Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers, let p,qRp,q\in\mathbb{R}, let g,h:(p,q)Rg,h:(p,q)\to\mathbb{R} be functions on the open interval (p,q)(p,q), and let c(p,q)c\in(p,q). Let g+hg+h and ghg-h be the functions from (p,q)(p,q) to R\mathbb{R} whose values at s(p,q)s\in(p,q) are g(s)+h(s)g(s)+h(s) and g(s)+(h(s))g(s)+(-h(s)) respectively.

Suppose gg and hh are differentiable at cc. Then g+hg+h and ghg-h are differentiable at cc, with

(g+h)(c)=g(c)+h(c)and(gh)(c)=g(c)h(c).(g+h)'(c)=g'(c)+h'(c)\qquad\text{and}\qquad (g-h)'(c)=g'(c)-h'(c).
