Answers:
1. Sum Rule: f(x) = p(x) + q(x) Þ f '(x) = p ' (x) + q ' (x)
2. Difference Rule: f(x) = p(x) - q(x) Þ f '(x) = p ' (x) - q ' (x)

Exercises:
Use the sum and difference rules to find the derivatives of the
following functions.
Answers:
Product Rule: f(x) = p(x) • q(x) f '(x) = p ' (x) • q (x) + p (x) • q ' (x)
Verify this result by expanding f(x) and then using the sum and difference
rules. Compare your answer with f ' (x) in its expanded form.
Exercises:
Use the Product Rule to find the derivatives of the following functions.
Answers:
Product Rule: f(x) = p(x) f '(x) = p' (x) • q (x) - p (x) • q ' (x)
q(x) [ q(x) ] 2
Example
f (x) = (x5 - 3x4) f ' (x) = (x2 + 7x)(5x4 - 12x3) - (x5 - 3x4)(2x + 7)
(x2 + 7x) (x2 + 7x)2
Verify this result by expressing f(x ) as (x5 -3x4)(x2 + 7x)-1 and then using the
product rule. Simplify your answer by finding a common denominator. Compare
your answer with f ' (x) in its expanded form.

Calculus Basic Derivatives
For implicitly defined functions, the derivative may be found by first isolating the
dependent variable using algebra, or by using implicit differentiation
Example: find y’ if x2 + y2 = 25
d (x2) + d (y2) = 0
dx dx
2x + 2yy’ = 0
ii) isolate y’ y’ = -x
y
1) xy = 4 2) x3 + y3 = 6 3) x2 + xy + y2 = 1
2x
4) 2x5 + x4y + y5 = 36 5) x + y =1 6) y=
x+y
Answers:
