Sum and Product Rules for One-Dimensional Derivatives and Continuity
lemmaAnalysislem:derivative-continuity-rules-1d-2026aLet be an interval, let , and let be a real number. Here , , and denote the pointwise sum, scalar multiple, and product.
1. (Differentiability implies continuity) If is an interior point of and is differentiable at , then is continuous at .
2. (Sum and constant multiple) If is an interior point of and and are differentiable at , then and are differentiable at with
and every constant function on is differentiable at with derivative .
3. (Product rule) If is an interior point of and and are differentiable at , then is differentiable at with
4. (Continuity arithmetic) Let , let be continuous at a point , and let . Then , , and are continuous at , and every constant function on is continuous at .
