Below is a table containing a list of common functions and their derivatives.

f(x) f ‘(x)
c (constant) 0
xn nxn-1
ln(x) 1/x
ex ex
eax aeax
sin(x) cos(x)
cos(x) -sin(x)
tan(x) sec2(x)
cosec(x) -cosec(x)cot(x)
sec(x) sec(x)tan(x)
cot(x) -cosec2(x)
sin-1(x) \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
cos-1(x) \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
tan-1 \frac{1}{1+x^2}
sinh(x) cosh(x)
cosh(x) sinh(x)
tanh(x) sech2(x)
cosech(x) -coth(x)cosech(x)
sech(x) -tanh(x)sech(x)
coth(x) -cosech2(x)
sinh-1(x) \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}
cosh-1 \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}
tanh-1 \frac{1}{1-x^2}
a(x)b(x) a’(x)b(x) + b’(x)a(x)
\frac{a(x)}{b(x)} \frac{a'(x)b(x) - b'(x)a(x)}{a^{2}(x)}
a(b(x)) \frac{da}{db}(b(x))\frac{db}{dx}

If there any more standard derivatives that I have missed out please leave them in the comments section :)
