What Are The Rules of Differentiation?: Product Rule

The product rule states that the derivative of a product of two functions u(x) and v(x) is: f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x) The quotient rule gives the derivative of a function that is a quotient of two functions u(x) and v(x) as: f'(x) = (u(x)v'(x) - v(x)u'(x))/v(x)^2 The chain rule expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g as: f'(g(x))⋅g'(x)

> Product Rule

In calculus, differentiation is one of the two important concepts As per the product rule, if the function f(x) is
apart from integration. Differentiation is a method of finding the product of two functions u(x) and v(x), the
derivative of a function. Differentiation is a process, in Math, derivative of the function is,
where we find the instantaneous rate of change in function based
on one of its variables. If , f ( x )=u ( x ) • v ( x)
' ' '
then , f ( x )=u ( x ) • v ( x ) •u ( x ) • v (x )

The basic differentiation rules that need to be


followed are as follows: If the function f(x) is in the form of two
functions [u(x)]/[v(x)], the derivative of the

“CHAIN
RULE”
In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the
derivative of the composition of two differentiable
functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g.

The chain rule states that the derivative of


f(g(x)) is f'(g(x))⋅g'(x). In other words, it
helps us differentiate *composite functions*.
For example, sin(x²) is a composite function
because it can be constructed as f(g(x)) for
f(x)=sin(x) and g(x)=x².
