The Differentiation Rules for Algebraic Functions

Constant Rule
dy d '
If c is any constant and y=f ( x )=c for all x, then = c=f ( x )=0
dx dx

Example 1: f ( x )=7

Solution: f ' ( x )=0

Power Rule
d n
If y=x n is a power function for some positive integer n, then ( x )=nx x−1 .
dx

Example 2: Find the derivative of f ( x )=x 5

Solution: f ( x )=x 5
f ' ( x )=5 x 5−1

Identity Function Rule


dy
If y=x , then =1.

Example 3: Find the derivative of f ( x )=8 x 6 .

Solution: f ( x )=8 x
f ' ( x )=8 ∙ 6 x 6−1

Sum and Difference Rule


d d d
If f (x) and g(x ) are differentiable functions, then

Product Rule
