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.

1 Concept recap

The essentials of Product, Quotient & Chain Rules, on one screen.

Rule 1 Product rule

(fg)′ = f′g + fg′ — use when two expressions in x are multiplied.

Rule 2 Quotient rule

(f/g)′ = (g·f′ − f·g′)/g2 —
“low d-high minus high d-low, over low squared.”

Rule 3 Chain rule

d/dx[F(u(x))] = F′(u) · u′(x) — outer′ times inner′. Never drop the inner derivative.
