Rules of differentiation

f ( x) = 0

1.

f ( x) = k

2.

f ( x ) = kx

f ( x) = k

3.

f ( x) = x n

f ( x) = nx n 1

4.

f ( x) = x

f ( x) =

5.

f ( x) =

6.

f ( x) = e x

7.

f ( x) = b x

8.

f ( x ) = ln x

9.

f ( x ) = log b x

f ( x) =

10. f ( x ) = kg ( x )

f ( x) = kg ( x)

f ( x ) = b x (ln b )

f ( x ) =

11. f ( x ) = u ( x ) + v ( x )

13. f ( x ) =

2 x

f ( x) = e x

12. f ( x ) = u ( x ).v ( x )

f ( x ) = u ( x ) + v ( x )

f ( x ) = u v + v u

f ( x) =
