SUB TOPIC: RULES OF DIFFERENTIATION

DERIVATIVE OF A SUM

Supposing and are functions of such that: ;

then,

Hence, the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.

Similarly, the derivative of a different is the different of the derivative.

That is:

Examples:

  1. find the differential coefficient of 63

solution:

636352

  1. Differentiate with respect to , 2

Solution:

22

FUNCTION OF A FUNCTION

Given that is a function of and itself is also a function of , then the derivative of with respect to can be find using this method:

this method is also called CHAIN RULE.

Example:

  1. Differentiate 2

Solution:

Let 2 ½

½ – 1 2

  1. Find with respect to 2

DERIVATIVE OF A QUOTIENT FUNCTION

If are both functions of then:

V2

This formula is called quotient rule.

Example:

Find the derivative of

Solution:

Let

(x+1)2

Simplify the above to the minimum value.
