Basic Derivative formulae


(xn )0 = nxn−1
(ax )0 = ax ln a (ex )0 = ex
1 1
(loga x)0 = (ln x)0 =
x ln a x

(sin x)0 = cos x (cos x)0 = − sin x


(tan x)0 = sec2 x (cot x)0 = − csc2 x
(sec x)0 = sec x tan x (csc x)0 = − csc x cot x

1 −1
(sin−1 x)0 = √ (cos−1 x)0 = √
1 − x2 1 − x2
1 −1
(tan−1 x)0 = (cot−1 x)0 =
1 + x2 1 + x2
1 −1
(sec−1 x)0 = √ −1 0
(csc x) = √
x x2 − 1 x x2 − 1
2. Differentiation Rules

Sum rule: (f + g)0 = f 0 + g 0 wheref = f (x), g = g(x)

Product rule: (f · g)0 = f 0 g + g 0 f


 0
f f 0 g − g0 f
Quotient rule: =
g g2
   
0 dy dy du
Chain rule: [f (g)] = f 0 (g) · g 0 or = ·
dx du dx
Implicit differentiation:
If y = y(x) is given implicitly, find derivative to the entire equation with respect to x. Then solve for y 0 .

3. Identities of Trigonometric Functions


sin x cos x
tan x = cot x =
cos x sin x
1 1
sec x = csc x =
cos x sin x
sin2 x + cos2 x = 1 1 + tan2 x = sec2 x 1 + cot2 x = csc2 x

4. Laws of Exponential Functions and Logarithms Functions

ax · ay = ex+y loga (xy) = loga (x) + loga (y)

ax
= ax−y loga ( xy ) = loga (x) − loga (y)
ay
(ax )y = axy loga (xn ) = n loga (x)

aloga (x) = x ln x = loge x

a0 = 1 loga a = 1, loga 1 = 0
