Differentiation 1

This class gives you everything you need to master differentiation for the Leaving Cert.

We break down how to differentiate all the key functions — including:

• Polynomials (using the power rule)

• Trigonometric functions (including powers of trig)

• Logarithmic functions (with log rule techniques)

• Exponential functions

• The Product, Quotient, and Chain Rules

We also apply these skills to the most common exam-style problems:

• Differentiating from first principles

• Finding maximum and minimum values

• Using the second derivative to find points of inflection

• Finding equations of tangents

• Graphical understanding of derivatives

You’ll also get a custom-made worksheet packed with the most commonly asked questions — plus full step-by-step solutions so you can practice effectively and secure every mark.
