 What’s New

The Pacific Ocean, Celebes Sea, Philippine Sea and South China Sea border the
Philippines which consists of 7,107 islands. Each of them is home to potential surfing
spots. With a coastline of approximately 36 000 km, Philippines possesses a relaxed
island vibe that is definitely contagious. Its white-sand beaches and blue-tinged
waters make it a great site for surfers wanting to either relax or catch some of the
most impressive waves in the world.

Nowadays, majority of the Filipinos find that the best relaxation comes from engaging
in exciting outdoor activities. The strong offshore winds between December and April
stir up the ocean and turn the islands into a surfing paradise.

To help visualize the derivative, imagine the function as a wave that you are surfing
and the tilt of your surfboard is the slope.

 What is It

The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the line tangent to the function at
any point on the graph. This can be used to find the equation of that tangent line.

𝒅𝒚
Note that = 𝒇′ = 𝒚′
𝒅𝒙

We first recall the definition of the derivative of a function.

The derivative of the function f whose value at a number x in the domain of f is given
by

𝑓(𝑥 + ℎ) − 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑓 ′ 𝑥 = 𝑙𝑖𝑚
ℎ→0 ℎ

if the limit exists.

For example, let us compute the derivative of the first function: 𝑓(𝑥) = (3𝑥 2 + 4). Let
us first solve the numerator of the quotient

𝑓(𝑥 + ℎ) − 𝑓(𝑥) = (3(𝑥 + ℎ)2 + 4) − (3𝑥 2 + 4) Substituted the given in the

formula
= (3𝑥 2 + 6𝑥ℎ + 3ℎ2 + 4) − (3𝑥 2 + 4) Simplified and combined like
terms
= 6𝑥ℎ + 3ℎ2
= ℎ(6𝑥 + 3ℎ).

6
Therefore,
𝑓(𝑥+ℎ)−𝑓(𝑥)
𝑓 ′ 𝑥 = 𝑙𝑖𝑚 Given
ℎ→0 ℎ
3(𝑥+ℎ)2 +4−(3𝑥 2 +4)
= 𝑙𝑖𝑚 Substitution
ℎ→0 ℎ
ℎ(6𝑥+3ℎ)
= 𝑙𝑖𝑚 Simplify
ℎ→0 ℎ
= 𝑙𝑖𝑚 (6𝑥 + 3ℎ) Substitute value of h to x
ℎ→0
= 6𝑥. Final answer

We see that computing the derivative using the definition of even a simple polynomial
is an overlong process. Let’s examine the different Algebraic Differentiation Rules.

How do we find derivatives?

Differential calculus is the process of finding the exact derivative directly from a
formula of the function without using graphical methods. In practice, we use some
rules that tell us how to find the derivative of almost any function. In this lesson, we
will introduce these rules.

Rules for Finding the Derivitative

RULE 1: The Derivative of a Constant

A constant function 𝑓(𝑥) is defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐 or 𝑦 = 𝑐 and has a derivative 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 0

or 𝑦′ = 𝑐, respectively.

𝒅𝒚 𝒅
= (𝒄) = 𝟎
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

In words, the derivative of a constant is zero.

EXAMPLE 1. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 5

Solution: 𝑦 = 5 is a constant function, hence the derivative is equal to zero. That

𝑑𝑦 𝑑
is, = (5) =0
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑦=5

7
EXAMPLE 2. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 8 + 𝜋.

Solution: 𝑦 = 8 + 𝜋 is a constant function, hence the derivative is equal to zero.

𝑑𝑦 𝑑
That is, = (8 + 𝜋) = 0 + 0 = 0.
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

EXAMPLE 3. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 6.

𝑑𝑦 𝑑
Solution: = 𝑑𝑥 (6) = 0
𝑑𝑥

RULE 2: The Derivative of a Power

Let 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 𝑛 , where 𝑛 is a positive integer, then for every real value of 𝑥

𝒅𝒚 𝒅
= (𝒙𝒏 ) = 𝒏𝒙𝒏−𝟏 where 𝒏 > 𝟎
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

In words, the derivative of the nth power of a variable is the product of n and the
(𝑛 − 1)th power of the variable or to differentiate x to a positive integer power, take
the power and multiply it by x raised to the next lower integer power.

EXAMPLE 1. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 𝑥 4 .

Solution: Using the Power Rule, we get
𝑑𝑦 𝑑 𝑛 𝑑𝑦 𝑑
𝑦 = 𝑥4 ⟹ = (𝑥 ) = 𝑛𝑥 𝑛−1 = = = (4)𝑥 4−1 = 4𝑥 3
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑦 = 𝑥4

EXAMPLE 2. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 𝑥 12 .

𝑑𝑦 𝑑 𝑑𝑦 𝑑
Solution: 𝑦 = 𝑥 12 ⟹ = (𝑥 𝑛 ) = 𝑛𝑥 𝑛−1 = = = (12)𝑥 12−1 = 12𝑥 11
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

EXAMPLE 3. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 𝑥.

𝑑𝑦 𝑑 𝑑𝑦 𝑑
Solution: 𝑦=𝑥 ⟹ = (𝑥 𝑛 ) = 𝑛𝑥 𝑛−1 = = = (1)𝑥 1−1 = 𝑥 0 = 1
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

RULE 3: The Derivative of a Constant Times a Function

The derivative of a constant multiplies a function is the constant times the

derivative as illustrated by the formula below.

𝒅𝒚 𝒅 𝒅
= [𝒄𝒇(𝒙)] = 𝒄 𝒇 (𝒙 )
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

EXAMPLE 1. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 5𝑥.

Solution: The constant is not affected by differentiation.

𝑑 𝑑𝑦 𝑑 𝑑
𝑦 = 5𝑥 ⟹ 𝑐 𝑓( 𝑥 ) = = (5𝑥) = (5)(𝑥 1−1 ) = (5)𝑥 0 = 5(1) = 5
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑦 = 5𝑥

EXAMPLE 2. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 3𝑥 6 .

𝑑 𝑑𝑦 𝑑 𝑑
Solution: 𝑦 = 3𝑥 6 ⟹ 𝑐 𝑑𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) = = (3𝑥 6 ) = 3 (𝑥 6 ) = (3)(6)𝑥 6−1 = 18𝑥 5
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

EXAMPLE 3. The position of an object at any time x is given by 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 4 − 40𝑥 3 +

126𝑥 2 − 9. Determine the velocity of the object at any time x.

Solution:

𝑑𝑦 𝑑
𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 4 − 40𝑥 3 + 126𝑥 2 − 9 ⟹ = (3𝑥 4 − 40𝑥 3 + 126𝑥 2 − 9)
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦
= 4(3)𝑥 4−1 − 3(40)𝑥 3−1 + 2(126)𝑥 2−1 − 0
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦
= 12𝑥 3 − 120𝑥 2 + 252𝑥
𝑑𝑥

RULE 4: The Derivative of Sum and Differences

Let 𝑦 = 𝑢 + 𝑣 and 𝑦 = 𝑢 − 𝑣 where 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑣 = 𝑔(𝑥) are differentiable functions

of x, then

𝒅𝒚 𝒅 𝒅𝒖 𝒅𝒗
= (𝒖 + 𝒗) = + or 𝒅(𝒖 + 𝒗) = 𝒅𝒖 + 𝒅𝒗
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

𝒅𝒚 𝒅 𝒅𝒖 𝒅𝒗
= (𝒖 − 𝒗) = − or 𝒅(𝒖 − 𝒗) = 𝒅𝒖 − 𝒅𝒗
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

In words, the derivative of a sum of a finite number of differentiable functions is a

sum of the derivatives, and the derivative of the difference equals the difference of
the derivatives.

EXAMPLE 1. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 1.

Solution: 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 1,

Solution: = 4(6𝑥 3 ) − 3(7𝑥 2 ) + 2(5𝑥)
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦
= 24𝑥 3 − 21𝑥 2 + 10𝑥
𝑑𝑥

10
RULE 5: The Derivative of a Product

Let 𝑦 = 𝑢 ∙ 𝑣, where 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑣 = 𝑔(𝑥) are differentiable functions of x, then

𝒅𝒚 𝒅 𝒅𝒗 𝒅𝒖
= (𝒖 ∙ 𝒗) = 𝒖 ( ) + 𝒗 ( ) or 𝒅(𝒖 ∙ 𝒗) = 𝒖𝒅𝒗 + 𝒗𝒅𝒖
𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙 𝒅𝒙

In words, the derivative of a product of two functions is the first function multiply
the derivative of the second plus the second function multiplied by the derivative of
the first.

EXAMPLE 1. Find the derivative of 𝑦 = (𝑥 3 + 2𝑥)(2𝑥 − 1).

 What is It

DIFFERENTIATING AN EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

The next set of functions that we like to focus on are exponential and logarithmic
functions. The most commonly used exponential form in a calculus course is the
natural exponential function 𝒆𝒙 .

On the other hand, the process of differentiating functions by taking logarithms first
and then differentiating is called logarithmic differentiation. We utilize logarithmic
differentiation in circumstances where it is easier to differentiate the logarithm of a
function than to differentiate the function itself. This approach allows calculating
derivatives of power, rational and some irrational functions in an efficient manner.

We will start off by looking at the exponential function.

For the natural exponential function, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 we have

𝑒ℎ − 1
𝑓 ′ (0) = lim =1
ℎ→0 ℎ

Provided we are using the natural exponential function, we get the following:

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥 ⟹ 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥

Now, we are missing some skills that will permit us to simply get the derivative for a
general function. Eventually, we will be able to show that for a general exponential
function, we will have:
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎 𝑥 ⟹ 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑎 𝑥 ln (𝑎)

***The derivative of the exponential function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 is its own function.

This can be linked with the chain rule. If 𝑢 is a function of 𝑥, then

𝑑 𝑢 𝑑𝑢
𝑒 = 𝑒𝑢 .

Differentiating a Logarithmic Function

Expressions written in exponential form can be converted to logarithmic function

and vice versa.
Exponential Form to Logarithmic Form
53 = 125 ⟹ log 5 125 = 3
490.5 = 7 ⟹ log 49 7 = 0.5
Logarithmic Form to Exponential Form
log 2 8 = 3 ⟹ 23 = 8
log 3 81 = 4 ⟹ 34 = 81

Hence y = log 𝑏 𝑥 can be written as 𝑏 𝑦 = 𝑥 and y = log 𝑒 𝑥 can be written as 𝑒 𝑦 = 𝑥.

What’s New

In mathematics, the trigonometric functions are also called circular functions

or angle functions. These are real functions which are widely used in all sciences
that are related to geometry such as navigation, solid mechanics, celestial
mechanics, geodesy, and many others.

Moreover, the differentiation of trigonometric functions is the mathematical process

of finding the derivative of a trigonometric function, or its rate of change with respect
to a variable. For example, the derivative of the sine function is written sin′(a) = cos(a),
meaning that the rate of change of sin(x) at a particular angle x = a is given by the
cosine of that angle.

All derivatives of circular trigonometric functions can be found from those of sin(x)
and cos(x) by means of the quotient rule applied to functions such as tan(x) =
sin(x)/cos(x). Knowing these derivatives, the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric
functions are found using implicit differentiation.
