What is the derivative of $$y = uv$$??

$$ u \frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} + v \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} $$

What is the derivative of $$\frac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} = u \frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} + v \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}$$??

$$ u\frac{\text{d}^2v}{\text{d}x^2} + \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} + v\frac{\text{d}^2u}{\text{d}x^2} + \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} $$

What does Leibnitz’s theorem give a general formula for??

The $n$th derivative of the product of two functions.

What is $\frac{\text{d}^0v}{\text{d}x^0}$??

$$ v $$

What is the formula from Leibnitz’s theorem for the $n$th derivative of $y = uv$??

$$ \frac{\text{d}^nx}{\text{d}y^n} = \sum^n_{k = 0} \left(\begin{matrix} n \\ k \end{matrix}\right) \frac{\text{d}^ku}{\text{d}x^k} \frac{\text{d}^{n-k}v}{\text{d}x^{n-k}} $$

What goes in front of the derivatives in Leibnitz’s theorem??

Numbers from the $n$th row of Pascal’s triangle.

How could you more concisely write $$\frac{\text{d}^n x}{\text{d}y^n} = m(m-1)(m-2)…(m-n+1)x^{m-n}$$??

$$ \frac{m!}{(m - n)!}x^{m-n} $$
