Introduction to list of common derivatives:

In mathematics, the derivative is a measure of how a function changes as its input changes. The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation. A derivative can be thought of as how much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity. The reverse process is called anti-differentiation. Some basic rules and common derivatives are given below which helps you to learn derivatives.

List of Rules for Common Derivatives:


In algebra of derivatives, we have established the following list of rules, (u + v) = (u - v) = (uv) = u (u/v) = (v + +v -u ) / v2

List of Common Derivatives -polynomial and Trigonometric Functions:


The list of common derivatives for polynomial function is given below (c) = 0 (x) = 1 (cx) = c (xn) = nxn-1 (cxn) = ncxn-1 The list of common derivatives for trigonometric function is given below (sin x) = cos x (cos x) = - sin x (tan x) = sec2 x (cot x) = - cosec2x (sec x) = sec x tan x

(cosec x) = - cosec x cot x

List of Common Derivatives - Inverse Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions:


The list of common derivatives for inverse trigonometric function is given below (sin-1 x) = (cos-1 x) = (tan-1 x) = (sec-1 x) = (cosec-1 x) = (cot-1 x) = The list of common derivatives for hyperbolic function is given below (sinh x) = cos hx (cosh x) = sin hx (tanh x) = sec h2x (sech x) = - tanh x sech x (cosech x) = - coth x cosech x (coth x) = - cosech2x
