Basic rules for differentiation and integration:

d d d
g(x) = f 0 (x) + g 0 (x)


dx f (x) + g(x) = dx f (x) + dx derivative of a sum

d d
f (x) = cf 0 (x)


dx cf (x) = c dx derivative with a constant factor

d
f (x)g(x) = f (x)g 0 (x) + f 0 (x)g(x)


dx derivative of a product
first times derivative of second plus second times derivative of first

d f (x) g(x)f 0 (x) f (x)g 0 (x)

= derivative of a quotient
dx g(x) g 2 (x)
bottom times derivative of top minus top times derivative of bottom, over bottom squared

d
f g(x) = f 0 g(x) g 0 (x)



dx chain rule, or function of a function rule
derivative of the outer function times derivative of the inner function

d
dx f (ax + b) = af 0 (ax + b) special case of the chain rule

f 0 (ax + b) dx = a1 f (ax + b) + C
R
