3.1 Flashcards
The Power Rule
d/dx (xn) = nxn-1
d/dx (xn) =
nxn-1
Derivative of a constant Function
d/dx (c) = 0
d/dx (c) =
0
d/dx (x) =
1
The Power Rule (General Version)
if n is any real number, then
d/dx (xn) = nxn-1
The Constant Multiple Rule
If c is a constant and f is a difdferentiable function, then d/dx [cf(x)] = (c) d/dx f(x)
d/dx [cf(x)] =
(c) d/dx f(x)
The Sum Rule
If f and g are both differentiable, then
d/dx [f(x) + g(x)] = d/dx f(x) + d/dx g(x)
d/dx [f(x) + g(x)] =
d/dx f(x) + d/dx gx)
The Difference Rule
If f and g are both differentiable, then
d/dx [f(x) - g(x)] = d/dx f(x) - d/dx g(x)
d/dx [f(x) - g(x)] =
d/dx f(x) - d/dx g(x)
Definition of the number e
e is the number such that
lim h→0 of (eh - 1)/ h = 1
Derivative of the Natural Exponential function
d/dx (ex) = ex
