The calculation of the Dérivée from some functions with real values or complex (or more generally in a topological body) can be carried out by using a certain number of operations on the derivative , in particular some related to the operations on the real numbers and complexes. The demonstrations of these properties derive from the Opérations on the limits.

In all the article, one notes f and g two functions that one supposes derivable.

Linearity

Derivation is a linear Opérateur, i.e. the space of the derivable functions is stable by nap and multiplication of its elements by realities (it is a real vector space), and the following relations are checked:
\ bigl (\ alpha F \ bigr) '= \ alpha f',
\ bigl (f+g \ bigr) '= f'+g'.

Composition

The composition of two derivable functions is derivable, where it is defined (precisely on the reciprocal image by f of the field of definition of g) and is calculated according to the rule:
(G \ circ F) “= F” \ cdot (g' \ circ F) .
This rule admits for consequences the rule of derivation of reciprocal of a bijection:
\ bigl (f^ {- 1} \ bigr) “= \ frac {1} {F” \ circ f^ {- 1}},
and calculation of the reverse of a function regulates it (one places oneself on an interval on whom f is not cancelled), by using the elementary calculation of derived from the function x \ mapsto \ tfrac1x:
\ left (\ frac {1} {F} \ right) “= - \ frac {F”} {f^2}

Product and quotient

Derivation is a differential Opérateur, i.e. the space of the derivable functions is stable by multiplication, and the Formule of Leibniz is checked:
\ bigl (fg \ bigr) '= f' G + fg'.

In particular, this relation admits like consequences the rule of derivation of the powers:

\ bigl (f^n \ bigr) '= nf' f^ {n-1} ,
and that for the derivative of a quotient:
\ left (\ frac {F} {G} \ right) “= \ frac {f' g-fg”} {g^2}
