3.3 Differentiation Rules
2
If the derivative of a function is its slope,
then for a constant function, the derivative must
be zero.
example
Put this on your formula card.
3
If we find derivatives with the definition of
the derivative
We observe a pattern

5
constant multiple rule
examples
When we used the difference quotient, we observed
that since the limit had no effect on a constant
coefficient, that the constant could be factored
to the outside.

sum and difference rules
(Each term is treated separately)

Example
Find the horizontal tangents of
Plugging the x values into the original equation,
we get
(The function is even, so we only get two
horizontal tangents.)

Notice that this is not just the product of two
derivatives.
product rule
How we say it.1 dee 2 2 dee 1
This is sometimes memorized as

Higher Order Derivatives
(y double prime)
We will learn later what these higher order
derivatives are used for.
