Definition of Derivatives

The document provides information about a lesson on applying the derivative by its definition at a given number. It includes the content/topic, objectives, reference material, and lesson proper. The lesson proper defines the derivative, provides sample problems to find the derivative of functions using the definition at given numbers, and poses questions about how the derivative relates to the slope of a curve and tangent lines. An exercise is assigned to find indicated derivatives of several functions using the definition.

IV. LESSON PROPER


Concept Note #10: APPLICATION OF DERIVATIVE BY ITS DEFINITION AT A GIVEN NUMBER
DEFINITION OF DERIVATIVES

Let f be a function defined on an open interval I ⊆ R , and let x 0∊ I . The


derivative of f at x 0 is defined to be

f ( x )−f ( x 0 )
f ' (x 0 )= lim
x→ x0 x−x 0

If this limit exists. That is, the derivative of f at x 0.

ANSWERING SAMPLE PROBLEMS:


Find f ’ (1) for each of the following functions
a.) 2 x2 + 4
2x
b.)
x+1

c.) √ x+ 8
After the demonstration of sample problems number 1 and 2 encourage the students to try the
number 3 in the sample problems then answer these following questions.
1.) How does the slope of the curve of the function at a given number relate to the formula of
derivative by its definition?
2.) How does the concept of a tangent line help in finding the derivative of a function at a given
number?
V. EXERCISE / ASSESSMENT
For each of the following functions, find the indicated derivative using the definition.
1.) x 2−4 x+1 ; f ' (2)
2.) x 3+ 2; f ' (−2)
3.) 2 x 4 +3 x3 −2 x +7 ; f ' (0)
