Constant Rule

d/dx ( c ) = 0

Power Rule

d/dx (xⁿ) = n * x^n-1

Constant Multiple Rule

d/dx (cxⁿ) = c * d/dx (xⁿ)

Sum/Difference Rule

d/dx (u ± v) = d/dx u ± d/dx v

Product Rule

d/dx (uv) = uv’ + vu’

The Quotient Rule

d/dx (u/v) = (vu’ - uv’) / (v²)

definition of derivative (equation)

f’(x) = lim (h→0) = (f(x+h) -f(x) )/ h

alternate definition of derivative (at a point)

f’(c )= lim(x→ c) (f(x) - f(c ))/ (x-c)
