    Derivative Rules

    Uploaded by

    Ashley Morgan
    The document summarizes the main derivative rules: - The derivative of a constant is 0. - The sum and difference rules state that the derivative of a sum or difference of functions is the sum or difference of their individual derivatives. - The constant multiple rule is that the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function. - The power rule states that the derivative of a variable to a power is that power times the variable to the power minus one. - The product rule gives the derivative of two functions multiplied as the sum of each function times the derivative of the other. - The quotient rule gives the derivative of a quotient of two functions as a complicated fraction involving
