    This document discusses the concept of the derivative. It defines the derivative as the limit of the average rate of change of a function as the change in x approaches 0. This is also called the difference quotient. The derivative can be used to find the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a particular point. The document provides notation for derivatives and discusses when derivatives may fail to exist. It also gives examples of finding the derivatives of several simple functions.

    Tangent Line Problem

     How to find slope of a curve at a point?

    y  f (x) Secant Line

    Tangent Line

    x x + Δx
    y  f (x)

    x  0
    Setting up a limit!

    Slope of the
    Tangent Line

    x x + Δx
    1.) Find slope of the secant line

    y  f (x) Secant Line

    x x + Δx
    y  f (x)

    Conclusion:

    mtan  lim msec


    x0

    x x + Δx

    f ( x  x)  f ( x)
    mtan  lim
    x 0 x
    Called the difference quotient
    Definition of the Derivative

    For a function f(x) the average rate of


    change along the function is given by:

    lim f ( x  x)  f ( x) f ( x  h)  f ( x )
    m  f ' ( x)  or lim
    x  0 x h 0 h

    Which is called the derivative of f


    Notation of the Derivative

    The derivative of a function f at x is given by:

    f ( x  x)  f ( x)
    mtan  f ' ( x)  lim
    x 0 x
    **Provided the limit exists

    Notation: f (x ) dy d [ f ( x)] Dx [ y ]


    dx dx
    Notation

    There are lots of ways to denote the derivative of a function y = f(x).

    f’(x) the derivative of f


    df the derivative of f with
    y’ y prime dx respect to x.
    d
    dy the derivative of y f (x) the derivative of f at x
    dx
    dx with respect to x.
    Terminology

     Differentiation (Differentiate) – the process of


    finding the derivative

     Differentiable – when a functions derivative


    exists at x
    dx does not mean d times x !

    dy does not mean d times y !

    dy
    does not mean df  dx !
    dx
    d
    f  x  does not mean
    d
    times f  x !
    dx dx
    (except when it is convenient to treat it that way.)
    Comparison: f and f’

    Graph of f
    Graph of f’
     Increasing
    • Positive (above x axis)
     Decreasing
    • Negative (below x axis)
     Maximum or minimum value
    (when slope = 0) • Zero
    When Derivatives Fail

    1. Cusp or sharp point:

    When Derivatives Fail

    2. Vertical asymptotes:

    3. When one sided limits fail


    When Derivatives Fail

    4. Removable discontinuity

    Making use of the derivate definition calculate:

    2.) Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve y  x2 at x=2 and x=6

    First, find the Slope at any point
    Differentiate the following functions using the definition

    3.) Differentiate f ( x)  2 x  3 (if possible)


    4.) Differentiate f ( x)  x 2  x  1 (if possible)
    5.) Differentiate f ( x)  x if possible
