TECHNIQUES OF DEFFERNTIATION BASIC DERIVATIVE RULES Use various forms of derivative notation Use the Constant Rule, Power Rule, Constant Multiple Rule, and Sum and Difference Rule to find the derivative of a function T HE PRODUCT AND QUOTIENT RULES Use the Product Rule and Quotient Rule to find the derivative of a function THE CHAIN RULE Use the Chain Rule to find the derivative of a function EXPONENTIAL AND LOGARITHMIC RULES Use the Exponential Rule and Logarithmic Rule to find the derivative of a function IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION Use implicit differentiation to differentiate functions and nonfunctions
Basic Derivative Rules DERIVATIVE NOTATION The derivative of a function may be represented by any of the following: , read “f prime of x” , read “y prime” , read “dee why dee ex” or “the derivative of y with respect to x”
