In the last Credit Unit we learned how to find the derivative of a function from numerical, graphical, and algebraic viewpoints. In this Credit Unit we will learned how to find derivatives quickly using short-hand techniques. In particular we will focus on three rules: the power rule, the sum/difference rule, and the constant rule as applied to a wide variety of functions. Special rules will be introduced for exponential and logarithmic functions. Lastly, we will apply our new techniques to marginal analysis.
