A Numerical Approach

In Indonesia, you monitor the value of the US Dollar on the foreign exchange

market very closely during a rather active five-day period. Suppose

R(t) = 7,500 + 500t - 100t2 rupiahs, The rupiah is the Indonesian currency, where t

is time in days. (t = 0 represents the value of the Dollar at noon on Monday.)

What was the value of the Dollar at noon on Tuesday?

According to the graph, when was the value of the Dollar rising most rapidly?

Instantaneous Rate of Change of f(x)

at x = a: The Derivative

The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = a is defined by taking the limit of the average rates of change of f over the intervals [a, a+h], as h approaches 0.

Slope of the Secant Line and Slope of the Tangent Line

The slope of the secant line through

(x, f(x)) and (x+h, f(x+h)) is the same as the average rate of change of f over the interval [x, x+h], or the difference quotient:

Page 13: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

13

The slope of the tangent line through (x, f(x)) is the same as the instantaneous rate of change of f at the point x, or the

derivative:

Page 14: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

14

Ex: Let f(x) = 3x2 + 4x. Use a difference quotient with h = 0.0001 to estimate the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point where x = 2.

Sol:

The Derivative as a Function:

An Algebraic Approach

So far, all we have been doing is approximating the derivative of a function. Is there a way of computing it exactly?

Page 16: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

16

Recall: The derivative of the function f at the point x is the slope of the tangent line through (x, f(x)), or the instantaneous rate of change of f at the point x.

Page 17: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

17

The slope of the tangent, or derivative, depends on the position of the point P on the curve, and therefore on the choice of x.

Page 18: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

18

Therefore, the derivative is a function of x, and that is why we write it as f'(x)

f'(1) = slope of the tangent at the point on the graph where x = 1.

f'(-4) = slope of the tangent at the point on the graph where x = -4.

Definition

The derivative f'(x) of the function f(x) is the slope of the tangent at the point (x, f(x)).

Page 20: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

20

In words, the derivative is the limit of the difference quotient.

By the "difference quotient" we

mean the average rate of change of f over the interval [x, x+h]:

Definition

A derivative f'(x) of a function f depicts how the function f is changing at point x.

f must be continuous at point x in order for there to be a derivative at that point. A function which has a derivative is said to be differentiable.

Page 22: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

22

The derivative is computed by using the concept of x. x is an arbitrary change or increment in the value of x.

Page 23: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

Ex: Let f(x) = 3x2 + 4x. The difference quotient is given by:

Hint: Average rate of change of f over [x, x+h] =

Now take the limit as h 0.

Ex: If f(x) = x3, then f'(x) = 3x2. When we say "f'(x) = 3x2," "The derivative of x3 with respect

to x equals 3x2." “The derivative with respect to x"

by the symbol "d/dx."

The quotient f(x)/g(x)If f(x) and g(x) are diff. Then d (f(x)/g(x)) = lim f(x+h)/g(x+h) -(f(x)/g(x))

= lim f(x+h).g(x) - f(x).g(x+h)

= lim f(x+h).g(x) -f(x)g(x) +f(x)g(x) - f(x).g(x+h)

= lim g(x) . (f(x+h)-f(x))/h - f(x) . (g(x+h)-g(x))/h

37

To decide whether x    a f(x) exists, and to find its value if it does.

1. Draw the graph of f(x) either by hand or using a graphing calculator.

2. Position your pencil point (or the graphing calculator "trace" cursor) on a point of the graph to the right of x = a. In the example illustrated, we are estimating

40

Repeat Steps 2 and 3, but this time starting from a point on the graph to the left of x = a, and approach x = a along the graph from the left. The y-coordinate approaches (if any) is then

Is that all there is to evaluating limits algebraically:

just substitute the number x is approaching in the given expression?

46

Continuous Functions

The function f(x) is continuous at x=a if

lim f(x) exists and equals f(a).

The function f is said to be continuous on its domain if it is continuous at each point in its domain. If f is not continuous at a particular a, we say that f is discontinuous at a or that f has a discontinuous at a.

50

We are going to solve for x. ax2+bx+c=0

Divided through by a. x2+ b/a x+ c/a=0Subtracted c/a on both sides. x2+ b/a x = -c/aComplete the square on the left. x2+ b/a x + (b/2a)2= -c/a + (b/2a)2

The left is square

(x+ b/2a)2 = -c/a + (b/2a)2

Our goal is to find the derivative Based on our knowledge of the functions f and g. Now, we know that

Leading to the speculation that

Page 73: 2 Average Rate of Change of f over [a, b]: Difference Quotient The average rate of change of the function f over the interval [a, b] is Average rate of.

The Chain Rule

If u is a diff. function of x, and f is a diff. function of u, then:

[f(u)]= f’(u)ddx

Implicit Differentiation

Not all functions are given explicitly and are only implied by an equation.

Ex: xy = 1 is an equation given implicitly, explicitly it is y = 1/ x. Now to find dy/dx for xy = 1, simply solve for y and differentiate.

xy = 1y = 1 / x = x-1

dy/dx = -1 x-2= 1/x2

But, not all equations are easily solved for y, as in the equation 3x + y3 = y2

+ 4 This is where implicit differentiation is applied. Implicit differentiation is taking the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to one of the variables.

Most commonly, used is the derivative of y with respect to x. or dy/dx.

91

Ex: 3x + y3 = y2 + 4, solve for dy/dx. 3x + y3 = y2 + 4

d/dx(3x + y3) = d/dx(y2 + 4)

3 + 3y2 dy/dx = 2y dy/dx

3 = 2y dy/dx - 3y2 dy/dx

3 = y ( 2 - 3y ) dy/dx

3 / y (2 - 3y ) = dy/dx

Ex: Find the slope of the curve x2 + y3 = 2x + y at ( 2,4) Sol: d/dx [x2 + y3] = d/dx [2x + y] 2x + 3y2 dy/dx = 2 + dy/dx 2x - 2 = (-3y2 + 1) dy/dx 2( x - 1) / (-3y2 + 1) = dy/dx = slope of curve substitute (2,4) into dy/dx to find the slope at that point. 2(2-1) / (-3 · 42 + 1) = 2 /-49 = -2/49 is the slope of the curve.

Derivatives of Higher Order

Derivatives of functions are also functions, therefore can be differentiated again.

Ex: f(x) = x5

f '(x) = 5x4

f ''(x) = 5·4x3 = 20x3

f '''(x) = 5·4·3x2 = 60x2

Maximum and Minimum Values of a FunctionSecond Derivative Test for FunctionsConcavity:

If the second derivative of a function f ( f ''(x) ) is positive (or negative) for all

x on (a,b) then the graph of f is concave

upward (or downward) on (a,b).

Second Derivative Test for Max. and Min. Points.If point A(a, f(a)) is on the graph of

function f such that f '(a) = 0 and

f ''(a) < 0 , then point A is a relative

maximum; if f '(a) = 0 and f ''(a) > 0 , then

point A is a relative minimum.

Maximum and Minimum Values of a Function

Increasing and Decreasing Functions:A function f is said to be increasing when f '(x) > 0 for every x on (a,b) and decreasing when f '(x) < 0 for every x on (a,b).Absolute Max. and Min. of a function:The absolute maximum (or minimum) of a function is a point (a, f(a)) when f(a) f(x) ( or f(a) < f(x) ) for any value of x in the domain of f.

97

Ex: Find the open intervals on which the function f(x) = x3 - 3x2 is increasing or decreasing.

Sol: f '(x) = 3x2 - 6x

let f '(x) = 3x2 - 6x = 0

x = 0 or 2 Critical numbers

Because there are no x-values for which f ' is undefined, it follows that x = 0 and x = 2 are the only critical numbers. So, the intervals that need to be tested are (- , 0), (0, 2), and (2, ).

Critical Point:

A critical point, (x,f(x)) , of a function f is if f(x) is defined and f '(x) is either zero or undefined. The x-coordinate of the critical point is called a critical value or a critical number.
