{1}{2}A^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2}B^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2}C^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot -2 = \frac{-1}{4\sqrt{ABC}}$$
 [/INST] Another way to see it is that with $f(x)=\sqrt{1+x}$, and $g(x)=-2x$, you are calculating the derivative of
$$
f\circ f\circ f\circ g(x)
$$
then you apply the chain rule.
