Explore the Calculus of nth Derivatives
The sum, product and chain rules for derivatives can be generalized to the case of
th derivatives, as illustrated in the following.
The
th derivative of a sum is the sum of the
th derivatives.
The
th derivative of a product is given by the Leibniz rule.
Make a table that shows the product rule for
1, 2, 3.
The
th derivative of a composition is given by the chain rule.
Make a table that shows the chain rule for
1, 2, 3.
