Definition 1. Differentiation
The rate at which a function changes with respect to the independent variable is called the
derivative of the function.
(i.e) If y= f(x) be a function, where x and y are real variables which are independent and
dy
dependent variables respectively, then the derivative of y with respect to x is dx.
Definition 2. Derivative of addition or subtraction of functions
d[f(x) ± g(x)] d[f(x)] d[g(x)]
If f(x) and g(x) are two functions of x, then = ±
dx dx dx

Definition 3. Product rule

d[uv] d[u] d[v]
If y = uv, where u and v are functions of x, then dx
=v dx
+ u dx

Definition 4. Quotient rule

du dv
u d u v −u
If 𝑦 = , where u and v are functions of x,
v
then dx [v] = dx

III. Differentiation of Implicit functions

If two variables x and y are connected by the relation f(x, y) = 0 and none of the variable is
directly expressed in terms of the other, then the relation is called an implicit function.
