DERIVATIVE OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Given x where
Then x. Also x ⇒ ea
Examples:
Differentiate with respect the following:
- tanx b. cosx c. x-x d. x½
Solution:
- etanx
Let tanx u
u ; 2 ⇒u.2 2tanx
- cosx
Let cosx then, ea.
ea ⇒ ea cosxlogea.
- ex – e-x
ex – e-x
ex – ( – ex) = ex + e-x

- a2x – a-2x
- atanx
SUB TOPIC: RULES OF DIFFERENTIATION
DERIVATIVE OF A SUM
Supposing and are functions of such that: ;
then,
Hence, the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.
Similarly, the derivative of a different is the different of the derivative.
That is:
Examples:
- find the differential coefficient of 63
solution:
636352
- Differentiate with respect to , 2
Solution:
22
FUNCTION OF A FUNCTION
Given that is a function of and itself is also a function of , then the derivative of with respect to can be find using this method:
this method is also called CHAIN RULE.
Example:
- Differentiate 2
Solution:
Let 2 ⇒½
½ – 1 -½ 2

Let U
DERIVATIVE OF A PRODUCT OF FUNCTION.
If where are both functions of then
Example:
- Differentiate with respect to 34
Solution:
34
2 3
33 4. 2632
- Find with respect to 2
DERIVATIVE OF A QUOTIENT FUNCTION
If are both functions of then:
V2
This formula is called quotient rule.
Example:
Find the derivative of
Solution:
Let
(x+1)2
Simplify the above to the minimum value.
CLASS ACTIVITY:
- Differentiate 24 with respect to using chain rule.
- Given that 4 , find .
- Differentiate
- Differentiate
- Differentiate with respect to

- 44)
SUB TOPIC: HIGHER DERIVATIVES
This implies finding the derivative of a given function beyond first derivative. It can extend to any number of derivatives as so required.
Example:
Find of the following:
- 5 b. 63-3x
Solution:
5
CLASS ACTIVITY:
432
- Given that
Find
- Use quotient rule to find the derivative of each of the following:
- b.
