Derivative Rules
Constant Term: y = c, y' = 0
Power Term: y = ax^n, y' = nax^(n-1)
Sum of Terms: y = u + v, y' = u' + v'
Product Rule: y = uv, y' = vu' + uv'
Quotient Rule: y = u/v, y' = (vu' - uv')/v^2
Chain Rule: y = f(g(x)), y' = g'(x)f'(g(x))
Trig Derivatives
y = sinx, y' = cosx
y = cosx, y' = -sinx
y = tanx, y' = (secx)^2
y = cscx, y' = -cscxcotx
y = secx, y' = secxtanx
y = cotx, y' = -(cscx)^2
Exponential Derivatives
y = ln(u), y' = u'/u
y = ln(x), y' = 1/x
y = b^u, y' = ln(b)u'b^u
y = e^u, y' = u'e^u
