Limits and derivatives worksheets Grade 12

Limits, the power, product, quotient and chain rules, derivatives of trig, exponential and log functions, and their uses.

  1. Evaluating limitsEvaluate limits by substitution, factoring, and comparing highest powers.
  2. The power rule for derivativesDifferentiate powers of x, including roots and fractions written as powers.
  3. The product ruleDifferentiate products with (uv)′ = u′v + uv′.
  4. The quotient ruleDifferentiate quotients with the quotient rule.
  5. The chain ruleDifferentiate composite functions: the outside, then times the inside's derivative.
  6. Derivatives of trig, exponential and log functionsDifferentiate sin, cos, eˣ and ln x, with the chain and product rules.
  7. Equation of a tangent lineFind the equation of the tangent line at a point.
  8. Derivatives as rates of changeUse derivatives to find velocity and other rates of change.
  9. Finding maximum and minimum pointsFind critical points and classify them with the second derivative.
