1 Overview We alread saw an algebraic wa of thinking about a derivative. Geometric: zooming into a line Analtic: continuit and rational functions Computational: approimations with computers

2 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function Zooming In For a smooth function, if we zoom in at a point, we see a line: In this eample, the slope of our zoomed-in line looks to be about: 2

3 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function Recall The secant line to the curve = f () through points R and Q is a line that passes through R and Q. We call the slope of the secant line the average rate of change of f () from R to Q. R Q P secant line tangent line Definition The straight line that we see when we zoom into the graph of a smooth function at some point P is called the tangent line at P. The slope of the tangent line is the instantaneous rate of change (derivative)

4 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function On the graph below, draw the secant line to the curve through points P and Q. On the graph below, draw the tangent line to the curve at point P. P Q P

5 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function Derivatives of Familiar Functions The derivative of the function f () = A is: (a) 0 (b) (c) A (d) (e) A 2 The derivative of the function f () = A is: (a) 0 (b) (c) A (d) (e) A 3 The derivative of the function f () = A + is: (a) 0 (b) (c) A (d) (e) A

6 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function km from home 6 3 = s(t) 0 8:00 8:07 8:30 It takes me half an hour to bike 6 km. So, 2 kph represents the: A. secant line to = s(t) from t = 8 : 00 to t = 8 : 30 t time B. slope of the secant line to = s(t) from t = 8 : 00 to t = 8 : 30 C. tangent line to = s(t) at t = 8 : 30t = 8 : 25 D. slope of the tangent line to = s(t) at t = 8 : 30

7 3. The geometric view: zooming into the graph of a function km from home 6 3 = s(t) 0 8:00 8:07 8:30 t time When I pedal up Crescent Rd at 8:25, the speedometer on m bike tells me I m going 5kph. This corresponds to the: A. secant line to = s(t) from t = 8 : 00 to t = 8 : 25 B. slope of the secant line to = s(t) from t = 8 : 00 to t = 8 : 25 C. tangent line to = s(t) at t = 8 : 25 D. slope of the tangent line to = s(t) att = 8 : 25

(a, b) Then, it falls off or gets stuck. (b, c) Then it travels on along a mictorubule with the opposite orientation, so it moves in the negative direction. t > c Finall, it hops onto another microtubule (possibl the same as the first) and travels in the positive direction.

19 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Overview Eplain the definition of a continuous function. Identif functions with various tpes of discontinuities. Evaluate simple limits of rational functions. Calculate the derivative of a simple function using the definition of the derivative

20 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuitive Continuit Intuitivel, we think of a point on a function as continuous if it s connected to the points around it. Jump Discontinuit

21 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuitive Continuit Intuitivel, we think of a point on a function as continuous if it s connected to the points around it. Removable Discontinuit

22 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuitive Continuit Intuitivel, we think of a point on a function as continuous if it s connected to the points around it. Blow-Up (Infinite) Discontinuit If a graph has a discontinuit at a point, it has no tangent line at that point (and so no derivative at that point).

23 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuition Failing { sin ( ) f () = if 0 0 if = 0

24 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuition Failing { sin ( ) f () = if 0 0 if = 0

25 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Intuition Failing f () = { 3 if is rational 3 if is irrational

26 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative A More Rigorous Definition Definition A function f () is continuous at a point a in its domain if lim f () = f (a) a f (a) must eist As approaches a, there are no surprises. Jump: Limit doesn t eist (left and right don t match)

27 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Continuit Proofs Decide whether f () = Justif our result. is continuous or discontinuous at = 2. It is discontinuous, because 2 is not in the domain of f (). That is, f (2) does not eist. Eample : 2 4 if 2 For which value(s) of a is f () = 2 a if = 2 Prove our result. continuous at = 2?

28 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Rational Functions with Holes Eample 2: Let f () = ( + )( )( 2) ( )( 2) Note the domain of f () does not include = or = 2. Evaluate the following: (a) lim 0 f () (b) lim f () (c) lim 2 f () (d) lim 3 f () 2

29 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Using limits to evaluate derivatives Evaluate the derivative of f () = using the definition of the derivative, f () = lim h 0 f ( + h) f () h f f ( + h) f () + h () = lim = lim h 0 h h 0 h ( ) + h + h + = lim h 0 h + h + = lim h 0 ( + h) h( + h + ) = lim h 0 = lim h 0 ( + h + ) = = h h( + h + )

30 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Using limits to evaluate derivatives Eample 3: Find the derivatives of the following functions using the definition of a derivative: (a) f () = (b) g() = f () = lim h 0 f ( + h) f () h

31 3.2 The analtic view: calculating the derivative Concept Check True or False: If f () is not defined at =, then f () does not eist. lim True or False: If lim f () eists, then it s equal to f (). True or False: If f () is continuous at =, then f () eists. True or False: If f () eists, then f () is continuous at =.

33 3.3 The computational view: software to the rescue! Overview. Use software to numericall compute an approimation to the derivative. 2 Eplain that the approimation replaces a (true) tangent line with an (approimating) secant line. 3 Eplain using words how the derivative shape is connected with the shape of the original function.

34 3.3 The computational view: software to the rescue! Idea: Approimate Tangent Line with Secant Line Derivative (slope of tangent line) f ( + h) f () lim h 0 h Approimate derivative Slope of secant line f ( + h) f () h

36 3.3 The computational view: software to the rescue! Approimate Derivative f () = f f ( + h0.) f () () h0. Using ver small values of h can get us an approimation of the derivative at a particular point. We can also use a spreadsheet to guess the derivative at a number of different points, using tin secant lines
