Study Notes

Differentiation Rules

Product Rule

  • The product rule is used to find the derivative of a product of two functions.
  • The formula is: ddx(u∗v)=u∗dvdx+v∗dudx\frac{d}{dx} (u * v) = u * \frac{dv}{dx} + v * \frac{du}{dx}dxd​(u∗v)=u∗dxdv​+v∗dxdu​
  • This rule can be generalized to find the derivative of a product of n functions: ddx(u1∗u2∗...∗un)=∑i=1nu1∗...∗ui−1∗duidx∗ui+1∗...∗un\frac{d}{dx} (u_1 * u_2 *...* u_n) = \sum_{i=1}^n u_1 *...* u_{i-1} * \frac{du_i}{dx} * u_{i+1} *...* u_ndxd​(u1​∗u2​∗...∗un​)=∑i=1n​u1​∗...∗ui−1​∗dxdui​​∗ui+1​∗...∗un​

Quotient Rule

  • The quotient rule is used to find the derivative of a quotient of two functions.
  • The formula is: ddx(uv)=v∗dudx−u∗dvdxv2\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{v * \frac{du}{dx} - u * \frac{dv}{dx}}{v^2}dxd​(vu​)=v2v∗dxdu​−u∗dxdv​​
  • This rule can be derived from the product rule and the chain rule.

Sum Rule

  • The sum rule is used to find the derivative of a sum of two functions.
  • The formula is: ddx(u+v)=dudx+dvdx\frac{d}{dx} (u + v) = \frac{du}{dx} + \frac{dv}{dx}dxd​(u+v)=dxdu​+dxdv​
  • This rule can be generalized to find the derivative of a sum of n functions: ddx(u1+u2+...+un)=du1dx+du2dx+...+dundx\frac{d}{dx} (u_1 + u_2 +...+ u_n) = \frac{du_1}{dx} + \frac{du_2}{dx} +...+ \frac{du_n}{dx}dxd​(u1​+u2​+...+un​)=dxdu1​​+dxdu2​​+...+dxdun​​

Chain Rule

  • The chain rule is used to find the derivative of a composite function.
  • The formula is: dydx=dydu∗dudx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du} * \frac{du}{dx}dxdy​=dudy​∗dxdu​
  • This rule can be generalized to find the derivative of a composite function of n functions: dydx=dydun∗dundun−1∗...∗du2du1∗du1dx\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du_n} * \frac{du_n}{du_{n-1}} *...* \frac{du_2}{du_1} * \frac{du_1}{dx}dxdy​=dun​dy​∗dun−1​dun​​∗...∗du1​du2​​∗dxdu1​​

Power Rule

  • The power rule is used to find the derivative of a function of the form y=xny = x^ny=xn.
  • The formula is: dydx=n∗xn−1\frac{dy}{dx} = n * x^{n-1}dxdy​=n∗xn−1
  • This rule can be generalized to find the derivative of a function of the form y=uny = u^ny=un, where uuu is a function of xxx: dydx=n∗un−1∗dudx\frac{dy}{dx} = n * u^{n-1} * \frac{du}{dx}dxdy​=n∗un−1∗dxdu​ (chain rule and power rule combined)
