The derivative is the
rate
at which
y changes
with
respect
to
x.
If f(x) = x^2, then its derivative is f'(x) =
2x
If h(u) = u^4 -
6u
^
2
+
8u
, then its derivative is

If g(t) = t^3 +

constant rule where (1) if f(x)=c THEN
f'(x)=0
sum rule where (1) if f(x)=g(x)+h(x) THEN
f'(x)=g'(x)+h'(x)
Power rule where f(x) =x^n THEN f'(x)=

Constant times a function rule f(x)=c.g(x) where c=
constant
and g=
differentiable

f'(x)=cg'(x)

product rule where (1) if f(x)=u(x).v(x) THEN f'(x)=
u(x).v'(x)+u'(x).v(x)

sum or difference if f(x)= u(x) +- v(x) THEN f'(x)=
u'(x)+- v'(x)

Quotient rule is f(x) = u(x)/v(x) where u&v are

power rule is f(X)=[u(x)]^n then f'(X)=

base exponential functions f(X)=e^nx THEN f'(X) =

natural logarithm function f(x)=ln n(X) THEN f'(

chain rule is Y=F(U) AND U=G(X) THEN

f y = [t^2 -t+3] then y(U)=u^-10 THEN dy/du =
