Linearity
Product rule
Reciprocal rule
Quotient rule
Chain rule
where (f g)(x) is defined as f(g(x))
For higher derivatives the chain rule is given by Faà di Bruno's formula (below is the combinatoric form):
Derivative of inverse function
for any differentiable function f of a real argument and with real values, when the indicated compositions and
inverses exist.
Generalized power rule
Derivative of implicit function
If implicit function y(x) is defined as F(x,y(x)) = 0
then
Derivative of parametrically defined function
If a function y(x) defined parametrically
then
Derivative of complex function.
For complex function z(t) = F(u(t),v(t))
the full derivative is
If z(x) = F(x,y(x))
Then full derivative is
Derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions
note that the equation above is true for all c, but the derivative for c < 0 yields a complex number.
the equation above is also true for all c but yields a complex number.
The derivative of the natural logarithm with a generalised functional argument f(x) is
By applying the change-of-base rule, the derivative for other bases is
Derivatives of trigonometric functions
Derivatives of hyperbolic functions
