c (constant) 0
xⁿ n xⁿ⁻¹
eˣ eˣ
aˣ aˣ ln a
ln x 1/x

2. Trigonometric Differentiation
Function Derivative
sin x cos x
cos x -sin x
tan x sec² x
cot x -csc² x
tan⁻¹ x 1 / (1 + x²)
cot⁻¹ x -1 / (1 + x²)
sec⁻¹ x 1 / |x|√(x² - 1)
csc⁻¹ x -1 / |x|√(x² - 1)
4. Hyperbolic Differentiation
Function Derivative
sinh x cosh x
cosh x sinh x
tanh x sech² x
coth x -csch² x
5. Logarithmic Differentiation
If y = f(x) is complex, take logarithm on both sides:
d/dx [ln f(x)] = (1 / f(x)) * f'(x)
7. Chain Rule
If y = f(g(x)), then:
dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
8. Implicit Differentiation
Differentiate both sides when y is not explicitly in terms of x.
9. Higher-Order Derivatives
The nth derivative: dⁿy/dxⁿ.
Example: f(x) = xⁿ → d²y/dx² = n(n-1)xⁿ⁻²
