Chain Rule

• Take derivative of outside of parenthesis
• Take derivative of inside parenthesis and keep the original of what was in the parenthesis
• For example, sin(x²+1)→ 2xcos(x²+1)

Product Rule

d/dx first times second + first times d/dx second

Quotient Rule

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

• ∫(a to b) f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
• Basically saying that F’(x)=f(x)

f relative max→f ‘ goes from

Positive to negative

f relative min→f ‘ goes from

Negative to positive
