METHOD OF DIFFERENTIATION

1. Differentiation of some elementary functions

d n d x
1. (x ) = nxn – 1 2. (a ) = ax n a
dx dx
d 1 d 1
3. (n |x|) = 4. (log ax) =
dx x dx x n a

d d
5. (sin x) = cos x 6. (cos x) = – sin x
dx dx
d d
7. (sec x) = sec x tan x 8. (cosec x) = – cosec x cot x
dx dx

3. Differentiation using substitution
Following substitutions are normally used to simplify these expression.

 
(i) x 2  a 2 by substituting x = a tan , where –
2
< 
2

 
(ii) a 2  x 2 by substituting x = a sin , where –
2
 
2


(iii) x 2  a 2 by substituting x = a sec , where [0, ], 
2

xa
(iv) by substituting x = a cos , where (0, ].
ax

4. Parametric Differentiation
dy dy/d
If y = f( ) & x = g( ) where  is a parameter, then  .
dx dx/d

5. Derivative of one function with respect to another


dy dy / dx f'(x)
Let y = f(x); z = g(x) then   .
dz dz/dx g'(x)

f(x) g( x ) h( x )
6. If F(x) = l( x ) m( x ) n( x ) , where f, g, h, l, m, n, u, v, w are differentiable
u( x ) v( x ) w( x )

f ' ( x) g' ( x) h' ( x) f( x ) g( x ) h( x )


functions of x then F  (x) = l( x ) m( x ) n( x ) + l' ( x ) m'( x ) n'( x ) +
u( x ) v( x ) w( x ) u( x ) v( x ) w( x )
