can someone explain me the derivative rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all 7 rules

OpenStudy (anonymous):

type them lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

power rule for multiple integer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@dan815

OpenStudy (dan815):

bswan i thought swan7 was you at first

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay swan there are a couple basic derivative rules

OpenStudy (dan815):

Ill call d/dx = D D(X^n) = n*X^(n-1) ----> comes from first principal doing binomial expansion and simplfying

OpenStudy (dan815):

principles*

OpenStudy (dan815):

D(f*g) where; D=d/dx and f and g are functions of x = f' g + g' f

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no she is not me lol xD im the origion xD

OpenStudy (dan815):

D(f)^n ; where f = function of x, D=d/dx = n*(f)^(n-1) * f'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought she was me too :P

OpenStudy (dan815):

cause i saw her when she first came on and the only fan she had was ganeshi... so i was like must be bswan

OpenStudy (dan815):

@swan7 are you following those rules so far, want me to keep going

OpenStudy (dan815):

another general one is the division rule, but that can be generalized to the product rule

OpenStudy (dan815):

other than that theres the derivatives with log and ln and e and the cos and sin functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me how will i know to apply it in any particular question

OpenStudy (dan815):

oaky do these 3 problems D(2x^4) D(3(2x-1)^2) D(2x^4 * 3(2x-1)^2)

OpenStudy (dan815):

ill change it to that instead

OpenStudy (dan815):

try doing those 3 problems first

OpenStudy (dan815):

D=d/dx, diff wrt to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8x 12x-0 8x(24x)

OpenStudy (dan815):

what xD

OpenStudy (dan815):

use the 3 first rules of differentiation i showed you power rule, chain rule and product rule

OpenStudy (dan815):

power Rule D(X^n) = nX^(n-1) Chain Rule D(F^n) = nF^(n-1) * F' ; where F is a function of X Product Rule D(F G) = F' G + G' F ; where G and F are functions of x

OpenStudy (dan815):

Probelms D(2x^4) D(3(2x-1)^2) D(2x^4 * 3(2x-1)^2)

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok try again
