4.1  Derivative Rules

If , are derivable vector functions, a constant vector and a scalar function, then:

1.  

2.  

3.  

4.  

5.  

6.  If is a vector function of constant length , then is perpendicular to .


4.2  Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem

If vector function is continuous in the neighborhood of and has a continuous derivative on , then there exists of that neighborhood where:

when is a vector function holding .
