Derivative Definition

$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( f\left ( x \right ) \right ) = f'\left ( x \right ) = \lim_{h \to 0}\frac{f\left ( x+h \right )-f\left ( x \right )}{h}$

Basic Properties

$\left ( cf\left ( x \right ) \right )' = c\left ( f'\left ( x \right ) \right )$
$\left ( f\left ( x \right )\pm g\left ( x \right ) \right )' = f'\left ( x \right )\pm g'\left ( x \right )$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( c \right )=0$

Mean Value Theorem

$f'\left ( c \right ) = \frac{f\left ( b \right )-f\left ( a \right )}{b-a}$

Quotient Rule

$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( \frac{f\left ( x \right )}{g\left ( x \right )} \right ) = \frac{f'\left ( x \right )g\left ( x \right )-f\left ( x \right )g'\left ( x \right )}{\left [ g\left ( x \right ) \right ]^{2}}$

Power Rule

$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( x^{n} \right ) = nx^{n-1}$

Chain Rule

$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( f\left ( g\left ( x \right ) \right ) \right ) = f'\left ( g\left ( x \right ) \right )g'\left ( x \right )$

Limit Evaluation Method

$\lim\limits_{x \to -3}\frac{x^{2}-x-12}{x^{2}+3x} = \lim\limits_{x \to -3}\frac{\left ( x+3 \right )\left ( x-4 \right )}{x\left ( x+3 \right )} = \lim\limits_{x \to -3}\frac{\left ( x-4 \right )}{x} = \frac{7}{3}$

L’Hopital’s Rule

$\lim\limits_{x \to a}\frac{f\left ( x \right )}{g\left ( x \right )} = \frac{0}{0} or \frac{\pm \infty }{\pm \infty } then \lim\limits_{x \to a}\frac{f\left ( x \right )}{g\left ( x \right )} = \lim\limits_{x \to a}\frac{f'\left ( x \right )}{g'\left ( x \right )}$
