8.2 Table of Derivatives: D y D X !

This document provides a table of common functions and their derivatives. The table lists various functions and their corresponding derivatives. It includes functions such as polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions and their inverses. Exercises are also provided for the reader to practice taking derivatives of functions using the table as a reference.
