Definition of a Derivative • The slope of the tangent line to the graph of a function at a given point. • Mathematical Formula: f ’(x) =Limf (x+h) – f (x) h0 h
Power Rule • y= x y’= x-1 • Example: f(x) = 8x3 f '(x) = 24x2
Package Rule • d[a()n] = na n-1d dx dx • Example: f(x) = 2(x2-1)2 f '(x) = 4(x2-1)1 (x2-1)’ = 8x(x2-1)
Product Rule • d ( )= d+ d dx dx dx • ’ + ’ • Example: f(x) = 3x ex f '(x) = 3ex + 3xex = 3ex (x + 1)
Quotient Rule • d(/ )= ddx ddx dx 2 • ’ - ’ 2 • Example: f (x) =x2 + 1 x3f’(x) =(2x x3 ) – (x2 + 1) 3x2 x6 =2 x4 – 3x4 – 3x2 =– x4 – 3x2 x6 x6 =– x2 – 3 x6
Rules for Simplifying Logs • ln() = ln() + ln() • ln = ln() – ln() • ln = ln() Examples: • ln(2x) = ln(2) + ln(x) • ln(x/2)= ln(x) – ln(2) • lnx2 = 2lnx
Rules for Simplifying Natural Logs and Exponentials • ln(e) = • e ln = (ex and lnx are inverse functions) Examples: • ln(e2) = 2 • eln2 = 2
Derivatives of the Logarithm & Exponential Functions • f(x) = ln f’(x) = 1 (d) • Example: f(x) = ln x f '(x) = 1/x • f(x) = e f’(x) = e(d) • Example: f(x) = e3x f '(x) = e3x 3 = 3e3x
Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions • d(sin) dx = cosd/dx • d(cos) dx = -sin d/dx • d(tan) dx = sec2 d/dx • d(cot) dx = -csc2 d/dx • d(sec) dx = sec tan d/dx • d(csc) dx = -csccot d/dx
