Product Rule


A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z overview

The derivative of a product of two differentiable functions $ f$ and $ g$ is given by

$\displaystyle (fg)'=f'g+fg'\,. $

More generally, for a product $ f = f_1 \cdots f_n$ it is

$\displaystyle f' = \sum_{i = 1}^{n} f_{i}' \frac{f}{f_i}\,.
$
