  2. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

  3. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    The derivative of ′ is the second derivative, denoted as ⁠ ″ ⁠, and the derivative of ″ is the third derivative, denoted as ⁠ ‴ ⁠. By continuing this process, if it exists, the ⁠ n {\displaystyle n} ⁠ th derivative is the derivative of the ⁠ ( n − 1 ) {\displaystyle (n-1)} ⁠ th derivative or the derivative of order ...

  4. Differentiation rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiation_rules

    The derivatives in the table above are for when the range of the inverse secant is [,] and when the range of the inverse cosecant is [,]. It is common to additionally define an inverse tangent function with two arguments , arctan ⁡ ( y , x ) . {\displaystyle \arctan(y,x).}

  5. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    for the first derivative, for the second derivative, for the third derivative, and for the nth derivative. When f is a function of several variables, it is common to use "∂", a stylized cursive lower-case d, rather than "D". As above, the subscripts denote the derivatives that are being taken.

  6. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

    Define () = to be the unique solution to the differential equation with initial value: ′ =, =, where ′ = denotes the derivative of y. Functional equation. The exponential function e x {\displaystyle e^{x}} is the unique function f with the multiplicative property f ( x + y ) = f ( x ) f ( y ) {\displaystyle f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)} for all x , y ...

  7. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    velocity is the derivative (with respect to time) of an object's displacement (distance from the original position) acceleration is the derivative (with respect to time) of an object's velocity, that is, the second derivative (with respect to time) of an object's position. For example, if an object's position on a line is given by

  8. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. Let () = (), where both f and g are differentiable and ()

  9. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The function e (−1/x 2) is not analytic at x = 0: the Taylor series is identically 0, although the function is not. If f ( x ) is given by a convergent power series in an open disk centred at b in the complex plane (or an interval in the real line), it is said to be analytic in this region.
