1 2 3 Log 1 4 (LNX) 1

The document discusses differentiation rules for exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. It provides the derivatives of e^x, a^x, log_a(x), and ln(x). It then works through two examples of differentiating sec(x) and finding the second derivative of sec(x). Exercises are provided to differentiate -2sin(x), 9cos(x), and (ln(x))^n.
