Section 3.2 Basic Differentiation Rules and Rates of Change
The Constant Rule The derivative of a constant function is 0. In other words, if c is a real number, then
The Power Rule: If n is a rational number, then the function is differentiable and (be careful at x=0) The Constant Multiple Rule: (if f is a differentiable function.)
The Sum and Difference Rules If f and g are differentiable, then their sum and difference are also differentiable. Furthermore,
