Differentiation Rules

  1. $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ c f(x) \right] = c f'(x)$
  2. $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ f(x) + g(x) \right] = f'(x) + g'(x)$ and $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ f(x) - g(x) \right] = f'(x) - g'(x)$
  3. $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ f(x) g(x) \right] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x) g'(x)$
  4. $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} \right]
= \frac{f'(x)g(x) - f(x) g'(x)}{[g(x)]^2}$ and $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ \frac{1}{f(x)} \right]
= - \frac{f'(x)}{[f(x)]^2}$
  5. $ \displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}\left[ f(g(x)) \right]
= f'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)$ or $ \displaystyle\frac{dy}{dx}
= \displaystyle\frac{dy}{du} \cdot \displaystyle\frac{du}{dx}$ with $ y = f(u)$ and $ u = g(x)$
