(b) of the form [f(x)]g(x) where f and g are both derivable functions.
It is convenient to take the logarithm of the function first and then differentiate.

Higher Order Derivatives


Let a function y = f (x) be defined on an interval (a, b). If f (x) is differentiable function, then its
derivative f '(x) [or (dy/dx) or y'] is called the first derivative of y w.r.t. x. If f '(x) is again differentiable
function on (a, b), then its derivative f "(x) [or d 2y/dx2 or y"] is called second derivative of y w.r.t. x.

Differentiation of Determinants

f(x) g(x) h(x)


If F(x) = (x) m(x) n(x) , where f, g, h , m, n, u, v, w are differentiable functions of x then
u(x) v(x) w(x)

f '(x) g '(x) h'(x) f(x) g(x) h(x) f(x) g(x) h(x)


F'(x) = (x) m(x) n(x) + '(x) m'(x) n'(x) + (x) m(x) n(x)
u(x) v(x) w(x) u(x) v(x) w(x) u'(x) v '(x) w'(x)

Note: Sometimes it is better to expand the determinant first and then differentiate.

the point 'a' itself and g'(x)  0, and if

(b) Indeterminate forms of the type 0. or   are reduced to forms of the type or
