  2. Exception that proves the rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_that_proves_the_rule

    The exception proves the rule is a phrase that arises from ignorance, though common to good writers. The original word was preuves, which did not mean proves but tests. [4] In this sense, the phrase does not mean that an exception demonstrates a rule to be true or to exist, but that it tests the rule, thereby proving its value.

  3. L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule

    The proof of L'Hôpital's rule is simple in the case where f and g are continuously differentiable at the point c and where a finite limit is found after the first round of differentiation. This is only a special case of L'Hôpital's rule, because it only applies to functions satisfying stronger conditions than required by the general rule.

  4. Chain rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule

    In this situation, the chain rule represents the fact that the derivative of f ∘ g is the composite of the derivative of f and the derivative of g. This theorem is an immediate consequence of the higher dimensional chain rule given above, and it has exactly the same formula. The chain rule is also valid for Fréchet derivatives in Banach spaces.

  5. Product rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_rule

    The rule for integration by parts is derived from the product rule, as is (a weak version of) the quotient rule. (It is a "weak" version in that it does not prove that the quotient is differentiable but only says what its derivative is if it is differentiable.)

    2.3 Proof using the reciprocal rule or chain rule. ... the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable ...

  7. Evidence (law) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence_(law)

    According to Rule 401 of the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE), evidence is relevant if it has the "tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence." [9] Federal Rule 403 allows relevant evidence to be excluded "if its ...

  8. Law of cosines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_cosines

    Fig. 7a – Proof of the law of cosines for acute angle γ by "cutting and pasting". Fig. 7b – Proof of the law of cosines for obtuse angle γ by "cutting and pasting". One can also prove the law of cosines by calculating areas. The change of sign as the angle γ becomes obtuse makes a case distinction necessary. Recall that

  9. General Leibniz rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Leibniz_rule

    The proof of the general Leibniz rule [2]: 68–69 proceeds by induction. Let and be -times differentiable functions.The base case when = claims that: ′ = ′ + ′, which is the usual product rule and is known to be true.
