Use standard tables for derivatives of basic functions.

Actually, you need to know these tables as the multiplication table . . .

If f(x) = e%5Ex + x%5Ee,  then


   f'(x) = e%5Ex + e%2Ax%5E%28e-1%29.



Regarding your first function, I can not distinct between


y = - ln(x^4) + e%5E7   and   y = - (ln(x))^4 + e%5E7.


Use parentheses to make your formulas unambiguous.
