 Constant Function Rule:

The derivative of a constant is zero.

d
c  0
dx
 Power Rule:
The derivative of f(x) = x n where n is a constant real number is given by
If f(x) = xn , then f’(x) = n*x(n-1)

 Sum and Difference Rule:

The derivative of the sum or difference of two functions is the sum or difference of the derivatives
if f(x) = g(x) + h(x), then f'(x) = g'(x) + h'(x)
f(x) = g(x) - h(x), then f'(x) = g'(x) - h'(x)
 Quotient Rule:
The derivative of a quotient is the denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator
times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the denominator squared
𝑔(𝑥) 𝑔(𝑥)𝑓′ (𝑥)−𝑓(𝑥)𝑔′ (𝑥)
If f(x) = 𝑓(𝑥) , then f'(x) = [𝑔(𝑥)]2
 Product Rule:
The derivative of a product is the first factor times the derivative of the second factor plus the second factor
times the derivative of the first factor.
If f(x) = f(x)*g(x), then f'(x) = f(x)g’(x)+g(x)f’(x)
 Chain Rule:
The chain rule applies whenever we have a function that is formed from two simpler functions in this.
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(ℎ (𝑥))
𝑓′(𝑥) = 𝑔′ (ℎ (𝑥))ℎ′ (𝑥)
