🧮 Key Formulas
✅ Key Points for JEE
- 1Memorize all standard derivative formulas thoroughly, as they are the foundational building blocks for all differentiation problems.
- 2Pay close attention to the signs in the derivatives of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions (e.g., d/dx(cos x) is -sin x, d/dx(cot x) is -cosec^2 x).
- 3Understand the domain restrictions for inverse trigonometric functions, especially for derivatives like sec^-1 x and cosec^-1 x.
- 4The constant of differentiation is zero, so d/dx(c) = 0 is a fundamental rule.
- 5Differentiating terms like x^n, e^x, and log x correctly forms the basis for logarithmic and exponential differentiation.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕Incorrect signs for derivatives of co-functions (cos, cot, cosec) and their inverses.
- ✕Forgetting the log_e a factor when differentiating a^x or the 1/(log_e a) factor for log_a x.
- ✕Confusing the power rule (d/dx(x^n)) with the exponential rule (d/dx(a^x)).
