  2. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. Let () = (), where both f and g are differentiable and () The quotient rule states that the derivative of h(x) is

  3. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    The logarithmic derivative is another way of stating the rule for differentiating the logarithm of a function (using the chain rule): (⁡) ′ = ′, wherever is positive. Logarithmic differentiation is a technique which uses logarithms and its differentiation rules to simplify certain expressions before actually applying the derivative.

  4. Power rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

    The power rule for integrals was first demonstrated in a geometric form by Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri in the early 17th century for all positive integer values of , and during the mid 17th century for all rational powers by the mathematicians Pierre de Fermat, Evangelista Torricelli, Gilles de Roberval, John Wallis, and Blaise ...

  5. Logarithmic derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_derivative

    In summary, both derivatives and logarithms have a product rule, a reciprocal rule, a quotient rule, and a power rule (compare the list of logarithmic identities); each pair of rules is related through the logarithmic derivative.

  6. Differentiation of trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_of...

    All derivatives of circular trigonometric functions can be found from those of sin(x) and cos(x) by means of the quotient rule applied to functions such as tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). Knowing these derivatives, the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions are found using implicit differentiation .

  7. Reciprocal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_rule

    In calculus, the reciprocal rule gives the derivative of the reciprocal of a function f in terms of the derivative of f. The reciprocal rule can be used to show that the power rule holds for negative exponents if it has already been established for positive exponents. Also, one can readily deduce the quotient rule from the reciprocal rule and ...

  8. Discrete calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_calculus

    Discrete calculus or the calculus of discrete functions, is the mathematical study of incremental change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

  9. Vector calculus identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus_identities

    Another method of deriving vector and tensor derivative identities is to replace all occurrences of a vector in an algebraic identity by the del operator, provided that no variable occurs both inside and outside the scope of an operator or both inside the scope of one operator in a term and outside the scope of another operator in the same term ...
