    D DX C) 0: Rules of Derivatives Constant Rule

    Uploaded by

    ruthanne022
    This document outlines four fundamental rules of derivatives: 1) The constant rule - the derivative of any constant is zero. 2) The product rule - the derivative of two functions multiplied is the sum of the derivatives of each function multiplied by the other. 3) The quotient rule - the derivative of two functions divided uses the denominator squared. 4) The chain rule - taking the derivative of a composite function involves multiplying the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function.

    Rules of Derivatives

    Constant Rule
    The derivative of every constant is zero.
    d
    (c )=0
    dx

    Product Rule
    It is the product of the first term and the derivative of the second term plus the
    product of the derivative of the first term and the second term.
    d
    [ f ( x ) g ( x ) ] =f ( x ) g ' ( x )+ f ' ( x ) g(x)
    dx
    Example:
    '
    Find f (x ) of

    f ' ( x ) = ( 3 x 2)

    f ( x )=( 3 x 2 ) (7 x 3)

    d
    ( 7 x 3 ) + d ( 3 x 2) ( 7 x 3 )
    dx
    dx

    Step one: Find the derivatives of the second term and the first term using
    the power rule. Bring the power in front then reduce the power by 1.
    d
    ( 7 x3 ) =21 x2
    dx
    d
    ( 3 x2 ) =6 x
    dx
    '
    2
    3
    3
    So f ( x )=( 3 x ) ( 21 x ) + ( 6 x ) ( 7 x )

    Step two: Find the product.


    f ' ( x )=( 63 x 4 ) + ( 42 x 4 )
    Step three: Find the sum.

    f ' ( x )=105 x 4

    Quotient Rule
    It is the quantity of the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus
    the numerator times the derivative of the denominator all over the denominator squared.

    [ ]

    '

    '

    d f ( x ) g ( x ) f xf ( x ) g ( x )
    =
    2
    dx g ( x )
    g (x)

    Example:
    Differentiate the quotient
    3

    f ( x )=

    '

    f ( x )=

    x
    x+ 4

    ( x + 4)

    d 3
    ( x ) ( x 3 ) d (x +4)
    dx
    dx
    2
    (x +4)

    Step one: Find the derivatives of the numerator and the denominator.
    d 3
    ( x )=3 x 2
    dx

    By using the power rule.

    d
    ( x+ 4 ) =1
    dx

    By using the sum rule.

    ( x + 4 ) ( 3 x 2) ( x 3 ) (1)
    2
    So f ( x )=
    ( x+ 4)
    '

    f ' ( x )=

    3 x +12 x x
    2
    (x+ 4)
    3

    2 x +12 x
    '
    f ( x )= 2
    x +8 x +16

    Chain Rule
    The chain rule is used to differentiate composite functions. It is taking the
    derivative of outside function times the inside function, and multiplying it by the
    derivative of the inside function.
    F ( x )=f (g ( x ) )

    F' ( x ) =f ' ( g ( x ) ) g' ( x)


    Example:
    2

    F ( x )=( x +3)

    Step one: Substitute g for g(x) in f(x) to yield the original function.
    f ( x )=g7
    g ( x ) =(x 2 +3)
    So,
    F' ( x ) =

    d
    d
    ( g )7 ( x2 +3)
    dx
    dx
    Step two: Find the derivative of the outside function and the inside

    function.

    d
    ( g )7=7(g)6
    dx
    d 2
    ( x +3 )=2 x
    dx
    So,
    F' ( x ) =7 ( g )62 x
    Step three: Substitute g(x) back in for g.
    6

    F' ( x ) =7 ( x 2+3 ) 2 x
    F' ( x ) =14 x ( x 2 +3 )
