| $\sin ax$ | $a\cos ax$ |
| $\cos x$ | $-\sin x$ |
| $\cos ax$ | $-a \sin ax$ |
+| $\tan f(x)$ | $f^2(x) \sec^2f(x)$ |
| $e^x$ | $e^x$ |
| $e^{ax}$ | $ae^{ax}$ |
| $ax^{nx}$ | $an \cdot e^{nx}$ |

+Reciprocal derivatives:
+
+$${{dy \over dx} \over 1} = dx \over dy$$
+
+## Differentiating $x=f(y)$
+
+Find $dx \over dy$. Then $dx \over dy = {1 \over {dy \over dx}} \therefore {dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}}$.
+
+$${dy \over dx} = {1 \over {dx \over dy}}$$
+
+## Second derivative
+
+$$f(x) \implies f^\prime (x) \implies f^{\prime\prime}(x)$$
+
+$$\therefore y \implies {dy \over dx} \implies {d({dy \over dx}) \over dx} \implies {d^2 y \over dx^2}$$
+
+Order of polynomial $n$th derivative decrements each time the derivative is taken
+
+### Points of Inflection
+
+*Stationary point* - point of zero gradient (i.e. $f^\prime(x)=0$)
+*Point of inflection* - point of maximum $|$gradient$|$ (i.e. $f^{\prime\prime} = 0$)
+
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime}(a) > 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a local min (curve is concave up)
+- if $f^\prime (a) = 0$ and $f^{\prime\prime} (a) < 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is local max (curve is concave down)
+- if $f^{\prime\prime}(a) = 0$, then point $(a, f(a))$ is a point of inflection
+- - if also $f^\prime(a)=0$, then it is a stationary point of inflection

## Applications of antidifferentiation
To find stationary points of a function, substitute $x$ value of given point into derivative. Solve for ${dy \over dx}=0$. Integrate to find original function.
