1 Calculus 1 Lia Vas Finding and Using Derivative Te sortcuts We ave seen tat te formula f f(x+) f(x) (x) = lim 0 is manageable for relatively simple functions like a linear or quadratic. For more complex functions, finding te derivative using tis definition is not very effective. Because of tis, many sortcuts to finding derivative ave been introduced. Derivative of a constant function. If c is a constant and f(x) = c for every value of c, ten f(x+) f(x) = c c = 0. Tus, te derivative is zero. Alternatively, te same conclusion could be reaced by noting tat a orizontal line as te slope zero. Tus, f(x) = c f (x) = 0 Derivative of te power function. In Examples 6 of previous section, we ave seen tat te derivative of te line mx + b is m. Tus te derivative of x is 1. In Example 7 we ave seen tat te derivative of x is x. Let us demonstrate a more general formula wic will compute te derivative of x n for any positive integer n. Let f(x) = x n and let us find te formula for f (a) using te alternative formula f (a) = f(x) f(a) lim x a for derivative at a. For tis function te quotient f(x) f(a) becomes xn a n. To determine te limit of tis wen x a, we want to factor te numerator. Recall tat x n a n factors x a x a x a as x n a n = (x a)(x n 1 + x n a xa n + a n 1 ) To convince yourself of tis formula, foil te rigt and side and obtain x n + x n 1 a x a n + xa n 1 ax n 1 x n a... xa n 1 a n and note tat all te terms cancel except te first x n and te last one a n. Tus you ave x n a n. Tus, f x n a n (a) = x a lim x a = lim (x a)(x n 1 + x n a xa n + a n 1 ) x a x a lim x a xn 1 + x n a xa n + a n 1 = a n 1 + a n a n 1 + a n 1 = na n 1 Since f (a) = na n 1 we ave = Te Power Rule. f(x) = x n f (x) = nx n 1 Note tat tis formula confirms our calculation of derivative of x and x. Indeed wen n = 1, it produces te derivative of x = x 1 as 1x 1 1 = 1x 0 = 1 and wen n =, te derivative of x as x 1 = x 1 = x. Togeter wit te following tree rules, we sall be able to find derivative of any polynomial function witout using te definition of derivative. 1
2 Te Sum Rule. y = f(x) + g(x) y = f (x) + g (x) Te Difference Rule. y = f(x) g(x) y = f (x) g (x) Te Constant Multiple Rule. y = cf(x) y = cf (x) Tus, 1. Te derivative of te sum is te sum of te derivatives.. Te derivative of te difference is te difference of te derivatives. 3. To find te derivative of a constant multiple of te function, carry te constant and find te derivative of te function. Tese formulas old basically because te same rules can be applied to limits: limits are additive and constant factors out of tem. Tus, if y = f(x) + g(x), te sum rule olds since y = lim 0 f(x + ) + g(x + ) f(x) g(x) f(x + ) f(x) = lim 0 Te difference rule can be sown similarly. If y = cf(x), y = lim 0 cf(x + ) cf(x) = lim 0 c(f(x + ) f(x)) g(x + ) g(x) + = c lim 0 f(x + ) f(x) = f (x)+g (x) = cf (x) Tese rules enables you to find derivative of any polynomial function by differentiating term by term. Eac term is of te form ax n wic as derivative nax n 1 by power and constant multiple rules. Example 1. Find derivative of f(x) = x x 5. Solution. f (x) = d dx x3 + d 1 dx 4 x d 5 = dx (3)x x 1 0 = 6x + 1x. General Power Rule. In practice problem 5c of te previous section, we ave seen tat te derivative of 1 = x x 1 is 1 = 1x. Note tat tis follows te pattern of te power rule: for n = 1, x te formula nx 1 produces exactly 1x. It can be sown tat te power rule olds for any real number n. Te General Power Rule. f(x) = x n f (x) = nx n 1 olds for every real n Tis rule enables us to find derivatives of functions wit negative or fractional powers. You need to make sure tat your function is written in te form x n before you apply te power rule. Te following algebra rules may be useful wen doing tat. 1 x n = x n n x = x 1/n
3 Example. Find derivatives of te following functions. (a) f(x) = x x 4 (b) f(x) = x 3 3 x Solution. (a) Before finding derivative, write bot terms of f(x) in ax n form: f(x) = 1 4 x4 +4x 4. Ten find derivative using te power rule for bot terms. f (x) = d 1 dx 4 x4 + d dx 4x 4 = 1 4 (4)x ( 4)x 4 1 = x 3 16x 5. If necessary, you can write your answer as f (x) = x x 5 (b) Write bot terms of f(x) in ax n form first: f(x) = (x 3 ) 1/ 3x 1/ = x 3/ 3x 1/. Ten find derivative using te power rule for bot terms. f (x) = d dx x3/ d dx 3x 1/ = 3 x3/ 1 3( 1 )x 1/ 1 = 3 x1/ + 3 x 3/. If necessary, you can write your answer as f (x) = 3 x + 3. x 3 Te sortcuts. Having te differentiation formulas enables you to find te instantaneous rate of cange, te slope of te tangent line at a point, velocity or any oter rate of cange in an applied problem witout using te definition of te derivative. We revisit several problems of te previous section and present a sorter solution to tem. Example 3 Examples from previous section revisited. 4 Example 1 (b) Let f(x) = x +4. Find te instantaneous rate of cange of f(x) for x = 1. Ten find te equation of te tangent line to f(x) at x = 1. 4 Example (b) Assume tat te distance traveled by a moving object x second after te object started moving can be computed by f(x) = x + 4 feet. Determine te velocity of te object one second after it started moving. 4 Example 4. Find te derivative of f(x) = 1 at x =. x Solutions. For 4 1 (b), find te derivative f (x) = d dx x + d 4 = dx x = x. Ten plug x = 1 and obtain f (1) = (1) =. Tis computes te slope of te tangent line. Te equation of te tangent line can be obtained using te point-slope equation wit m = and (1, f(1)) = (1, 5). So, te tangent line is y 5 = (x 1) y = x + 3. For 4 (b) Find te velocity just as in 1(b) and obtain te velocity of feet per second. For 4 Example 4, use te power rule for f(x) = x 1 to find te derivative f (x) = 1x 1 1 = x = 1 x. Plug x = to obtain tat f () = 1 = 1 4. Example 4. Sow tat for te linear function f(x) = mx + b te average rate of cange from x = a to x = a + and te instantaneous rate of cange at x = a are equal. Solutions. Te average rate of cange is f(a+) f(a) m. Te instantaneous rate of cange at a is te limit of f(a+) f(a) = m(a+)+b (ma+b) = ma+m+b ma b = m = = m wic is also equal to m. Alternatively, you can find te instantaneous by noting tat te derivative f (x) = mx = m. More on velocity. Using te previous example, you can relate te formula computing te velocity of an object wit distance s(t) at time t as v = ds wit te pre-calculus formula you used dt for velocity v = s now better expressed as v = s. Te first formula computes te instantaneous t t velocity wile te second formula computes te average velocity. As we ave seen in te previous 3
4 example, if te distance function is a linear function (tat is, if velocity is constant), te two formulas amount to te same ting. One sould keep in mind tat te velocity cannot be computed by te pre-calculus formula v = s wen s is a nonlinear function. t More on oter applications of derivative. Similar argument can be made for relation between several oter pysical quantities. For example, let us recall several oter equivalent examples: (1) te force is te quotient of cange in work and cange in displacement caused by te force, () te current produced by a movement of electric carge is te quotient of te carge and time, (3) te density of a piece of wire is te quotient of mass and te lengt of te wire. Te average velocity Te average force Te average current Te average density v = s ds, te velocity v = t dt F = W x, te force F = dw dx I = Q dq, te current I = t dt ρ = m dm, te density ρ = x dx Example 5. Te mass of a metal rod in kilograms depends on te lengt x measured in meters starting at te rod s end and can be computed by m(x) = 6 3 x. Determine te density of te rod 1 meter from te rod s end. Solution. Te density ρ at x = 1 can be computed as te value of derivative dm dx x=1 (recall tat tis is te same as m (1)). Note tat m(x) = 6x 1/3 so tat te derivative is m (x) = x1/3 1 = x /3 = 3. Tus x m (1) = 3 1 = kilograms per meter. Some furter examples are given in practice problems below. Practice problems. 1. Find te derivative of te given functions.

If a stone is dropped from a building 150 feet tall, its eigt above te ground after t seconds is given by s(t) = t, in feet.

Tis formula is known as te law of te laminar flow and reflects te fact tat te velocity is largest along te central axis (wen r = 0) and te smallest along te wall (wen r = R).
