Basic Derivative Formulas

📘 Basic Derivative Rules


Power Rule:
d/dx [x^n] = n * x^(n - 1)

Constant Rule:
d/dx [c] = 0

Constant Multiple Rule:


d/dx [c * f(x)] = c * f'(x)

Sum/Difference Rule:
d/dx [f(x) ± g(x)] = f'(x) ± g'(x)

Product Rule:
d/dx [f(x) * g(x)] = f'(x) * g(x) + f(x) * g'(x)

Quotient Rule:
d/dx [f(x) / g(x)] = (f'(x) * g(x) - f(x) * g'(x)) / [g(x)]^2

Chain Rule:
d/dx [f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)

📗 Common Derivatives of Functions


d/dx [x^n] = n * x^(n - 1)

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

d/dx [ln x] = 1 / x

d/dx [e^x] = e^x

d/dx [a^x] = a^x * ln(a)
