Derivative Rules and Formulas

Rules:

f (x + h) − f (x) d
(1) f 0 (x) = lim (7) [f (x) · g(x)] = f 0 (x) · g(x) + f (x) · g 0 (x)
h→0 h dx
d 
d f (x)

f 0 (x) · g(x) − f (x) · g 0 (x)
(2) (c) = 0, c any constant (8) =
dx dx g(x) (g(x))2
d
(3) (x) = 1
−g 0 (x)
 
dx d 1
(9) =
d dx g(x) (g(x))2
(4) (xp ) = p xp−1 , p 6= −1
dx
d
d (10) [f (g(x))] = f 0 (g(x)) · g 0 (x)
(5) [f (x) ± g(x)] = f 0 (x) ± g 0 (x) dx
dx
d d 0 1
f −1 (x) = f −1 (x) = 0 −1

(6) (c · f (x)) = c · f 0 (x) (11)
dx dx f (f (x))

Formulas: (note: u is a function of x)

d d u
(2) (cos(x)) = − sin(x) (10b) (a ) = au ln(a) u0
dx dx
