Basic Differentiation Rules

· Sum Rule for Differentiation
$\frac{d}{dx}\left[f\left(x\right)+g\left(x\right)\right]=\frac{d}{dx}f\left(x\right) + \frac{d}{dx}g\left(x\right)$
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(cx\right)=c\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)$
· Product rule for derivatives
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(ab\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(a\right)b+a\frac{d}{dx}\left(b\right)$
· Derivative of the linear function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)=1$
· Power rule for derivatives
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^a\right)=ax^{\left(a-1\right)}\frac{d}{dx}\left(x\right)$

Derivatives of trigonometric functions

· Derivative of tangent function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\tan\left(\theta \right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\theta \right)\sec\left(\theta \right)^2$
· Derivative of secant function
$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sec\left(\theta \right)\right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\theta \right)\sec\left(\theta \right)\tan\left(\theta \right)$
