1 Differentiation – Learning Outcomes Differentiate polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Differentiate sums and real multiples of these functions. Solve problems about composite functions using the chain rule. Solve problems about products and quotients using product and quotient rules. Find higher derivatives of functions, particularly second derivatives.
