  • Product Rule
    A formula for finding the derivative of two multiplied functions, involving each function and the derivative of the other.
  • Quotient Rule
    A method for differentiating a function divided by another, using a specific formula involving subtraction and squaring the denominator.
  • Derivative
    A measure of how a function changes as its input changes, often representing instantaneous rate of change.
  • Power Rule
    A shortcut for differentiating terms with variables raised to powers, multiplying by the exponent and reducing it by one.
  • Mnemonic Device
    A memory aid, such as 'left d right plus right d left' or 'low d high minus high d low over the square of what's below,' for recalling rules.
  • Numerator
    The top part of a fraction, especially important in the setup of the quotient rule for derivatives.
  • Denominator
    The bottom part of a fraction, which is squared in the quotient rule when differentiating a quotient of functions.
  • Simplification
    The process of combining like terms and reducing expressions after applying differentiation rules.
  • Like Terms
    Terms in an expression that have identical variable parts and can be combined during simplification.
  • Function
    A mathematical relationship where each input has a single output, often represented as f(x) or g(x).
  • Original Function
    The unaltered part of a product or quotient before differentiation, used directly in both rules.
  • Derivative Notation
    Symbols such as f'(x), y', or ddx, indicating the derivative of a function.
  • Polynomial
    An expression consisting of variables and coefficients, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
  • Order of Operations
    The sequence in which mathematical steps are performed, crucial when applying differentiation rules.
  • Cancellation
    The process of eliminating terms that offset each other, often occurring after applying the quotient rule.
