  2. 3.3 Rules for Differentiation

  3. The derivative of a constant is zero. If the derivative of a function is its slope, then for a constant function, the derivative must be zero. example:

  4. (Pascal’s Triangle) If we find derivatives with the difference quotient: We observe a pattern: …

  5. We observe a pattern: … power rule examples:

  6. constant multiple rule: examples: When we used the difference quotient, we observed that since the limit had no effect on a constant coefficient, that the constant could be factored to the outside.

  7. constant multiple rule: This makes sense, because: sum and difference rules: (Each term is treated separately)

  8. Horizontal tangents occur when slope = zero. Example: Find the horizontal tangents of: Plugging the x values into the original equation, we get: (The function is even, so we only get two horizontal tangents.)

  9. First derivative (slope) is zero at:

  10. Product Rule: We can use the definition of derivative to find a formula for the derivative of a product. This would work: We need to rewrite this as a limit that we can evaluate.

  11. Product Rule: We can use the definition of derivative to find a formula for the derivative of a product. This would work: If we subtract we can factor factor out .

  12. Product Rule: We can use the definition of derivative to find a formula for the derivative of a product. If we subtract we can factor But if we subtract will need to factor out . add it back in.

  13. Product Rule: We can use the definition of derivative to find a formula for the derivative of a product. We are going to subtract and add the same expression to the limit:

  14. Using the distributive property: The limit of a product = the product of the limits: Evaluating the limits: Substituting u and v, we get a formula for the derivative of a product: We are going to use this order to be consistent with the quotient rule (next) and with the derivative of cross products (next year.) Many calculus books (including ours) give this formula with the terms in a different order.

  15. Product Rule: Notice that this is not just the product of two derivatives. This is sometimes memorized as:

  16. Quotient rule: Once again we can use the definition of derivative to find a formula. Clearing the complex fraction: Again we are going to subtract and add the same expression:

  17. Factoring each side of the numerator and factoring the denominator: The limit of a product = the product of the limits: (and evaluating this limit:) Evaluating the limits: Substituting u and v, we get the formula for the derivative of a quotient:

  18. Quotient Rule: or

  19. is the first derivative of y with respect to x. is the second derivative. is the third derivative. is the fourth derivative. Higher Order Derivatives: (y double prime) We will learn later what these higher order derivatives are used for. p
