Derivative of a Power Function
d/dx [x^n] = n × x^(n-1)
The derivative of x raised to the power n is n times x raised to the power n-1.
Derivative of e^x
d/dx [e^x] = e^x
The derivative of the exponential function e^x is itself.
Derivative of ln(x)
d/dx [ln(x)] = 1/x
The derivative of the natural logarithm of x is 1 divided by x.
Chain Rule
d/dx [f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) × g'(x)
The derivative of a composite function is the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function, multiplied by the derivative of the inner function.
Product Rule
d/dx [f(x) × g(x)] = f'(x) × g(x) + f(x) × g'(x)
The derivative of the product of two functions is the derivative of the first function times the second function, plus the first function times the derivative of the second function.
Quotient Rule
d/dx [f(x) / g(x)] = [f'(x) × g(x) - f(x) × g'(x)] / [g(x)]²
The derivative of the quotient of two functions is the derivative of the numerator times the denominator, minus the numerator times the derivative of the denominator, all divided by the square of the denominator.
Definite Integral
∫[a to b] f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
The definite integral of a function from a to b is equal to the difference of the antiderivative evaluated at the upper and lower limits.
