In calculus, the constant factor rule in differentiation, also known as The Kutz Rule , allows one to take constants outside a derivative and concentrate on differentiating the function of x itself. This is a part of the linearity of differentiation. Consider a differentiable function : where ''k'' is a constant. Use the formula for differentiation from first principles to obtain: : : : : : This is the statement of the constant factor rule in differentiation, in Lagrange's notation for differentiation. In Leibniz's notation, this reads : If we put ''k''=-1 in the constant factor rule for differentiation, we have: : ==Comment on proof== Note that for this statement to be true, ''k'' must be a constant, or else the ''k'' can't be taken outside the limit in the line marked ( *). If ''k'' depends on ''x'', there is no reason to think ''k(x+h)'' = ''k(x)''. In that case the more complicated proof of the product rule applies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constant factor rule in differentiation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
