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 CONSTANT RULE

d
[c] = 0, c is a constant
dx
• THE DERIVATIVE OF A CONSTANT FUNCTION IS
ZERO.
• FIND THE DERIVATIVE OF: CONSTANT RULE

f ( x) = 7 f '( x) = 0
y = −3
dy or y ' = 0
=0
dx
THE POWER RULE

d N N −1
[ x ] = Nx , N is any real number
dx
POWER RULE
• DIFFERENTIATE:

f ( x) = x3 g ( x) = x100
f '( x) = 3 x 2
g '( x) = 100 x 99

y = x9
dy
= 9x 8

dx
THE CONSTANT MULTIPLE RULE
d
[c ( f ( x) )] = c ( f '( x) ) , c is a constant
dx

• THE DERIVATIVE OF A CONSTANT TIMES A FUNCTION IS EQUAL TO


THE CONSTANT TIMES THE DERIVATIVE OF THE FUNCTION.
CONSTANT MULTIPLE RULE
• FIND THE DERIVATIVE OF:

g ( x) = 5 x 7

g '( x) = 35 x 6
CONSTANT MULTIPLE RULE
• FIND THE DERIVATIVE OF:

4 x2 4 2
f ( x) = = x

f '( x) = 54 ( 2x )

IDENTITY FUNCTION RULE
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)
dx
The derivative of a difference is the difference of the derivatives.
SUM & DIFFERENCE RULES
• DIFFERENTIATE:

f ( x) = 5 x + 7 x − 6

g ( x) = 4 x 6 − 3x 5 − 10 x 2 + 5 x + 16
g '( x) = 24x5 −15x 4 −20x +5
