Differentiation Methods

When studying calculus, there are five main differentiation methods. Below are the summary of the five differentiation methods that are very useful in solving calculus problems.

Differentiation method 1: Product Rule

Differentiation method 2: Quotient Rule

Differentiation method 3: Chain Rule

Differentiation method 4: Inverse Function

Differentiation method 5: Implicit Functions

Sometimes it is difficult to express x or y as a function of each other. The Implicit functions method of differentiation is an extension of the Chain Rule. This Chain Rule corollary states that each term may be differentiated with respect to one of the variables.
