MTH 104 Calculus and Analytical Geometry Lecture # 8
Techniques of differentiation 1. Constant Function Rule: The derivative of a constant function is zero. y = f(x) = c where c is a constant Examples
Techniques of differentiation 2. Power Rule: Let , where the dependant variable x is raised to a constant value, the power n, then Examples
Techniques of differentiation 3. Constant Multiplied by a Function Rule: Let y be equal to the product of a constant c and some function f(x), such that y = cf(x) then Examples
4. Sum (Difference) Rule: Let y be the sum (difference) of two functions (differentiable) f(x)andg(x). y = f(x) + g(x), then Techniques of differentiation Examples
Techniques of differentiation Example Find dy/dx if solution
Techniques of differentiation Example At what points, if any does the graph of have a horizontal tangent line? solution Slope of horizontal line is zero that is dy/dx=0
Techniques of differentiation 4. Product Rule: Let y = f(x).g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are two differentiable functions of the variable x. Then
Techniques of differentiation Example Find dy/dx, if solution
Techniques of differentiation 5. Quotient Rule: Let y = f(x)/g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are two differentiable functions of the variable x and g(x)≠ 0. Then
