Chapter 1 : Differentiation

1.3 Differentiation

• Given a continuous function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦

• Differentiation is the slope/tangent at (𝑥, 𝑦)

• Differentiation = instantaneous rate of change of 𝑓(𝑥) in the range 𝑥 to 𝑥 + ∆𝑥.

• Write :

"#(%) "'
𝑓 ! (𝑥) = "%
= "% = 𝑦 ! (1.3)

• Then:
"' ∆'
"%
= lim (1.4)
∆%→* ∆%

• Given 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 +

"'
"%
= 𝑛𝑥 +,- (1.5)

• Given 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎- 𝑓- (𝑥) + 𝑎. 𝑓. (𝑥) + ⋯ + 𝑎/ 𝑓/ (𝑥)

𝑎0 = constants

"' "#! (%) "#" (%) "## (%)


"%
= 𝑎- "%
+ 𝑎. "%
+ ⋯ + 𝑎/ "%
(1.6)

• Product rule : given 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑢(𝑥)𝑣(𝑥) then

• Quotient rule : given 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 2(%)
then

$% $'
" 1 2 ,1
𝑦 ! = 𝑓 ! (𝑥) = "% 22 3 = $&
2"
$&
(1.8)

• Chain rule : given 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑧) and 𝑧 = 𝑔(𝑥) then

"' "' "3


𝑦 ! = "% = 2 "3 3 2"% 3 (1.9)

• Given 𝑦 = ln 𝑓(𝑥) then 𝑦 = ln 𝑧, 𝑧 = 𝑓(𝑥)

using (1.9)
"' "' "3 - "3 - "#(%)
"%
= "3 "%
. = 3 . "% = #(%) "%

" - "#(%)
∴ "% ln 𝑓(𝑥) = #(%) "%
(1.10)

• Given 𝑦 = 𝑒 #(%) then

"' " "#(%)


"%
= "% 𝑒 #(%) = 𝑒 #(%) "%
(1.11)

• Implicit differentiation: given 𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑡), 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑡) then

"' "'/"6
"%
= "%/"6 (1.12)
