Notation
 It is a process of finding the derivative of a function i.e. that has the general expression
for the gradient of a function at any given point.
 The derivative of a function is also called gradient function or derived function or
differential co-efficient
dy d [ f ( x) ]
 Is written as ; ẏ ;∨ y ' ; f ' ( x )∨
dx dx
GRADIENT, TANGENT AND NORMAL
 The gradient of a curve at any point is the gradient of a tangent to the curve at that given
point.
 Its value (gradient) is given by the derivative of the function at that point which is given.
 The normal to the curve at a point is perpendicular to the tangent at a point of contact.
 To find the equation of a normal at the point of contact, we find the gradient of the
tangent at point of contact then we should remember that;
m1 m2=−1
 Where m1is the gradient of tangent and m2would be the gradient of normal.
 Then use y=mx+c to find the equation .(whether normal or tangent)

 A tangent of a curve is the limit of the chord at point Pand so the gradient is also limit of
gradient of chords
 The formula for finding gradient from first principles is stated below

TOPIC : DIFFERENTIATION

APPLICATION OF DIFFERENTIATION
1. A piece of wire 40 cmlong is bent to form the following shape

xcm xcm

ycm ycm

xcm

a. Express y in terms of x ,and hence show that the area enclosed, Acm2is approximately
2
20 x−1 , 07 x
b. Hence determine the value of x for which A is maximum

2. A piece of wire, 60 cm is bent to the shape below

xcm

a. Express x in terms of r .Hence show that Area enclosed is

2
2 πr
A=60 r−2 r −
2
b. Determine to 3 s . f the value of r for which A is stationery
Determine whether the value of r makes maximum or minimum value

INTERGRATION

 It is the reverse process of differentiating i.e. finding the original function given it
derivative

TYPES OF INTERGRATION

a. Definite integration
b. Indefinite integration

INDEFINITE INTERGRATION

 This is whereby no limits of integration are given

 If y is a derivative of a function in x i.e. f ( x ) w . r .t x ,then the integral of the derivative
y w . r .t x=f ( x ) +c
 ∫ ydx =f ( x ) +c ;where C is the integration constant and
y is the integrant i.e. the function to be integrated and;
f ( x ) is the integral or primitive function

E.g.

Find ∫ x dx

1
∫ x 3 dx= 4 x 4 +c
DEFINITE INTEGRATION

 Limits of integration are provided

 The definite integral of y w . r .t xfrom a value a ¿ b
b

Is given as ∫ ydx =[ f ( x ) ] a=F ( b )−F (a)

b

NB: C is not written here in definite integral

It is eliminated during the evaluation process
