Class 12 Calculus: Derivatives - Formulas and Examples

1. Derivative of a Constant Function

Formula: d/dx (c) = 0

Example: d/dx (7) = 0

2. Derivative of Identity Function

Formula: d/dx (x) = 1

Example: d/dx (x) = 1

3. Derivative of Power Function

Formula: d/dx (x^n) = n*x^(n-1)

Example: d/dx (x^3) = 3x^2

4. Derivative of Sum/Difference of Functions

Formula: d/dx [f(x) ± g(x)] = f'(x) ± g'(x)

Example: d/dx (x^2 + 3x) = d/dx (x^2) + d/dx (3x) = 2x + 3

5. Derivative of a Constant Multiple of a Function

Formula: d/dx [c * f(x)] = c * f'(x)

Example: d/dx (5x^2) = 5 * d/dx (x^2) = 5 * 2x = 10x

6. Derivative of Product of Two Functions (Product Rule)

Formula: d/dx [f(x) * g(x)] = f(x) * g'(x) + f'(x) * g(x)

Example: f(x) = x^2, g(x) = sin(x)

d/dx [x^2 * sin(x)] = x^2 * cos(x) + 2x * sin(x)


7. Derivative of Quotient of Two Functions (Quotient Rule)

Formula: d/dx [f(x)/g(x)] = (g(x) * f'(x) - f(x) * g'(x)) / [g(x)]^2

Example: f(x) = x^2, g(x) = x + 1

d/dx [x^2 / (x + 1)] = [(x + 1)(2x) - (x^2)(1)] / (x + 1)^2

= (2x^2 + 2x - x^2) / (x + 1)^2

= (x^2 + 2x) / (x + 1)^2

8. Derivative of Composite Function (Chain Rule)

Formula: d/dx [f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) * g'(x)

Example: f(x) = (3x + 2)^5

Let u = 3x + 2, then f(x) = u^5

d/dx = 5u^4 * d/dx (3x + 2) = 5(3x + 2)^4 * 3 = 15(3x + 2)^4

9. Derivative of Trigonometric Functions

- d/dx (sin x) = cos x

Example: d/dx (sin x) = cos x

- d/dx (cos x) = -sin x

Example: d/dx (cos x) = -sin x

- d/dx (tan x) = sec^2 x

Example: d/dx (tan x) = sec^2 x

- d/dx (cot x) = -csc^2 x

Example: d/dx (cot x) = -csc^2 x

- d/dx (sec x) = sec x tan x

Example: d/dx (sec x) = sec x tan x

- d/dx (csc x) = -csc x cot x

Example: d/dx (csc x) = -csc x cot x


10. Derivative of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

- d/dx (e^x) = e^x

Example: d/dx (e^x) = e^x

- d/dx (a^x) = a^x * ln(a), a > 0

Example: d/dx (2^x) = 2^x * ln(2)

- d/dx (ln x) = 1/x, x > 0

Example: d/dx (ln x) = 1/x

- d/dx (log_a x) = 1 / (x ln a), x > 0, a > 0

Example: d/dx (log_2 x) = 1 / (x ln 2)
