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 -½ 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
