Note Differentiation Formulas

1. The document discusses differentiation formulas including the derivative of a constant function, the power rule, the constant multiple rule, the sum rule, the difference rule, the product rule, and the quotient rule. 2. It also discusses the derivative as the rate of change of a function and provides examples of finding the rate of change of volume with respect to radius and height for a cylinder. 3. Finally, it discusses derivatives of higher order, velocity and acceleration for an object moving along a line, and provides an example of finding the velocity and acceleration given the position function of an object.

Differentiation Formulas 1. 2. 3.

Derivative of a Constant Function

d (c ) = 0 dx
d n ( x ) = nx n 1 dx

The Power rule : If n is a any real number, then

The Constant Multiple Rule. If c is a constant and f is a differentiable function, then

d d (cf ( x)) = c f ( x) dx dx

4.

The Sum Rule. If f and g are both differentiable, then

d d d [ f ( x) + g ( x)] = f ( x) + g ( x) dx dx dx
5. The Difference rule. If f and g are both differentiable, then

d d d [ f ( x) g ( x)] = f ( x) g ( x) dx dx dx
6. The Product Rule. If f and g are both differentiable, then

d d d [ f ( x) g ( x)] = f ( x) [ g ( x)] + g ( x) [ f ( x)] dx dx dx


7. The Quotient Rule. If f and g are both differentiable, then

d f ( x) [ ]= dx g ( x)

g ( x)

d d [ f ( x)] f ( x) [ g ( x)] dx dx 2 [ g ( x )]

Tutorial (Ex. 3.2, Salas) The Derivative as a Rate of Change For a differentiable function f(x), the gradient or slope of a tangent line at the point x, gives the average rate of change of y with respect to x. Example: We have a right circular cylinder of changing dimensions. Volume of the cylinder is given by V = r 2 h . (i) If h remains constant while r changes, then V is a function of r. The rate of change of V with respect to h is the derivative (ii)

dV = 2rh . dr

If r remains constant while h changes, then V is a function of h. Write down the rate of change of V with respect to h.

(iii) (iv)

If r is changing but V remains constant. Write an expression for the rate of change of h in terms of r and V. If h is changing but V remains constant. Write an expression for the rate of change of r in terms of h and V.

Velocity and Acceleration An object moves along a straight line and at each time t during a certain, the object has position x(t). The average velocity of the object at time t

x ' (t ) = lim

x( t + h ) x( t ) h 0 h

what is the acceleration a(t) in terms of x(t). what is the difference between speed and velocity? Example: An object moves along the x-axis, its position at each time, t is given by the function

x(t ) = t 3 12t 2 + 36t 27


(i) Plot the motion of the object in GSP (ii) Describe the position of the object from time t = 0, to t = 9. (iii) Find the velocity of the object. Plot the graph of the velocity. Find the time interval when the velocity is positive, o and negative (iv) Find the acceleration. Plot the graph of acceleration. Find the time interval when the acceleration is positive, o and negative (You should be able to complete your KKBI GSP Project now) Tutorial (Salas: Ex 3.4, pg 157) Derivatives of Higher Order When we differentiate the function f we get the derivative of f , f ' (f prime) is the first derivative of f . If we continue to differentiate we will get second, third , forth and so on derivatives, denoted by f , f ' , f '' , f ''' , f ( 4 ) Using Leibniz notation, we write
