Differentiability - Theory Session (Notes)

The document discusses differentiability of functions including: 1. The physical and geometrical meanings of differentiability as the instantaneous rate of change and existence of a unique tangent line at a point. 2. The definition of differentiability using limits of the right and left hand derivatives being equal and finite. 3. Examples of functions being differentiable or non-differentiable at various points due to reasons like sharp corners, discontinuities, or vertical tangents.

Differentiability – One Shot


All Concepts and PYQs
❑ Differentiability

• Physical Meaning – Instantaneous rate of change of function

• Geometrical Meaning – Slope of the tangent drawn to the curve at x = a


if exists
A function is said to be differentiable at x = a if unique tangent exist
❑ Differentiability – Slope of Tangent
❑ Differentiability

′ + 𝑓 𝑎+ℎ − 𝑓 𝑎
R.H.D. = 𝑓 𝑎 = lim
ℎ→0 ℎ

′ − 𝑓 𝑎−ℎ − 𝑓 𝑎
L.H.D. = 𝑓 𝑎 = lim
ℎ→0 ℎ
❑ Existence of Derivative

L.H.D. = R.H.D. = finite

Continuity ⇏ Derivability
❑ Theorem

Non-Derivability ⇏ Discontinuous

Discontinuous ⇒ Non-Derivability
❑ Reasons for non-derivability

1) Sharp corner
2) f(x) is discontinuous
3) Vertical tangent
❑ Derivative Using First Principle

1) f(x) = x2
2) f(x) = sin x
❑ Derivability over an open/close interval

f(x) is said to be derivable over an open interval (a, b) if it is derivable at


each point of the interval.
❑ Derivability over close interval

1) Derivable at each point in (a, b)


2) Derivable at end points i.e., f’(a+) and f’(b-) exists

❑ Functional Equations

Functional Equation N Function

f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) f(x) = kx

f(x + y) = f(x).f(y) f(x) = ax

f(xy) = f(x) + f(y) f(x) = k ln x (or) f(x) = 0

f(xy) = f(x).f(y) f(x) = xn

f(x).f(1/x) = f(x) + f(1/x) f(x) = 1 ± xn, where n ∈ N


❑ Proof

f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) ⇒ f(x) = kx


❑ Proof

f(x + y) = f(x).f(y) ⇒ f(x) = ax
