This free exponential and logarithmic derivatives worksheet helps AP Calculus AB students differentiate eˣ, aˣ, ln x and logarithms of any base. The 10-page printable PDF covers why e is special, deriving the derivative of eˣ, and using the chain, product and quotient rules with exponential and log functions.
Students also simplify with log properties, use logarithmic differentiation, apply the power rule for any real exponent, write tangent lines, find horizontal tangents, and solve growth and decay problems. Mixed review, a challenge problem and a graphing challenge make it ideal for classwork, homework or AP exam review.
