## Product rule for $y=uv$
$${dy \over dx} = u{dv \over dx} + v{du \over dx}$$
> the logarithm of a given number $x$ is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base $b$, must be raised, to produce that number $x$

$\log_b (xy)=\log_b x + \log_b y$
$\log_b x^n = n \log_b x$
$\log_b y^{x^n} = x^n \log_b y$

## Differentiating $x=f(y)$
-Find $dx \over dy$. Then $dx \over dy = {1 \over {dy \over dx}} \therefore {dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}$
+Find $dx \over dy$. Then $dx \over dy = {1 \over {dy \over dx}} \therefore {dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}}$.

+$${dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}}$$
+
+## Second derivative
+
+$$f(x) \implies f^\prime (x) \implies f^{\prime\prime}(x)$$

+$$\therefore y \implies {dy \over dx} \implies {d({dy \over dx}) \over dx} \implies {d^2 y \over dx^2}$$

+### Maxima and minima
+
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime}(a) > 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a local min (curve is concave up)
+
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime} (a) < 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is local max (curve is concave down)
+- if $f^{\prime\prime}(a) = 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a point of inflection
+- - if also $f^\prime(a)=0$, then it is a stationary point of inflection
+
+*Point of inflection* - point of maximum gradient (either +ve or -ve)
