What is the Chain Rule in differentiation?

Back

The Chain Rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. It states that if you have a function f(g(x)), then the derivative f'(g(x)) * g'(x).

Differentiate f(x) = (9 - 4x^2)^-1

Back

f'(x) = 8x/(9 - 4x^2)^2

Differentiate f(x) = (x^6 + 4)^5

Back

f'(x) = 30x^5(x^6 + 4)^4

Front

Differentiate f(x) = (6x^2 - 5x)^7

Back

f'(x) = 7(6x^2 - 5x)^6(12x - 5)

Front

Differentiate f(x) = 7(3x + 4)^5

Back

f'(x) = 105(3x + 4)^4

Front

Differentiate f(x) = (x^2 + 1)^6

Back

f'(x) = 12x(x^2 + 1)^5

What is the derivative of a constant function?

Back

The derivative of a constant function is zero.

Front

What is the power rule in differentiation?

Back

The power rule states that if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = n*x^(n-1).

Front

What is the product rule in differentiation?

Back

The product rule states that if you have two functions u(x) and v(x), then the derivative of their product is u'v + uv'.

Front

What is the quotient rule in differentiation?

Back

The quotient rule states that if you have two functions u(x) and v(x), then the derivative of their quotient is (u'v - uv')/v^2.
