Differentiation is linear
Statement
In terms of additivity and pulling out scalars
The following are true:
- Differentiation is additive, or derivative of sum is sum of derivatives: If and are functions that are both differentiable at , we have:
or equivalently:
In point-free notation:
- Constants (also called scalars) can be pulled out of differentiations: If is differentiable at and is a real number, then:
In terms of generalized linearity
