Derive y = e^(3x).

Back

The derivative is 3e^(3x).

Front

What is the chain rule in differentiation?

Back

The chain rule states that if a function y = f(g(x)), then dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x).

Front

What is the product rule in differentiation?

Back

The product rule states that if u and v are functions of x, then d(uv)/dx = u'v + uv'.

Front

What is the quotient rule in differentiation?

Back

The quotient rule states that if u and v are functions of x, then d(u/v)/dx = (u'v - uv')/v^2.

Front

What is the derivative of a^x where a is a constant?

Back

The derivative of a^x is a^x * ln(a).

Front

What is the derivative of log_a(x)?

Back

The derivative of log_a(x) is 1/(x * ln(a)).
