Derivative Rules Tutor Help
The three rules that differentiate almost everything: the product rule for multiplied chunks, the quotient rule for fractions, and the chain rule for functions inside functions. Master these and every derivative becomes bookkeeping.

The essentials of Product, Quotient & Chain Rules, on one screen.
(fg)′ = f′g + fg′ — use when two expressions in x are multiplied.
(f/g)′ = (g·f′ − f·g′)/g2 —
“low d-high minus high d-low, over low squared.”
d/dx[F(u(x))] = F′(u) · u′(x) — outer′ times inner′. Never drop the inner derivative.
