Power rule: If f(x)= 2x² then f'(x)= 2*2x²⁻¹->4x. Very fun rule! You will be using this as the basis to use product, quotient, chain rules and solve various other complicated derivatives.
Sum and Difference Rule: Utilizing the power rule, if f(x)=2x² + 3x⁴ then, f'(x)= 4x +12x³, essentially power ruling each term.
