Properties of Derivatives and Their Proofs In this section, we will prove various properties of derivatives with applications. The following notation will be used to understand the derivative of $f(x)$: $f'(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}(f(x))$. Theorem 1: Prove that the derivative of a constant function is zero. Proof: Let $f(x)=c$ be a constant function. We have to show that … Read more
Proofs of Derivative Formulas by Definition: In this section, we will evaluate derivatives of functions u\sing the first principle. For example, we calculate the derivatives of $x^n$, $e^x$, $\sin x$, $\log x$ etc. The following formulas will be proved by the definition of derivatives: 1. $\frac{d}{dx}$(xn)=nxn-1 2. $\frac{d}{dx}$(ex)=ex 3. $\frac{d}{dx}$(ax) = ax logea 4. $\frac{d}{dx}$(log … Read more
