Explain the Constant Rule.
The derivative of a constant is always zero because a constant's value does not change.
Explain the Sum Rule.
When differentiating a sum of functions, you can differentiate each function separately and then add the results.
Explain the Difference Rule.
When differentiating a difference of functions, you can differentiate each function separately and then subtract the results.
Explain the Constant Multiple Rule.
A constant multiplying a function remains as a multiplier when you take the derivative of the function.
