This document discusses the rules of differentiation, including that the derivative of a constant is zero, the power rule states the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1), the derivative of a constant multiple of a function is the constant times the derivative of the function, and the sum rule for taking the derivative of a sum of functions.

• Basic rules of Differentiation • Four Basic Rules d (c ) 0 • Rule 1: Derivative of a Constant dx • Rule 2: The Power Rule • If n is any number, then • Rule 3: Derivative of a Constant Multiple of a function
