First principle of differentiation

1. The derivative of a given function f at a point x = a in its domain represent the slope of the tangent at
that point, and it is defined as:

Limit f (a  h)f (a) , provided the limit exists & is denoted by f (a).
h 0
h

f ( x )f (a)
i.e. f (a) = Limit
x a , provided the limit exists.
x a

2. If x and x + h belong to the domain of a function f defined by y = f(x), then

Limit f ( x  h)f ( x ) if it exists, is called the Derivative of f at x & is denoted by f (x) or dy .


h 0 dx
h

f ( x  h)f ( x )
i.e., f (x) = Limit
h 0
h
This method of differentiation is also called ab-initio method or first principle method.

Example # 1 : Find derivative of following functions by first principle with respect to x.


(i) f(x) = x 2 (ii) f(x) = tan x (iii) f(x) = esinx

Basic theorems :
Sum of two differentiable functions is always differentiable.
Sum of two non-differentiable functions may be differentiable.

There are certain basic theorems in differentiation:


d
1. (f ± g) = f(x) ± g(x)
dx

d d
2. (k f(x)) = k f(x)
dx dx

d
3. (f(x) . g(x)) = f(x) g(x) + g(x) f(x)
dx

d  f (x)  g( x ) f ( x )  f ( x ) g( x )
4.   =
dx  g( x )  g2 ( x )

d
5. (f(g(x))) = f(g(x)) g(x)
dx

This rule is also called the chain rule of differentiation and can be written as
dy dy dz
= .
dx dz dx
Note that an important inference obtained from the chain rule is that
dy dy dx
=1= .
dy dx dy

dy 1
 =
dx dx / dy
another way of expressing the same concept is by considering y = f(x) and x = g(y) as inverse functions
of each other.

Solution : (i) f(x) = sin ( 2x  3)

 f(x) = ( sin ( 2x  3) ) = . (sin (2x + 3)) (chain rule)

(ii) f(x) =  f(x) = (Quotiant rule)
1 x2 (1  x 2 )2

1 x2
=
(1  x 2 )2
(iii) f(x) = x sin x
 f(x) = x. cos x + sin x (Product rule)

Example # 3 : If f(x) = sin (x + tanx), then find value of f(0).


Solution :  f(x) = sin (x + tanx)
 f(x) = cos (x + tanx) (1 + sec 2x) (chain rule)
Hence, f(0) = 2

Implicit differentiation :

If f(x, y) = 0, is an implicit function i.e. y can't be expressed explicitly as a function of x then in order to
find dy/dx, we differentiate each term w.r.t. x regarding y as a function of x and then collect terms in
dy/dx.

Solution : Differentiating both sides w.r.t.x, we get

Let a function y = f(x) be defined on an open interval (a, b). It’s derivative, if it exists in (a, b) is a certain
function f  (x) [or (dy/dx) or y ] & is called the first derivative of y w. r. t. x.
If it happens that the first derivative has a derivative in (a, b) then this derivative is called the second
derivative of y w. r. t. x & is denoted by f (x) or (d2y/dx 2) or y  . While the first derivative denotes slope
of the graph, the second derivative denotes it's concavity.

Example # 22 : y = sin (sinx) then prove that y + (tanx) y + y cos2x = 0

Solution : Such expression can be easily proved using implicit differentiation


 y = cos (sin x) cos x
 sec x.y = cos (sin x)
again differentiating w.r.t x, we get
secx y + y sec x tan x = – sin (sin x) cos x
 y + y tan x = – y cos2 x
 y +(tanx) y + y cos2x = 0

Derivative as rate of change


In various fields of applied mathematics one has the quest to know the rate at which one variable is
changing, with respect to other. The rate of change naturally refers to time. But we can have rate of
change with respect to other variables also.
An economist may want to study how the investment changes with respect to variations in interest
rates.
A physician may want to know, how small changes in dosage can affect the body's response to a drug.
A physicist may want to know the rate of charge of distance with respect to time.
All questions of the above type can be interpreted and represented using derivatives.

Definition : The average rate of change of a function f(x) with respect to x over an interval [a, a + h] is
f (a  h)  f (a)
defined as .
h
f (a  h)  f (a)
Definition : The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) with respect to x is defined as f(x) = hlim
0
,
h
provided the limit exists.

Note : To use the word 'instantaneous', x may not be representing time. We usually use the word 'rate of
change' to mean 'instantaneous rate of change'.

Tangent and Normal

Let y = f(x) be function with graph as shown in figure. Consider secant


PQ. If Q tends to P along the curve passing through the points
Q 1, Q 2, .....
I.e. Q  P, secant PQ will become tangent at P. A line through P
perpendicular to tangent is called normal at P.

Geometrical Meaning of dy
dx
As Q  P, h  0 and slope of chord PQ tends to slope of tangent at P (see figure).
f ( x  h)  f ( x )
Slope of chord PQ =

(y – y1) = f(x 1) (x – x 1) ; when, f(x 1) is real.

Also, since normal is a line perpendicular to tangent at (x 1 , y1) so its equation is given by

(y – y1) = – (x – x 1), when f(x 1) is nonzero real.
f ( x1 )
If f(x 1) = 0, then tangent is the line y = y 1 and normal is the line x = x 1.

Example # 5 Find equation of tangent to y = ex at x = 0. Hence draw graph

Solution At x = 0  y = e0 = 1

Hence point of tangent is (0, 1)

Hence equation of tangent is

– 1(x – 0) = (y + 1) and – 1 (x – 2) = (y – 1)
 x+y+1=0 and y+x=3

Example # 7 Find equation of normal to the curve y = |x 2 – | x | | at x = – 2.


Solution : In the neighborhood of x = – 2, y = x 2 + x.
Hence the point of contact is (– 2, 2)

So the slope of normal at (– 2, 2) is .

Hence equation of normal is

Hence coordinates of point Q is (2, 1) and so equation of required normal becomes x + y = 3.

Note : The equation gives only one real value of h, hence there is only one point of contact implying that only

Tangent from an external point

Given a point P(a, b) which does not lie on the curve y = f(x), then the equation of possible tangents to
the curve y = f(x), passing through (a, b) can be found by solving for the point of contact Q.

Example # 10 Find value of c such that line joining points (0, 3) and (5, – 2) becomes tangent to curve

Solving this line and curve we get


c
3–x=  x 2 – 2x + (c – 3) = 0 ......(i)
x 1
For tangency, roots of this equation must be equal.
Hence discriminant of quadratic equation = 0
 4 = 4 (c – 3)  c=4
Putting c = 4, equation (i) becomes
x 2 – 2x + 1 = 0  x=1
Hence point of contact becomes (1, 2).

Note : If a line touches a curve then on solving the equation of line and curve we get at least two repeated roots
corresponding to point of contact.

Example # 11 Tangent at P(2, 8) on the curve y = x 3 meets the curve again at Q. Find coordinates of Q.

Solution : Equation of tangent at (2, 8) is


y = 12x – 16
Solving this with y = x 3
x 3 – 12x + 16 = 0

This cubic will give all points of intersection of line and curve y = x 3 i.e., point P and Q. (see
figure)
But, since line is tangent at P so x = 2 will be a repeated root of equation x 3 – 12x + 16 = 0 and
another root will be x = h. Using theory of equations :
sum of roots  2+2+h=0  h=–4
Hence coordinates of Q are (– 4, – 64)

Lengths of tangent, normal, subtangent and subnormal :

Let P (h, k) be any point on curve y = f(x). Let tangent drawn at point P meets x-axis at T & normal at
point P meets x-axis at N. Then the length PT is called the length of tangent and PN is called length of
normal. (as shown in figure)

Projection of segment PT on x-axis, TM, is called the subtangent and similarly projection of line segment
PN on x axis, MN is called subnormal.

Let m = = slope of tangent.

Hence equation of tangent is m (x – h) = (y – k).

Angle between the curves


Angle between two intersecting curves is defined as the acute angle between their tangents (or normals) at
the point of intersection of two curves (as shown in figure).
m1  m 2
tan  =
1  m1m2

where m1 & m2 are the slopes of tangents at the intersection point (x1, y1).
AOD [53]
Notes : (i) The angle is defined between two curves if the curves are intersecting. This can be ensured by
finding their point of intersection or graphically.

(ii) If the curves intersect at more than one point then angle between curves is found out with respect to
the point of intersection.

(iii) Two curves are said to be orthogonal if angle between them at each point of intersection is right
angle. i.e. m1 m2 = – 1.

Example # 15 Find angle between y2 = 4x and x2 = 4y. Are these two curves orthogonal?
Solution : y2 = 4x and x2 = 4y intersect at point (0, 0) and (4, 4) (see figure).

Two curves are not orthogonal because angle between them at (4, 4) is not 90°.

Solution : Let the curves intersect at point (x1, y1) (see figure).

dy 2
for y2 = 4x, dx = y

dy 1 x / 2 y1
and for y = e–x/2 dx =– e 1 =–

Shortest distance between two curves


Shortest distance between two non-intersecting differentiable curves is always along their common normal.

Solution : Let P(x1, y1) be a point closest to the line y = x – 2

dy
then dx = slope of line
( x1 , y1 )

 2x1 + 3 = 1  x1 = – 1  y1 = 0

Error and Approximation :

Let y = f(x) be a function. If these is an error x in x then corresponding error in y is y = f(x + x) – f(x).
f ( x  x )  f ( x ) dy
We have lim = = f(x)

We define the differential of y, at point x, corresponding to the increment x as f(x) x and denote it by dy.
i.e. dy = f(x) x.
Let P(x, f(x)), Q((x + x), f(x + x)) (as shown in figure)
y = QS,
x = PS,

In many practical situations, it is easier to evaluate dy but not y.

Rolle’s Theorem :

If a function f defined on [a, b] is


(i) continuous on [a, b]
(ii) derivable on (a, b) and
(iii) f(a) = f(b),
then there exists at least one real number c between a and b (a < c < b) such that f(c) = 0

Geometrical Explanation of Rolle’s Theorem :

Let the curve y = f(x), which is continuous on [a, b] and derivable on (a, b), be drawn (as shown in figure).

A(a, f(a)), B(b, f(b)), f(a) = f(b), C(c, f(c)), f(c) = 0.

C1 (c1, f(c1)), f(c1) = 0


C2 (c2, f(c2)), f(c2) = 0
C3 (c3, f(c3)), f(c3) = 0
The theorem simply states that between two points with equal ordinates on the graph of f(x), there exists at
least one point where the tangent is parallel to x-axis.

Algebraic Interpretation of Rolle’s Theorem :

Between two zeros a and b of f(x) (i.e. between two roots a and b of f(x) = 0) there exists at least one zero of f(x)

Example # 19 : Verify Rolle’s theorem for f(x) = (x – a) n (x – b)m , where m, n are positive real numbers, for

Solution : Being a polynomial function f(x) is continuous as well as differentiable. Also f(a) = f(b)
 f(x) = 0 for some x  (a , b)
n(x – a)n–1 (x – b)m + m(x – a)n (x – b)m–1 = 0
 (x – a)n–1 (x – b)m–1 [(m + n) x – (nb + ma)] = 0

Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorem (LMVT) :

If a function f defined on [a, b] is


(i) continuous on [a, b] and
(ii) derivable on (a, b)
f (b )  f ( a )
then there exists at least one real numbers between a and b (a < c < b) such that = f(c)
ba

Proof : Let us consider a function g(x) = f(x) + x, x  [a, b]


where  is a constant to b determined such that g(a) = g(b).
f (b )  f ( a )
 =–
ba
Now the function g(x), being the sum of two continuous and derivable functions it self
(i) continuous on [a, b]
(ii) derivable on (a, b) and
(iii) g(a) = g(b).
Therefore, by Rolle’s theorem there exists a real number c  (a, b) such that g(c) = 0
But g(x) = f(x) + 
 0 = g(c) = f(c) + 
f (b )  f ( a )
f(c) = –  =

Geometrical Interpretation of LMVT :


The theorem simply states that between two points A and B of the graph of f(x) there exists at least one point
where tangent is parallel to chord AB.

C(c, f(c)), f(c) = slope of AB.

Alternative Statement : If in the statement of LMVT, b is replaced by a + h, then number c between a and b
may be written as a + h, where 0 <  < 1. Thus
f ( a  h)  f ( a)
= f(a + h) or f(a + h) = f(a) + hf (a + h), 0 <  < 1

Monotonicity of a function :
Let f be a real valued function having domain D(D  R) and S be a subset of D. f is said to be monotonically
increasing (non decreasing) (increasing) in S if for every x 1, x 2  S, x 1 < x 2  f(x 1)  f(x 2). f is said to be
monotonically decreasing (non increasing) (decreasing) in S if for every x 1, x2  S, x 1 < x 2  f(x 1)  f(x 2)
f is said to be strictly increasing in S if for x 1, x 2  S, x 1 < x 2  f(x 1) < f(x 2). Similarly, f is said to be
strictly decreasing in S if for x 1, x 2  S, x 1 < x 2  f(x 1) > f(x 2) .
AOD [58]
Notes : (i) f is strictly increasing  f is monotonically increasing (non decreasing). But converse need
not be true.
(ii) f is strictly decreasing  f is monotonically decreasing (non increasing). Again, converse need
not be true.
(iii) If f(x) = constant in S, then f is increasing as well as decreasing in S
(iv) A function f is said to be an increasing function if it is increasing in the domain. Similarly, if f is
decreasing in the domain, we say that f is monotonically decreasing
(v) f is said to be a monotonic function if either it is monotonically increasing or monotonically
decreasing
(vi) If f is increasing in a subset of S and decreasing in another subset of S, then f is non monotonic
in S.

Application of differentiation for detecting monotonicity :


Let  be an interval (open or closed or semi open and semi closed)
(i) If f(x) > 0  x  , then f is strictly increasing in 
(ii) If f(x) < 0  x  , then f is strictly decreasing in 

Note : Let I be an interval (or ray) which is a subset of domain of f. If f (x) > 0,  x   except for countably
many points where f (x) = 0, then f(x) is strictly increasing in .
{f (x) = 0 at countably many points  f (x) = 0 does not occur on an interval which is a subset of  }

Example # 24 : Let f(x) = x 3. Find the intervals of monotonicity.


Solution : f(x) = 3x 2
f(x) > 0 everywhere except at x = 0. Hence f(x) will be strictly increasing function for
x  R {see figure}

Example # 25 : Let f(x) = x – sinx. Find the intervals of monotonicity.


Solution : f(x) = 1 – cosx
Now, f(x) > 0 every where, except at x = 0, ± 2, ± 4 etc. But all these points are discrete
(countable) and do not form an interval. Hence we can conclude that f(x) is strictly increasing
in R. In fact we can also see it graphically.

Example # 26 : Let us consider another function whose graph is shown below for x  (a, b).

AOD [59]
Solution : Here also f(x)  0 for all x  (a, b). But, note that in this case, f(x) = 0 holds for all x  (c, d)
and (e, b). Thus the given function is increasing (monotonically increasing) in (a, b), but not
strictly increasing.

Example # 27 : Find the intervals in which f(x) = x 3 – 3x + 2 is increasing.


Solution : f(x) = x 3 – 3x + 2
f(x) = 3(x 2 – 1)

Note : If a function f(x) is increasing in (a, b) and f(x) is continuous in [a, b], then f(x) is increasing on [a, b]

Example # 29: f(x) = [x] is a step up function. Is it a strictly increasing function for x  R.

Solution : No, f(x) = [x] is increasing (monotonically increasing) (non-decreasing), but not strictly increasing

Monotonicity of function about a point :
1. A function f(x) is called as a strictly increasing function about a point (or at a point) a  Df if it is strictly
increasing in an open interval containing a (as shown in figure).

2. A function f(x) is called a strictly decreasing function about a point x = a, if it is strictly decreasing in
an open interval containing a (as shown in figure).

Note : If x = a is a boundary point then use the appropriate one sided inequality to test monotonicity of f(x).

Test for increasing and decreasing functions about a point


Let f(x) be differentiable.
(1) If f(a) > 0 then f(x) is increasing at x = a.
(2) If f(a) < 0 then f(x) is decreasing at x = a.
(3) If f(a) = 0 then examine the sign of f(x) on the left neighbourhood and the right neighbourhood
of a.
(i) If f(x) is positive on both the neighbourhoods, then f is increasing at x = a.
(ii) If f(x) is negative on both the neighbourhoods, then f is decreasing at x = a.
(iii) If f(x) have opposite signs on these neighbourhoods, then f is non-monotonic at x = a.

Example # 32: Let f(x) = x 3 – 3x + 2. Examine the monotonicity of function at points x = 0, 1, 2.


Solution : f(x) = x 3 – 3x + 2
f(x) = 3(x 2 – 1)
(i) f(0) = – 3  decreasing at x = 0
(ii) f(1) = 0
also, f(x) is positive on left neighbourhood and f(x) is negative in right neighbourhood.
 neither increasing nor decreasing at x = 1.
(iii) f(2) = 9  increasing at x = 2

Note : Above method is applicable only for functions those are continuous at x = a.

Concavity, convexity, point of inflection

A function f(x) is concave in (a, b) if tangent drawn at every point (x 0, (f(x 0)), for x 0  (a, b) lie below the
curve. f(x) is convex in (a,b) if tangent drawn at each point (x 0, f(x 0)), x 0  (a, b) lie above the curve.
A point (c, f(c)) of the graph y = f(x) is said to be a point of inflection of the graph, if f(x) is concave in
(c – , c) and convex in (c, c + ) (or vice verse), for some   R+.

Results : 1. If f(x) > 0  x  (a, b), then the curve y = f(x) is concave in (a, b)

2. If f(x) < 0  x  (a, b) then the curve y = f(x) is convex in (a, b)

3. If f is continuous at x = c and f(x) has opposite signs on either sides of c, then the
point (c, f(c)) is a point of inflection of the curve

4. If f(c) = 0 and f(c)  0, then the point (c, f(c)) is a point of inflection

Global Maximum :
A function f(x) is said to have global maximum on a set E if there exists at least one c E such that f(x)  f(c)
for all x E.
We say global maximum occurs at x = c and global maximum (or global maximum value) is f(c).
Local Maxima :
A function f(x) is said to have a local maximum at x = c if f(c) is the greatest value of the function in a small
neighbourhood (c – h, c + h), h > 0 of c.
i.e. for all x (c – h, c + h), x c, we have f(x)  f(c).
i.e. f(c – )  f(c)  f(c + ), 0 < h

Note : If x = c is a boundary point then consider (c – h, c) or (c, c + h) (h > 0) appropriately.

Global Minimum :

A function f(x) is said to have a global minimum on a set E if there exists at least one c E such that f(x) 
f(c) for all x E.

Local Minima :

A function f(x) is said to have a local minimum at x = c if f(c) is the least value of the function in a small
neighbourhood (c – h, c + h), h > 0 of c.
i.e. for all x (c –h, c + h), x c, we have f(x)  f(c).
i.e. f(c – )  f(c)  f(c + ), 0 < h

Extrema :
A maxima or a minima is called an extrema.
Explanation :

Consider graph of y = f(x), x [a, b]

x = a, x = c2, x = c4 are points of local maxima, with maximum values f(a), f(c2), f(c4) respectively.
x = c1, x = c3, x = b are points of local minima, with minimum values f(c1), f(c3), f(b) respectively
x = c2 is a point of global maximum
x = c3 is a point of global minimum
Consider the graph of y = h(x), x [a, b)

h(c4)

h(c1)
h(c3)
h(c2)

Maxima, Minima for differentiable functions :

Mere definition of maxima, minima becomes tedious in solving problems. We use derivative as a tool to
overcome this difficulty.

A necessary condition for an extrema :

Let f(x) be differentiable at x = c.

Theorem : A necessary condition for f(c) to be an extremum of f(x) is that f(c) = 0.

i.e. f(c) is extremum  f(c) = 0

Note : f(c) = 0 is only a necessary condition but not sufficient

i.e. f(c) = 0  


 f(c) is extremum.

Consider f(x) = x3
f(0) = 0

but f(0) is not an extremum (see figure).

Sufficient condition for an extrema :

Let f(x) be a differentiable function.

Theorem : A sufficient condition for f(c) to be an extremum of f(x) is that f(x) changes sign as x passes through c.

i.e. f(c) is an extrema (see figure)  f(x) changes sign as x passes through c.

x = c is a point of maxima. f(x) changes sign from positive to negative.

x = c is a point of local minima (see figure), f(x) changes sign from negative to positive.
Stationary points :
The points on graph of function f(x) where f(x) = 0 are called stationary points.
Rate of change of f(x) is zero at a stationary point.

Example # 45: Find stationary points of the function f(x) = 4x3 – 6x2 – 24x + 9.
Solution : f(x) = 12x2 – 12x – 24
f(x) = 0  x = – 1, 2
f(– 1) = 23, f(2) = – 31
(– 1, 23), (2, – 31) are stationary points
AOD [72]
Example # 46: If f(x) = x 3 + ax 2 + bx + c has extreme values at x = – 1 and x = 3. Find a, b, c.
Solution. Extreme values basically mean maximum or minimum values, since f(x) is differentiable function so
f(– 1) = 0 = f(3)
f(x) = 3x 2 + 2ax + b
f(3) = 27 + 6a + b = 0
f(– 1) = 3 – 2a + b = 0
 a = – 3, b = – 9, c  R

First Derivative Test :

Let f(x) be continuous and differentiable function.


Step -  Find f(x)
Step - . Solve f(x) = 0, let x = c be a solution. (i.e. Find stationary points)
Step - . Observe change of sign
(i) If f(x) changes sign from negative to positive as x crosses c from left to right then x = c is a point of
local minima
(ii) If f(x) changes sign from positive to negative as x crosses c from left to right then x = c is a point of
local maxima.
(iii) If f(x) does not changes sign as x crosses c then x = c is neither a point of maxima nor minima.

Example # 47: Find the points of maxima or minima of f(x) = x 2 (x – 2)2.


Solution. f(x) = x 2 (x – 2)2
f(x) = 4x (x – 1) (x – 2)
f(x) = 0  x = 0, 1, 2
examining the sign change of f(x)

Hence x = 1 is point of maxima, x = 0, 2 are points of minima.

Note : In case of continuous functions points of maxima and minima are alternate.

Example # 48: Find the points of maxima, minima of f(x) = x 3 – 12x. Also draw the graph of this functions.

Solution. f(x) = x 3 – 12x


f(x) = 3(x 2 – 4) = 3(x – 2) (x + 2)
f(x) = 0  x=±2

For tracing the graph let us find maximum and minimum values of f(x).

x f (x)
2  16
 2  16

Example # 49 : Show that f(x) = (x 3 – 6x 2 + 12x – 8) does not have any point of local maxima or minima. Hence
draw graph
Solution. f(x) = x 3 – 6x 2 + 12x – 8
f(x) = 3(x 2 – 4x + 4)
f(x) = 3(x – 2)2
f(x) = 0  x=2
but clearly f(x) does not change sign about x = 2. f(2+) > 0 and f(2–) > 0. So f(x) has no point
of maxima or minima. In fact f(x) is a monotonically increasing function for x  R.
AOD [73]
Example # 50 : Let f(x) = x 3 + 3(a – 7)x 2 + 3(a2 – 9) x – 1. If f(x) has positive point of maxima, then find possible
values of 'a'.
Solution. f(x) = 3 [x 2 + 2(a – 7)x + (a2 – 9)]
Let ,  be roots of f(x) = 0 and let  be the smaller root. Examining sign change of f(x).

Maxima occurs at smaller root  which has to be positive. This basically implies that both

Maxima, Minima for continuous functions :

Critical points :
The points where f(x) = 0 or f(x) is not differentiable are called critical points.

Stationary points  Critical points.

Important Note :

For f(x) defined on a subset of R, points of extrema (if exists) occur at critical points

f(x) = 0 at x = 1 and f(x) does not exist at x = 0, 2. Thus these are critical points.

f(0+) = 3 and f(0–) = – 10 thus f(x) is non-differentiable at x = 0  x = 0 is a critical point.
Also derivative changes sign from negative to positive, so x = 0 is a point of local minima.

Example # 54 : Find the critical points of the function f(x) = 4x 3 – 6x 2 – 24x + 9 if (i) x  [0, 3] (ii) x  [–3, 3]
(iii) x  [– 1, 2].
Solution. f(x) = 12(x 2 – x – 2)

f(x) = 0  x = – 1 or 2
(i) if x  [0, 3] , x = 2 is critical point.
(ii) if x  [– 3, 3], then we have two critical points x = – 1, 2.
(iii) If x  [– 1, 2], then no critical point as both x = 1 and x = 2 become boundary points.

Note : Critical points are always interior points of an interval.

(i) n is even, f(n)(c) < 0 x = c is point of maxima
(ii) n is even, f(n)(c) > 0 x = c is point of minima.
(iii) n is odd, f(n)(c) < 0 f(x) is decreasing about x = c

Example # 59 : Find points of local maxima or minima of f(x) = x 5 – 5x 4 + 5x 3 – 1


Solution. f(x) = x 5 – 5x 4 + 5x 3 – 1
f(x) = 5x 2 (x – 1) (x – 3)
f(x) = 0  x = 0, 1, 3
f(x) = 10x (2x 2 – 6x + 3)
Now, f(1) < 0  Maxima at x = 1
f(3) > 0  Minima at x = 3
and, f(0) = 0  nd derivative test fails

so, f(x) = 30 (2x – 4x + 1)
f(0) = 30
 Neither maxima nor minima at x = 0.
Note : It was very convenient to check maxima/minima at first step by examining the sign
change of f(x) no sign change of f(x) at x = 0
f(x) = 5x 2 (x – 1) (x – 3)

Application of Maxima, Minima :


For a given problem, an objective function can be constructed in terms of one parameter and then
extremum value can be evaluated by equating the differential to zero. As discussed in nth derivative test
maxima/minima can be identified.

Example # 66 : Let A(1, 2) and B(– 2, – 4) be two fixed points. A variable point P is chosen on the straight line
y = x such that perimeter of PAB is minimum. Find coordinates of P.
Solution. Since distance AB is fixed so for minimizing the perimeter of PAB, we basically have to
minimize (PA + PB)
Let A be the mirror image of A in the line y = x (see figure).
F(P) = PA + PB
F(P) = PA + PB
But for PAB

PA + PB  AB and equality hold when P, A and B becomes collinear. Thus for minimum path
length point P is that special point for which PA and PB become incident and reflected rays
with respect to the mirror y = x.
Equation of line joining A and B is y = 2x intersection of this line with y = x is the point P.
Hence P  (0, 0).

Note : Above concept is very useful because such problems become very lengthy by making perimeter as a
function of position of P and then minimizing it.
