Derivatives & integrals

Formula tables and rules

xⁿ→ n·xⁿ⁻¹
eˣ→ eˣ
aˣ→ aˣ·ln a
ln x→ 1/x
sin x→ cos x
cos x→ −sin x
tan x→ 1/cos²x
√x→ 1/(2√x)
1/x→ −1/x²
u·v→ u'v + uv'
u/v→ (u'v − uv')/v²
f(g(x))→ f'(g)·g'

Rules

  • Derivative of sum = sum of derivatives
  • Constants factor out: (c·f)' = c·f'
  • Chain rule for composites
  • Integral = antiderivative + C
  • Substitution — reverse chain rule
  • Integration by parts: ∫u dv = uv − ∫v du
