    This document outlines the basic rules for differentiation, including: - The power rule, which states that the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1) - The constant rule, where the derivative of a constant is zero - The constant multiple rule, which is the derivative of c*f(x) is c*f'(x) - The sum and difference rules for the derivatives of sums and differences of functions It provides examples of applying each rule to find the derivative of various functions. The objective is to teach students how to differentiate functions using these fundamental rules.

    Rules of Differentiation

    Rules for Differentiation
    Taking the derivative by using the definition is a lot of work.

    Perhaps there is an easy way to find the derivative.


    Objective
     Todifferentiate functions using the
    power rule, constant rule, constant
    multiple rule, and sum and difference
    rules.
    The Derivative is …
     Used to find the “slope” of a function at a point.

     Used to find the “slope of the tangent line” to


    the graph of a function at a point.

     Used to find the “instantaneous rate of change”


    of a function at a point.

     Computed by finding the limit of the difference


    quotient as ∆x approaches 0. (Limit Definition)
    Notations for the
    Derivative of a Function

    f '( x) “f prime of x”

    y' “y prime”

    dy
    “the derivative of y with respect to x”
    dx
    Rules for Differentiation
     Differentiation
    is the process of
    computing the derivative of a
    function.

    You may be asked to:


     Differentiate.

     Derive.

     Find the derivative of…


    The Power Rule
    Rules for Differentiation
     Working with the definition of the
    derivative is important because it
    helps you really understand what the
    derivative means.
    The Power Rule

    d N N 1
    [ x ]  Nx , N is any real number
    dx

    d
    [ x]  1
    dx
    The Constant Rule
    d
    [c]  0, c is a constant
    dx

     The derivative of a constant function


    is zero.
    The Constant Multiple Rule
    d
    [c  f ( x) ]  c  f '( x)  , c is a constant
    dx

     Thederivative of a constant times a


    function is equal to the constant
    times the derivative of the function.
    The Sum and Difference Rules

    d
    [ f ( x)  g ( x)]  f '( x)  g '( x)
    dx
    The derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.

    d
    [ f ( x)  g ( x)]  f '( x)  g '( x)
