Power rules
The power rule in calculus is a fairly simple rule that helps you find the
derivative of a variable raised to a power, such as: x^5, 2x^8
All you do is take the exponent, multiply it by the coefficient (the number in
front of the x), and decrease the exponent by 1.
Formula
Product Rule
The rule applied for finding the derivative of the composite function (e.g. cos
2x, log 2x, etc.) is basically known as the chain rule. It is also called the
composite function rule. The chain rule is applicable only for composite
functions. So before starting the formula of the chain rule, let us understand the
meaning of composite function and how it can be differentiated.
The formula of chain rule for the function y = f(x), where f(x) is a composite
function such that x = g(t), is given
Quotient Rule
Exponential Growth
If the base "b" is greater than 1, the function exhibits exponential growth . The
larger the value of "b," the faster the growth.
Example: Population growth, compound interest, bacterial growth, and investment
growth.
Exponential Decay
If the base "b" is between 0 and 1, the function exhibits exponential decay. The
closer "b" is to 1, the slower the decay.
Example: Radioactive decay, cooling of a hot object, diminishing natural resources.
Characteristics And Applications Of Exponential Functions
Compound Interest
Compound interest is a common application of exponential growth. The amount of
money in an account grows exponentially over time when interest is compounded
periodically.
Population Growth
The growth of populations, whether it's the human population or the population of
a species, can often be modeled using exponential functions.
Radioactive Decay
The decay of radioactive substances follows an exponential decay model. The
amount of a radioactive substance decreases exponentially over time.
Differentiation Of Trigonometric Functions
The inverse trigonometric functions are functions that "undo" the actions of their
corresponding trigonometric functions. They are used to find angles given certain
trigonometric ratios.
These derivatives are helpful in calculus when dealing with functions involving
inverse trigonometric functions, especially when finding rates of change or slopes
and for solving problems involving angles and trigonometric ratios. Here are the
main inverse trigonometric functions.

Higher Order Derivatives
Derivatives are useful in many fields including not only math's but also physics
and engineering.
To calculate the profit and loss in business using graphs .
To determine the speed or distance covered such as miles per hour, kilometers
per hour etc.
In medicines, derivatives are used to model the rate of diffusion of drugs in the
body and to understand physiological process involving rates of changes.
In seismology, derivatives make it possible for scientists to determine the range
of magnitude of an earthquake
Application of derivatives in real life
In biology, by using the concept of derivatives scientists can forecast the growth rate of a virus.
In chemistry, derivatives finds extensive usage across different aspects of chemistry.
In physics, derivatives are utilized to drive numerous equation.
ln sports, derivatives are used to analyze player performance, optimize training routines and
predict outcomes.
ln computer science, derivatives are used in algorithm, machine learning and image processing.
To monitor temperature changes
Consider a car's position with respect to time. The derivative of this position function would give
the car's instantaneous velocity, offering insight into its speed at any given moment—a practical
application of derivatives in understanding motion in everyday scenarios.
