    Study Notes

    Derivative of a Function

    • The derivative of a function 𝑓(𝑥) is the limit of the ratio of the change in the function value to the change in 𝑥, as the change in 𝑥 approaches zero.
    • The derivative can be represented as 𝑓′(𝑥) or 𝑑𝑓/𝑑𝑥.
    • The derivative of a function can be used to find the rate of change of the function with respect to 𝑥.

    Differentiation Rules

    • The derivative of a product of functions is the product of their derivatives.
