In calculus, the product rule (or Leibniz rule [1] or Leibniz product rule) is a formula used to find the derivatives of products of two or more functions.For two functions, it may be stated in Lagrange's notation as () ′ = ′ + ′ or in Leibniz's notation as () = +.
The product of non-negative integers can be defined with set theory using cardinal numbers or the Peano axioms. See below how to extend this to multiplying arbitrary integers, and then arbitrary rational numbers. The product of real numbers is defined in terms of products of rational numbers; see construction of the real numbers. [32]
Integration by parts can be extended to functions of several variables by applying a version of the fundamental theorem of calculus to an appropriate product rule. There are several such pairings possible in multivariate calculus, involving a scalar-valued function u and vector-valued function (vector field) V. [7]
The FOIL rule converts a product of two binomials into a sum of four (or fewer, if like terms are then combined) monomials. [6] The reverse process is called factoring or factorization . In particular, if the proof above is read in reverse it illustrates the technique called factoring by grouping .
Khan Academy is an American non-profit [3] educational organization created in 2006 by Sal Khan. [1] Its goal is to create a set of online tools that help educate students. [ 4 ] The organization produces short video lessons. [ 5 ]
Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:
The general Leibniz rule, [45] named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, generalizes the product rule (which is also known as "Leibniz's rule"). It states that if f {\displaystyle f} and g {\displaystyle g} are n {\displaystyle n} -times differentiable functions , then the product f g {\displaystyle fg} is also n {\displaystyle n} -times ...
In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g.More precisely, if = is the function such that () = (()) for every x, then the chain rule is, in Lagrange's notation, ′ = ′ (()) ′ (). or, equivalently, ′ = ′ = (′) ′.
