Question
Use the Product Rule to show that$\frac{d}{d x}(c \cdot f(x))=c \cdot \frac{d}{d x} f(x)$for any constant c.
Step 1
In mathematical terms, if we have two functions $u(x)$ and $v(x)$, then the derivative of their product is given by: \[\frac{d}{dx}(u(x)v(x)) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)\] Show more…
