    The document defines derivatives and provides rules for determining the derivative of various functions. It introduces the concept of a derivative and gives an alternative definition. It then lists 7 differentiation rules: the constant rule, power rule, constant multiple rule, sum and difference rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule - which provide methods for calculating the derivatives of basic functions like constants, powers, sums, differences, products, quotients, and compositions of functions.

    DEFINITION of DERIVATIVE

    ALTERNATIVE DEFINITION of DERIVATIVE

    DIFFERENTIATION RULE
    Rule#1 The Constant Rule
    If f(x)=C, Where “C” is constant, then f’(x)=0. The derivating of a constant is equal to zero.
    f(x)=C => f’(x)=0
    Rule#2 The Power Rule
    If f(x)=x^n, then f’(x)=nx^(n-1)

    Rule#3 The Constant Multiple Rule


    If f(x)=k*h(x), where “k” is constant, then f’(x)=k*h’(x)
    F(x)=k*h(x) => f’(x)=k*h’(x)
    Rule#4 The Derivative of a sum of a difference
    f(x)=g(x)±h(x) => f’(x)=g’(x)±h’(x)
    Rule#5 Product Rule
    f(x)=g(x)h(x) => f’(x)=h(x)g’(x)+g(x)h’(x)
    Rule#6 Quotient Rule
    Rule#7 Chain Rule
