Derivative of A Constant

1. The document discusses key concepts in calculus including: - The derivative of a constant is always 0 - The power rule helps find the derivative of a variable raised to a power - Sum and difference rules relate to adding and subtracting functions 2. Marginal analysis calculates the rate of change between quantities like production costs. The marginal cost function shows how costs change with different production levels. 3. Profit maximization problems can be solved by taking the derivative of the profit function and setting it equal to 0 to find the optimal production quantity.

1. DERIVATIVE OF A CONSTANT 2.

POWER RULE
- The derivative of a constant is always 0. - The power rule in calculus is a fairly simple rule that helps
you find the derivative of a variable raised to a power. All
you do is take the exponent, multiply it by the coefficient
(the number in front of the x), and decrease the exponent
by 1.

3. CONSTANT AND VARIABLE 4. SUM AND DIFFERENCE RULE


- Same rule sa power rule. - The Sum rule says the derivative of a sum of functions is
the sum of their derivatives. The Difference rule says the
derivative of a difference of functions is the difference of
their derivatives.

5. PRODUCT 6. CHAIN RULE

1. A dealer of water purified finds that when the price is ₱4,000, sales are at unit 6 units monthly. When price goes
up to ₱5,000, the demand is 5 units.
a. Find the dealers price & the revenue function
b. But if the overhead is ₱2,500 per month find the production cost function and profit function.
c. Find the production that will maximize profit.

Solution:

a. Y= Dealer’s Price; Rx = revenue function
