Apply the rules for finding derivatives of constants, sums, products, quotients and the Chain Rule to solve problems with functions limited to algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential.


Examples


Example: Find begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator d y over denominator d x end fraction end style for the function y=ln x. 

Example: Show that the derivative of f(x)=tan x is begin mathsize 12px style f to the power of apostrophe left parenthesis x right parenthesis space equals space s e c squared x end style using the quotient rule for derivatives. 

Example: FindError converting from MathML to accessible text..



Clarifications


Clarification 1: Special cases of rules include a constant multiple of a function and the power of a function.
