Here you will find problems on applying basic rules of differentiation and also problems on identifying the correct first step when differentiating complicated expressions.
If you want to refer to sections of Methods Survey on differentiation while working the exercises, you can click here and it will appear in a separate full-size window. Similarly, here we offer Theory - Derivatives.
Find derivative of the following expressions:
For the following expressions, determine the last operation that is performed and apply the appropriate rule for differentiation; that is, apply the first rule that should be used when trying to find derivative of the expression. You can stop there, here we do not want to work out the whole derivative.
