 Continuity and Differentiability
DERIVATIVE DEFINITION
Continuity of function, f(x) at
a point a

BASIC PROPERTIES
(cf(x))’ = c(f’(x))
f(x) ± g(x))’ = f’(x) ± g’(x)

Continuity of function, f(x) in MEAN VALUE THEOREM

an interval [a, b] If f is differentiable on the interval (a, b) and
continuous at the end points there exists a c in
(a, b) such that

PRODUCT RULE
(f(x) g(x))’ = f(x)’ g(x) + f(x) g(x)’

QUOTIENT RULE
Algebra of continuous
functions
If f and g are two continuous
functions at a point c, then POWER RULE
1. f ± g is continuous at c
2. f.g is continuous at c
CHAIN RULE
4. gof is continuous at c
