Problem

(a) State clearly the Sum Rule, Difference Rule and Constant Multiple Rule for differentiation. (b) Using the definition of the derivative, show that if cc is a constant and f(x)f(x) is differentiable at xx, then ddx[c f(x)]=c f′(x)\dfrac{d}{dx}[c\,f(x)] = c\,f'(x). (c) Give one worked numerical example that illustrates the simultaneous use of all three rules in part (a) for differentiating a single function.
