3.3 Dfferetato Rules 1 Capter 3. Dfferetato 3.3 Dfferetato Rules Dervatve of a Costat Fucto. If f as te costat value f(x) = c, te f x = [c] = 0. x Proof. From te efto: f (x) f(x + ) f(x) o c c 0 = 0. QED Power Rule for Postve Itegers If s a postve teger, te x [x ] = x 1. Note. Before we preset te proof of te Power Rule, we trouce te Bomal Teorem.

3.3 Dfferetato Rules 4 Note. Te state of te Geeral Verso of te Power Rule s a bt premature. I fact, eve efg wat t meas to ave a rratoal expoet requres te use of expoetal fuctos. Noe-te-less, te text states t ow! Dervatve Costat Multple Rule If u s a fferetable fucto of x, a c s a costat, te [cu] = cu x x. Dervatve Sum Rule If u a v are fferetable fuctos of x, te ter sum u + v s fferetable at every pot were u a v are bot fferetable. At suc pots, u [u + v] = x x + v x. Note. Te proofs of te Dervatve Costat Multple Rule a te Dervatve Sum Rule follow from te correspog rules for lmts (amely, te Costat Multple Rule a te Sum Rule, respectvely).

We ow fferetate a expoetal fucto f(x) = a x were a > 0. By efto, f (x) f(x + ) f(x) a x+ a x a x a a x a xa 1 = a x lm a 1. a 1 We clam wtout justfcato tat lm exsts a s some umber L a epeet o a.

3.3 Dfferetato Rules 7 Example. Dfferetate f(x) = x + 5e x. Dervatve Prouct Rule If u a v are fferetable at x, te so s ter prouct uv, a u [uv] = x x v + uv x = [u ]v + u[v ]. Proof. By efto we ave: u(x + )v(x + ) u(x)v(x) [uv] x u(x + )v(x + ) u(x + )v(x) + u(x + )v(x) u(x)v(x) v(x + ) v(x) u(x + ) u(x) u(x + ) + v(x) v(x + ) v(x) u(x + ) lm = u(x)[v (x)] + [u (x)]v(x). + v(x) lm u(x + ) u(x) were lm u(x + ) = u(x) sce u s cotuous at x by Teorem 1 of secto 2.1. QED Example. Dfferetate f(x) = (4x 3 5x 2 + 4)(7x 2 x).
