How To Differentiate Different Types of Functions?

This document defines and provides examples of different types of functions including power functions, composite functions, product rule, quotient rule, trigonometric functions, exponential functions, and logarithmic functions. Key types are defined as power functions in the form of y=ax^n, composite functions in the form of y=(ax+b)^n, and trigonometric functions including sine, cosine, and tangent functions. Equations are also provided for determining the derivatives of each type of function.
