Common Derivatives
Function Derivative w.r.t. x Example
\text{Constant}\, 0\, y=4,\qquad \frac{dy}{dx}=0\,
x^n\, nx^{n-1}\, y=x^7,\qquad \frac{dy}{dx}=7x^6\,
e^x\, e^x\, y=e^x,\qquad \frac{dy}{dx}=e^x\,
\sin {(x+b)}\, a\cdot \cos {(ax+b)}\, y=\sin{(3x+4)},\qquad  \frac{dy}{dx}=3\cdot \cos{(3x+4)}\,
cos(ax+b)\, -a\cdot sin(ax+b)\, y=cos(3x+4),  dy/dx=-3\cdot sin(3x+4)
tan(ax+b)\, a\cdot sec^2(ax+b)\, y=tan(3x+4),  \frac{dy}{dx}=3\cdot sec^2(3x+4)
sec(ax + b) a\cdot sec(ax+b)\cdot tan(ax+b) y=sec(5x-4),  dy/dx=5\cdot sec(5x-4)\cdot tan(5x-4)
cosec(ax + b) -a\cdot cosec(ax+b)\cdot cot(ax+b) y=cosec(5x-4),  dy/dx=-5\cdot cosec(5x-4)\cdot cot(5x-4)
cot(ax + b) -a\cdot cosec^2(ax+b) y=cot(3x+4),  dy/dx=-3\cdot cosec^2(3x+4)
log(ax + b)  a/(ax+b)\, y=log(3x+4),  dy/dx=3/(3x+4)\,
a / g(x) ag'(x) / (g(x))2 y=1/(x^2+1),  dy/dx=-2x/(x^2+1)^2\,
