A Differentiation formulas list has been provided here for students so that they can refer to these to solve problems based on differential equations. This
is one of the most important topics in higher-class Mathematics. The general representation of the derivative is d/dx.

This formula list includes derivatives for constant, trigonometric functions, polynomials, hyperbolic, logarithmic functions, exponential, inverse
trigonometric functions (https://byjus.com/maths/inverse-trigonometric-functions/) etc. Based on these, there are a number of examples and problems
present in the syllabus of Class 11 and 12, for which students can easily write answers.

Differentiation Formulas List


In all the formulas below, f’ and g’ represents the following:

d(f (x))

= f (x)
dx

d(g(x))

= g (x)
dx

Both f and g are the functions of x and are differentiated with respect to x. We can also represent dy/dx = Dx y. Some of the general differentiation
formulas are;

1. Power Rule: (d/dx) (x n ) = nxn-1

2. Derivative of a constant, a: (d/dx) (a) = 0

3. Derivative of a constant multiplied with function f: (d/dx) (a. f) = af’

4. Sum Rule: (d/dx) (f ± g) = f’ ± g’

5. Product Rule: (d/dx) (fg)= fg’ + gf’

6. Quotient Rule:
′ ′
d f gf –f g
( ) = 2
dx g g

Derivatives of basic functions
bannerid=40&zoneid=50&sig=cf6391b0bd11631ad32b6ae47c05c94b3ea126b970dac44944e9b2142188ef52&dest=https%3A%2F%2F
Derivatives of Logarithmic and Exponential functions
Derivatives of Trigonometric functions
Derivatives of Inverse trigonometric functions
Differentiation rules

Q2 What are the basic rules of differentiation?

The basic rule of differentiation are:


Power Rule: (d/dx) (xn ) = nx{n-1}
Sum Rule: (d/dx) (f ± g) = f’ ± g’
Product Rule: (d/dx) (fg)= fg’ + gf’
Quotient Rule: (d/dx) (f/g) = [(gf’ – fg’)/g2]

Q3 What are the derivatives of trigonometric functions?

The derivatives of six trigonometric functions are:


(d/dx) sin x = cos x
(d/dx) cos x = -sin x
(d/dx) tan x = sec2 x
(d/dx) cosec x = -cosec x cot x
(d/dx) sec x = sec x tan x
(d/dx) cot x = -cosec2 x

Q4 What is d/dx?

The general representation of the derivative is d/dx. This denotes the differentiation with respect to the variable x.

Q5 What is a UV formula?

(d/dx)(uv) = v(du/dx) + u(dv/dx)


This formula is used to find the derivative of the product of two functions.
