Index laws

Zero and negative indices

Rational indices

Exponential and logarithmic functions

Logarithms

Formula for converting one base to another

Derivative of exponential functions

ddxex=ex

Evaluation of e

Natural logarithms

Derivative of ekx, k a constant

ddxekx=kekx

ekxdx=1kekx+c

Derivative of logex

ddxlogex=1x,x>0

1xdx=logex+c

Derivative of loge(ax), a > 0

ddxloge(ax)=1x

Derivative of loge(ax+b)

ddxloge(ax+b)=aax+b

ddxlogef(x)=f(x)f(x)

f(x)f(x)dx=logef(x)
