The Product Rule
Posted by admin on Monday, 2 June 2014
This shortcut is a little more complicated that the ones on the previous page. It is called the Product Rule.
$$ f'( f(x) g(x) ) = { f(x) f'( g(x) ) + g(x) f'( f(x) ) } $$
The derivative of the product of two functions is the first function times the derivative of the second, plus the second function times the derivative of the first.
