Derivatives Flashcards
The Product Rule
1Dx2+2Dx1
Derivative by definition formula
f(x)=limit f(x+h)-f(x)/h
h->0
Step 1: every (x) gets replaced by (x+h)
Step 2: subtract original function
Step 3: divide by h
Step 4: plug in 0 for h
The Quotient Rule
LoDxHi-HiDxLo/LoLo
The Chain Rule
Dx of outside…don’t change the inside…times the Dx of inside
Trig Rule
Dxtrig times the box…Dx of box
e^x
e to the box times the Dx of box
Y=ln◽️
1/◽️ times Dx◽️
Tangent Line at given point
Derivative…plug in x-value….point-slope form
Normal line to the function at given point
Derivative…plug in x-value…-(reciprocal)…point-slope form
Absolute extrema
[closed points]
Derivative…set equal to zero for critical points…plug critical points and end values[ ] into original equation…see greatest and least for max and min
Ln(ab)
lna+lab
Ln(a/b)
lna-lnb
Lna^b
