calc midterm 2 Flashcards
Product Rule
f’g + fg’
Quotient Rule
f’g - fg’ / g^2
Chain Rule
f’(g) * g’
With Chain Rule, it goes
derivative of outer, keep inner, derivative of outer, keep inner, derivative of inner
Whenever you see a function raised to a power, do
the CHAIN RULE
Ex: (x+2)⁴
What step to do first when seeing a question like this:
(3t - 1)⁴ (2x+1)⁻³
Do the product rule first
When the question asks for f’(x), do
implicit differentiation
y’ whenever taking the derivative of y
With implicit differentiation, you must
take the derivative of both sides of the equation
SOLVE FOR Y’
(ab)ᵐ
aᵐ * bᵐ
(a/b)ᵐ
aᵐ / bᵐ
(a/b)⁻ᵐ
bᵐ / aᵐ = (b/a)ᵐ
a⁻ᵐ / b⁻ᵖ
bᵖ / aᵐ
If function fails horizontal line test, then
it’s NOT one-to-one
logₐ X = y is equivalent to
aʸ = X
logₐ (XY) =
logₐ X + logₐ Y
logₐ (X/Y) =
logₐ X – logₐ Y
logₐ Xᴿ
R logₐ X
