Example Question #392 : Ap Calculus Bc
Given:
Find f'(x):
Computation of the derivative requires the use of the Product Rule and Chain Rule.
The Product Rule is used in a scenario when one has two differentiable functions multiplied by each other:
This can be easily stated in words as: "First times the derivative of the second, plus the second times the derivative of the first."
In the problem statement, we are given:
is the "First" function, and is the "Second" function.
The "Second" function requires use of the Chain Rule.
When:
Applying these formulas results in:
Simplifying the terms inside the brackets results in:
We notice that there is a common term that can be factored out in the sets of equations on either side of the "+" sign. Let's factor these out, and make the equation look "cleaner".
Inside the brackets, it is possible to clean up the terms into one expanded function. Let us do this:
Simplifying this results in one of the answer choices:
Example Question #5 : Derivative Review
What is the value of the limit below?
Recall that one definition for the derivative of a function is .
This means that this question is asking us to find the value of the derivative of at .
Since
and , the value of the limit is .
Example Question #3 : Derivatives
Evaluation of this integral requires use of the Product Rule. One must also need to recall the form of the derivative of .
Product Rule:
Applying these two rules results in:
This matches one of the answer choices.
Example Question #6 : Derivative Review
Use the definition of the derivative to solve for .
In order to find , we need to remember how to find by using the definition of derivative.
Definition of Derivative:
Now lets apply this to our problem.
Now lets expand the numerator.
We can simplify this to
Now factor out an h to get
We can simplify and then evaluate the limit.

In order to find , we need to remember how to find by using the definition of derivative.
Definition of Derivative:
Now lets apply this to our problem.
Now lets expand the numerator.
We can simplify this to
Now factor out an h to get
We can simplify and then evaluate the limit.
Example Question #11 : Derivatives
Use the definition of the derivative to solve for .
In order to find , we need to remember how to find by using the definition of derivative.
Definition of Derivative:
Now lets apply this to our problem.
Now lets expand the numerator and simplify.
Now factor out an h to get
We can simplify and then evaluate the limit.
Example Question #12 : Derivative Review
Using the limit definition of a derivative, find the derivative of the function:
The limit definition of a derivative is as follows:
where h represents a very small change in x.
Now, when we use the above formula for the given function, we get
which simplified becomes
Example Question #13 : Derivative Review
Using the limit definition of a derivative, find the derivative of the following function at :
The limit definition of a derivative is
where h is a very small change in x.
Using the above formula but with the function given, we get
which simplified becomes
Regardless of the x-value of the function, the derivative will always be 1 (the above contains no x).
Example Question #11 : Derivatives
Using the limit definition of a derivative, find the derivative of the following function:
The limit definition of a derivative is
where h represents a very small change in x.
Now, use the above formula for the function given:
which simplified becomes
