Below is a table of some real-valued functions and their corresponding derivatives:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline\hline
$f(x)$ & $\displaystyle{\frac{df(x)}{dx}} = f'(x)$ \\
\hline\hline
$f(x) + g(x)$ & $f'(x)+g'(x)$\\
\hline
$f(x)g(x)$ & $f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x)$\\
\hline
$\displaystyle \frac{f(x)}{g(x)},\, g\neq 0$ & $\displaystyle \frac{f'(x)g(x)-f(x)g'(x)}{g(x)^2}$\\
\hline
$f(g(x))$&$f'(g(x))g'(x)$\\
\hline
$c\in \mathbb{R}$ & 0 \\
\hline
$x^r$ & $rx^{r-1}$ \\
\hline
$a^x$&$a^x\ln{a}$\\
\hline
$\exp(x)=e^x$ & $\exp(x)=e^x$\\
\hline
$\ln x$ & $\displaystyle{\frac{1}{x}}$ \\
\hline
$\sin{x}$ & $\cos{x}$\\
\hline
$\cos{x}$ & $-\sin{x}$\\
\hline
$\sinh{x}$&$\cosh{x}$\\
\hline
$\cosh{x}$&$\sinh{x}$\\
\hline
% add your function here & add its derivative here \\
% \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\textbf{Instructions on how to add a function and its derivative}. Open the entry in edit mode. Make a copy of the two lines of comment (starting with \%) in the code (within the tabular environment), and paste it immediately before the comment. Uncomment the lines (take out the \% symbols) after completing. Preview before saving the entry.
