1 .1 DERIVATIVES OF POLYNOIALS AND EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS c =c slope=0 0 FIGURE 1 Te grap of ƒ=c is te line =c, so fª()=0. In tis section we learn ow to ifferentiate constant functions, power functions, polnomials, an eponential functions. Let s start wit te simplest of all functions, te constant function f c. Te grap of tis function is te orizontal line c, wic as slope 0, so we must ave f 0. (See Figure 1.) A formal proof, from te efinition of a erivative, is also eas: f l 0 f f In Leibniz notation, we write tis rule as follows. DERIVATIVE OF A CONSTANT FUNCTION c 0 c c l 0 l = POWER FUNCTIONS We net look at te functions f n, were n is a positive integer. If n 1, te grap of f is te line, wic as slope 1. (See Figure.) So slope=1 FIGURE Te grap of ƒ= is te line =, so fª()=1. 1 (You can also verif Equation 1 from te efinition of a erivative.) We ave alrea investigate te cases n an n. In fact, in Section.8 (Eercises 17 an 18) we foun tat 1 For n 4 we fin te erivative of f 4 as follows: Tus f l 0 f f l l 0 l l 0 1 7

Tis turns out to be true. THE POWER RULE If n is a positive integer, ten n n n 1 FIRST PROOF Te formula n a n a n 1 n a a n a n 1 can be verifie simpl b multipling out te rigt-an sie (or b summing te secon factor as a geometric series).

3 SECTION.1 DERIVATIVES OF POLYNOIALS AND EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS Wat about power functions wit negative integer eponents? In Eercise 61 we ask ou to verif from te efinition of a erivative tat We can rewrite tis equation as an so te Power Rule is true wen n 1. In fact, we will sow in te net section [Eercise 58(c)] tat it ols for all negative integers. Wat if te eponent is a fraction? In Eample in Section.8 we foun tat wic can be written as s 1 s Tis sows tat te Power Rule is true even wen n 1. In fact, we will sow in Section.6 tat it is true for all real numbers n. THE POWER RULE (GENERAL VERSION) If n is an real number, ten n n n 1 N Figure sows te function in Eample (b) an its erivative. Notice tat is not ifferentiable at 0 ( is not efine tere). Observe tat is positive wen increases an is negative wen ecreases. ª _ EXAPLE Differentiate: (a) f 1 (b) s SOLUTION In eac case we rewrite te function as a power of. (a) Since f, we use te Power Rule wit n : f 1 _ (b) (s ) 1 1 FIGURE =#œ Te Power Rule enables us to fin tangent lines witout aving to resort to te efinition of a erivative. It also enables us to fin normal lines. Te normal line to a curve C at a point P is te line troug P tat is perpenicular to te tangent line at P. (In te stu of optics, one nees to consier te angle between a ligt ra an te normal line to a lens.)

SOLUTION Te erivative of f s 1 is tangent normal _1 _1 FIGURE 4 f 1 1 s So te slope of te tangent line at (1, 1) is f 1. Terefore an equation of te tangent line is 1 or 1 1 Te normal line is perpenicular to te tangent line, so its slope is te negative reciprocal of, tat is,. Tus an equation of te normal line is 1 1 or 5 We grap te curve an its tangent line an normal line in Figure 4. NEW DERIVATIVES FRO OLD Wen new functions are forme from ol functions b aition, subtraction, or multiplication b a constant, teir erivatives can be calculate in terms of erivatives of te ol functions. In particular, te following formula sas tat te erivative of a constant times a function is te constant times te erivative of te function.
