Business Calculus Derivatives
1.5 – 1.7 Derivative Rules • Linear Rule: • Constant Rule: • Power Rule: • Coefficient Rule: • Sum/Difference Rule:
If a function does not look like one of the rules, we must rewrite the function so that it does. • Applications • When asked for the rate at which a quantity is growing or • declining between two values, this is an average rate of change. • When asked for the rate of change at a single value, use the • derivative.
More derivative rules 1.6 Product Rule: Product Rule: "derivative of the first times the second + the first times the derivative of the second"
1.6 Quotient Rule: Quotient Rule: “denominator times the derivative of the numerator minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the denominator squared”
1.7 The Chain Rule : "The derivative of the outside times the derivative of the inside."
1.8 Higher Order Derivatives The second derivative is found by taking the derivative of the first derivative. • Notation for the second derivative of y = f (x): • 1. 2. 3. 4. • Notation for the third derivative of y = f (x): • 1. 2. 3. 4.
