5.1. THE DIFFERENTIATION RULES 279 the approach developed in chapter 4. We saw that we can give meaning to br for any positive base b and any real number r by defining br = erln(b). Using the formulas for the derivatives of ex and ln x together with the chain rule, we can prove the rule forx > 0and for arbitrary real exponent r directly,

The derivative of a sum or difference of terms will be equal to the sum or difference of their derivatives. In other words, when you take the derivative of such a function you will take the derivative of each individual term and add or subtract the derivatives. Sum or Difference Rule .

the general rule for the derivative of f(x) = xr. The rule for the derivative of a power function For every real number r , the derivative of f(x) = xr is f′(x) = rxr − 1.

Rules of Differentiation The process of finding the derivative of a function is called Differentiation.1In the previous chapter, the required derivative of a function is worked out by taking the limit of the difference quotient. It would be tedious, however, to have to do this every time we wanted to find the
