# The Rules of Differentiation

### Constant Rule
If $f(x)=a$ and $a$ is a real number, then

$f'(x)=0$.
### Constant Multiple Rule
If $f(x)=ax$ and $a$ is a real number, then

$f'(x)=a$
### Power Rule
If $f(x)=x^n$ and $n$ is a real number, then

$f'(x)=nx^{n-1}$.
### Product Rule
If $f$ and $g$ are differentiable at $x$, then

$(f*g)'(x)=f(x)g'(x)+g(x)f'(x)$
### Quotient Rule
If $f$ is the quotient $\dfrac{g(x)}{h(x)}$ and $h(x)≠0$, then

$f'(x)=\dfrac{g'(x)h(x)-g(x)h'(x)}{[h(x)]^2}$
### Chain Rule
If $g$ is differentiable at $x$ and $f$ is differentiable at $g(x)$, then

$(f\circ{g})'(x)=f'(g(x))g'(x)$
