Remember y y x here, so products/quotients of x and y 1. Basic Properties and Formulas If f x and g x are differentiable functions (the derivative exists), c and n are any real numbers, Implicit Differentiation d Find y if e 2 x 9y x3 y 2 sin y 11 x. and is defined as f x and is defined as dx dx n equation of the tangent line at x a is time x then f a is the velocity of f x f x, the derivative of the f n x f n 1.ģ X, the derivative of given by y f a f a x a.
