$$f(x) = (4x^2-3x+1)^7$$
$$f´(x) = 7(4x^2-3x+1)^6 (8x-3)$$
### Trigonometric derivative rules
$$
\frac{d}{dx}\sin x = \cos x \\
\frac{d}{dx}\cos x = -\sin x \\
$$
These primary derived rules can be used to further derive the derivatives of the other trignometric ratios:
$$
\frac{d}{dx}\tan x = \sec^2 x \\
\frac{d}{dx}\csc x = -\csc x\cdot\cot x \\
\frac{d}{dx}\sec x = \sec x\cdot\tan x
$$
The **chain rule** applies to trigonometric functions and will be applied recursively if needed.
!!! example
$$\frac{d}{dx}[\sin g(x)]^n = n[\sin g(x)]^{n-1}\cdot\cos x\cdot g´(x)$$
Trigonometric identities are not polynomial so values on an interval need to be determined by substituting values between vertical asymptotes and critical points.
### Higher order derivatives
The **second derivative** of $f(x)$ is the derivative of the first derivative of $f(x)$, that is, $f´´(x)$.
