1

What is Chain Rule and what is it used for?

  • h(x) = f(g(x)), then h’(x) = f’(g(x))(g’(x))

  • OR dy/dx = dy/du(du/dx)

  • Finding the derivative of compositions

New cards
2

What if I have a composition with ln?

A shortcut can be used! d/dx(lnu), where u is a function of x, = u’/u

New cards
3

Can you take the log of a negative number?

NO!!

New cards
4

What are the log properties?

  • ln(0) = 1

  • ln(ab) = lna + lnb

  • (ln(a)^n) = nln(a) → notice how n is on the inside of the parentheses!

  • ln(a/b) = lna - lnb

New cards
5

d/dx(eu) = ?

eu(u’)

New cards
6

What is the base change formula for exponents and logs?

  • ax = (eln(a))x

  • logax = (1/(lna))(lnx)

New cards
7

Derivative of |x|?

x/|x|

New cards
8

derivative of arcsin(x) or arccos(x)

±1/sqrt(1-x²)

New cards
9

derivative of arcsec(x) or arccsc(x)

±1/sqrt((x²)(x²-1))

New cards
10

derivative of arctan(x) or arccot(x)

1/1+x²

New cards
11

the derivative of f-1(y of f)

1/f’(x)

New cards
12

s(t)

position function - postive velocity means the object moves up/forward/right; negative velocity means object moves down/backward/left

New cards
13

s’(t)

velocity (distance/time)

New cards
14

s’’(t)

acceleration (distance/time²) or (distance/time)/time

New cards
15

Implicit Differentiation

  1. Differentiate in regards to x

  2. Seperate the y’ terms from the non-y’ terms

  3. Isolate y’

(sometimes putting in values first is easier)

New cards
16

derivative of ax

ax*ln(a)

New cards
17

derivative of log base a (x)

1/xln(a) or 1/x * 1/lna
