JEE Main Maths Formulas 2026 - Students preparing for JEE Main 2026 should keep the list of important formulas for JEE Main 2026. This list of JEE Main Maths formulas 2026 helps students to solve questions quickly. While creating short notes, it is a must to list down the important formulas for JEE Mains 2026. This exam is conducted by the NTA (National Testing Agency) in two sessions. JEE Main 2026 Session 1 has already ended, and the JEE Main Session 2 will be held from 2 April to 9 April 2026. This year, several changes have been made: dark mode has been enabled, font size has been adjusted, and screen zoom-in and zoom-out options have been added.
There will be 14 chapters in mathematics, including the Class 11 and 12 topics, according to the new JEE Main syllabus given by NTA. Hence, it is suggested to follow the NCERT books to prepare for JEE Mains.
Candidates must go through all the formulae and practice the mathematical problems. Without formulas, you cannot solve any problem, though you know how to solve it. Revising the formulas daily is very important. Here we have provided the Mathematics formulas for JEE Mains.
1. Standard form of Quadratic equation:
2. General equation: $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\left(b^2-4 a c\right)}}{2 a}$
3. Sum of roots
4. Product of roots discriminate
5. $\sin ^2(x)+\cos ^2(x)=1$
6. $1+\tan ^2(x)=\sec ^2(x)$ )
7. $1+\cot ^2(x)=\operatorname{cosec}^2(x)$
8. Limit of a sum or difference:
9. Limit of a product:
$
\lim (f(x) g(x))=\lim f(x) \times \lim g(x)
$
10. Limit of a quotient: $\lim \left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right)=\frac{\lim f(x)}{\lim g(x)}$ if
$
\lim g(x) \neq 0
$
11. Power Rule: $\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^n\right)=n x^{(n-1)}$
12. Sum/Difference Rule:
$
\frac{d}{d x}(f(x) \pm g(x))=f^{\prime}(x) \pm g^{\prime}(x)
$
13. Product Rule:
$
\frac{d}{d x}(f(x) g(x))=f^{\prime}(x) g(x)+f(x) g^{\prime}(x)
$
14. Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right)=\frac{\left[g(x) f^{\prime}(x)-f(x) g^{\prime}(x)\right]}{g^2(x)}$
15. $\int x^n d x=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+c$ where $n \neq-1$
16. $\int \frac{1}{x} d x=\log _e|x|+c$
17. $\int e^x d x=e^x+c$
18. $\int a^x d x=\frac{a^\omega}{\log _e a}+c$
19. Probability Formula
$
\begin{aligned}
& -P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B) \\
& -P(A \cap B)=P(A) \times P\left(\frac{B}{A}\right) \\
& -P\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)=\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}
\end{aligned}
$
20. Trigonometric Limits
Some important JEE formulas for trigonometric limit are
(i) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1$
(ii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}=1$
(iii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (x-a)}{x-a}=1$
As $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan x}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \frac{1}{\cos x}$
$
=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \times \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\cos x}=1 \times 1
$
As $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (x-a)}{x-a}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ((a+h)-a)}{(a+h)-a}$
$
\begin{gathered}
=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin h}{h} \\
=1
\end{gathered}
$
(iv) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\tan (x-a)}{x-a}=1$
(v) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\sin (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$
Similarly, $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{\tan (f(x))}{f(x)}=1$, if $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=0$
(vi) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \cos x=1$
(vii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=1$
As
$
\begin{gathered}
\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{x}=\lim _{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{y}{\sin y} \quad\left[\because \sin ^{-1} x=y\right] \\
=1
\end{gathered}
$
(viii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x}=1$
21. Exponential Limits
(i) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^x-1}{x}=\log _e a$
Proof:
$$
\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a^x-1}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\left(1+\frac{x(\log a)}{11}+\frac{x^2(\log a)^2}{2!}+\cdots\right)-1}{x}
$$
[using Taylor series expansion of $a^x$ ]
$
\begin{gathered}
=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\log a}{1!}+\frac{x(\log a)^2}{2!}+\cdots\right) \\
=\log _e a
\end{gathered}
$
(ii) $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^x-1}{x}=1$
In General, if $x \rightarrow a$, then we have
(a) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{a^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log _e a$
(b) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{e^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log _e e=1$
