y=arctan x

y=arcsec x

y = arcsin x

dy/dx = 1/ cos y

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

dy/dx=1/sec y*tan y

d(arccos x)/dx =-d(arcsin x)/dx
∴ d(arccot x)/dx= -d(arctan x)/dx
d(arccsc x)/dx= -d(arcsec x)/dx
(just add a negative sign before the 3 above 😃)

d(e^x)/dx=e^x
(Just remains the same ✅)

d(ln x)/dx=1/x

Proof image

implicit function

  1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x
  2. Collect the terms with dy/dx on one side of the equation.
  3. Factor out dy/dx
  4. Solve for dy/dx.

Power Rule for Rational Powers of x

If n is any rational number, then

If n <1, then the derivative does not exist at x = 0

Similarly, image

example: Differentiate sin(x^2 + x)^2 with respect to x.

solution: d(sin(x^2 + x)^2)/dx
= cos (x^2 + x) * (2x + 1)

It's like peel an onion 😃
