A power rule can be defined simply as the method of differentiating algebraic expressions such as xn. Generally, it is used when an algebraic expression(variable) with power needs to be differentiated. So to find the derivative the formula would be: d(xn )/dx = nx (n-1) . This is the general power rule derivative formula. The quotient rule is used when two functions are given and the derivative of ratio of these two functions is to be found.
