B Derivative rules
For the calculation of the derivative, specific rules depending on the original function have to be applied:
Function | Derivative | Rule |
---|---|---|
f(x)=xn | f′(x)=n⋅xn−1 | Power rule |
f(x)=g(x)±h(x) | f′(x)=g′(x)±h′(x) | Sum and difference rule |
f(x)=g(x)⋅h(x) | f′(x)=g′(x)⋅h(x)+g(x)⋅h′(x) | Product rule |
f(x)=g(x)h(x) | f′(x)=g′(x)⋅h(x)−g(x)⋅h′(x)(h(x))2 | Quotient rule |
f(x)=h(g(x)) | f′(x)=h′(g(x))⋅g′(x) | Chain rule |
