This study guide covers the derivatives section of the AP Calculus AB/BC exam, including the definition of a derivative, its interpretation as instantaneous rate of change and slope of the tangent line, and cases where derivatives do not exist. It also details derivative computation using rules like the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and derivatives of trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Finally, the guide provides practice questions and emphasizes key concepts for exam success.
