    Review of the Concept of a Derivative
    ! "#
    Given a function 𝑓 𝑥 , its (first) derivative 𝑓 𝑥 = y′ = …
    "$
    • is a related function that gives the slope of the tangent to the
    original function 𝑓 𝑥 at any point (instantaneous rate of
    change)
    • has a negative value (𝑓 ! 𝑥 < 0) wherever 𝑓 𝑥 is decreasing
    • has a positive value (𝑓 ! 𝑥 > 0) wherever 𝑓 𝑥 is increasing
    • equals zero (𝑓 ! 𝑥 = 0) at values of x where 𝑓 𝑥 has
    ‘stationary’ or ‘critical’ points like maxima (slope switches
    from + to –) or minima (slope switches from – to +)
    Review of the Concept of a Derivative
    From first principles, the derivative function (i.e., derivative) of
    𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) is

    𝑑𝑦 𝑓 𝑥+ℎ −𝑓 𝑥
    𝑓′ 𝑥 = = lim
    𝑑𝑥 !→# ℎ

    The domain of 𝑓′ 𝑥 is the set of values for which the limit exists.

    We have already seen ways in which we can use the gdc, to find
    the derivative function. Here is another way…
    Basic Transformations on 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥
    What is happening to the
    gradient function (derivative)
    of 𝑦 = 𝑥 % when the following
    transformations occur?
    1. Vertical translation
    2. Horizontal translation
    3. Vertical stretch
    Basic Transformations on 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥
    1. Vertical translation

    𝑦 = 𝑥% − 3
    Basic Transformations on 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥
    2. Horizontal translation

    %
    𝑦 = 𝑥+3
    Basic Transformations on 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥
    2. Vertical stretch

    𝑦 = 3𝑥 %
    You have likely concluded, that since the
    derivative of the function 𝑦 = 𝑥 % is 𝑦 ! = 2𝑥
    that if…
    𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥$
    then

    is true for all 𝑛 ∈ 𝑁 and by extension 𝑛 ∈ ℝ.
    This is one of the fundamental rules of
    differentiation.
