Derivatives

Trig.

1.) Y = sin(x) ----- Y’ = cos(x)

2.) Y = cos(x) ----- Y’ = -sin(x)
3.) Y = tan(x) ----- Y’ = sec2(x)
4.)

Exponents

1.) Y = ex ------ Y’ = ex
2.) Y = ef(x) ------ Y’ = ef(x) * f’(x)
3.) Y = ax ------- Y’ = ln(a) * ax
4.) Y = af(x) ------- Y’ = ln(a) * af(x) * f’(x)
5.)

Logarithms

1.) Y = loga(x) ------- Y’ = 1/ ln(a)*x

2.) Y = loga(f(x)) ---- Y’ = (1 / ln(a)*x) * f’(x)

Natural Logarithm

1.) Y = ln(x) ------- Y’ = 1/x

2.) Y = ln(f(x)) ---- Y’ = (1/x) * f’(x)

For Implicit Differentiation

1.) Differentiate both sides

2.) Send all terms (Y’) to one side of equation
3.) On side with Y’ terms, factor out Y’
4.) Divide both sides by the parentheses factor on the y’ side.
