Derivative Formulas

1. Basic Derivatives
d/dx(c (constant)) = 0
d/dx(x) = 1
d/dx(x^n) = n*x^(n-1)
d/dx(sqrtx) = 1 / (2sqrtx)
d/dx(1/x) = -1 / x^2

2. Trigonometric Functions
d/dx(sin x) = cos x
d/dx(cos x) = -sin x
d/dx(tan x) = sec^2 x
d/dx(cot x) = -csc^2 x
d/dx(sec x) = sec x * tan x
d/dx(csc x) = -csc x * cot x

3. Inverse Trigonometric Functions


d/dx(sin^-1x) = 1 / sqrt(1 - x^2)
d/dx(cos^-1x) = -1 / sqrt(1 - x^2)
d/dx(tan^-1x) = 1 / (1 + x^2)
d/dx(cot^-1x) = -1 / (1 + x^2)
d/dx(sec^-1x) = 1 / (|x|sqrt(x^2 - 1))
d/dx(csc^-1x) = -1 / (|x|sqrt(x^2 - 1))

4. Exponential and Logarithmic Functions


d/dx(e^x) = e^x
d/dx(a^x) = a^x * ln a
d/dx(ln x) = 1 / x
d/dx(log_a x) = 1 / (x ln a)

5. Hyperbolic Functions
d/dx(sinh x) = cosh x
d/dx(cosh x) = sinh x
d/dx(tanh x) = sech^2 x
d/dx(coth x) = -csch^2 x
d/dx(sech x) = -sech x * tanh x
d/dx(csch x) = -csch x * coth x

6. Derivative Rules
d/dx(f(x) ± g(x)) = f'(x) ± g'(x)
d/dx(f(x) * g(x)) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)
d/dx(f(x) / g(x)) = [f'(x)g(x) - f(x)g'(x)] / [g(x)]^2
d/dx(f(g(x))) = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
