PROBLEM OF THE DAY

Find the derivative

f(x)=(x-5)(x+5)
THE DERIVATIVE
OF A RECIPROCAL
RULE
Let is a differentiable function of x and then,

In words, the derivative of the reciprocal of a

function is the negative of the derivative of the
function divided by the function squared.
Example:

CHAIN RULE
Examples of nondifferentiable and differentiable
functions when used with the chain rule
Not differentiable w/ chain rule Differentiable w/ chain rule
If y is a differentiable function of u and u is a
differentiable function of x, then y can be regarded
as a function of x, and that
Example:
