Common Derivatives

Function Derivative
f(x) = c f'(x) = 0
f(x) = x f'(x) = 1
f(x) = xⁿ f'(x) = nxⁿ⁻¹
f(x) = eˣ f'(x) = eˣ
f(x) = ln(x) f'(x) = 1/x
f(x) = sin(x) f'(x) = cos(x)
f(x) = cos(x) f'(x) = -sin(x)

Derivative Rules

Rule Formula
Power Rule d/dx[xⁿ] = nxⁿ⁻¹
Product Rule d/dx[uv] = u'v + uv'
Quotient Rule d/dx[u/v] = (u'v - uv')/v²
Chain Rule d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x))g'(x)

Common Integrals

Function Integral
∫ k dx kx + C
∫ xⁿ dx xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C
∫ 1/x dx ln|x| + C
∫ eˣ dx eˣ + C
∫ sin(x) dx -cos(x) + C
∫ cos(x) dx sin(x) + C
💡 Pro Tip: Don't forget the constant of integration (+C) for indefinite integrals!
