| Derivative of a constant | $ \frac{d}{dx}\left( c \right) = 0, \ \text{ for any constant }c $ |
| $ \frac{d}{dx}\left( c x \right) = c, \ \text{ for any constant }c $ | |
| Linearity | $ \frac{d}{dx}\left( c_1 u_1+c_2 u_2 \right) = c_1 \frac{d}{dx}\left( u_1 \right)+c_2 \frac{d}{dx}\left( u_2 \right), \ \text{ for any constants }c_1, c_2 $ |
