    JEE Main Maths 2026 Formulas

    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.

    JEE Main Maths Formula List 2026

    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: $a x^2+b x+c=0$

    2. General equation: $x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{\left(b^2-4 a c\right)}}{2 a}$

    3. Sum of roots =$-\frac{b}{a}$

    4. Product of roots discriminate =$b^2-4 a c$

    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: $\lim (f(x) \pm g(x))=\lim f(x) \pm \lim g(x)$

    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) $\lim _{x \rightarrow a} \frac{e^{f(x)}-1}{f(x)}=\log _e e=1$

    Remembering important formulas from Maths will be very useful for the students preparing for the JEE Main 2025 exam. Students should practice a few questions on each formula just to remember them easily.
