Limits of the indeterminate forms may be evaluated using L’Hopital’s Rule.
Direct application of the definition of the derivative can be used to find the derivative for selected functions, including polynomial, power, sine, cosine, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
Specific rules can be used to calculate derivatives for classes of functions, including polynomial, rational, power, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric.
The chain rule can be used to find the derivative of an inverse function, provided the derivative of that function exists.
