1 Section 2.7 Derivatives of powers of functions (3/19/08) Overview: In this section we iscuss the Chain Rule formula for the erivatives of composite functions that are forme by taking powers of other functions. This is a special case of the general Chain Rule which we will cover in Section 4.1. Topics: The Chain Rule for powers of functions On the orer of operations The Chain Rule for powers of functions How is the rate of change of the area A = w 2 of the square in Figure 1 etermine by its with w = w(t) an the rate of change of its with? We can view the area as the prouct A = w w an use the Prouct Rule from the last section to obtain A t = t (w2 ) = (w w) = ww t t + ww t = 2ww t. (1) This shows that the rate of change of the area equals twice the with, multiplie by the rate of change of the with. If we replace w = w(t) by f = f(x) in (1), we obtain x (f2 ) = 2f f. This is the x special case for n = 2 of the following general result: w = w(t) FIGURE 1 w = w(t) Theorem 1 (The Chain Rule for powers of functions) Suppose that n is a constant an that y = f(x) is a function of x. Then x (fn ) = nf n 1 f (2a) x or with primes enoting x-erivatives, (f n ) = nf n 1 f. (2b) This formula hols at any x such that f = f (x) exists an f = f(x) is in an open interval where [f(x)] n 1 is efine. Remember (2a) an (2b) as the following statement: the erivative of the nth power of a function equals n, multiplie by the (n 1)st power of the function, multiplie by the erivative of the function. 149
2 p. 150 (3/19/08) Section 2.7, Derivatives of powers of functions Proof: Suppose that x satisfies the conitions of the theorem. For nonzero x, we let f enote the change f(x + x) f(x) in the value of f from x to x + x, so that f(x + x) = f(x) + f. Then f 0 as x 0 since f is continuous at x. We make the simplifying assumption that f 0 for small, nonzero x. Then the erivative of y = f n at x is the limit as x 0 of [f(x + x)] n [f(x)] n x = (f + f)n f n x = [ (f + f) n f n f ][ ] f. (3) x We have written f here for f(x) an we obtaine the last expression by multiplying an iviing by f. We let x ten to zero. The ifference quotient in the secon set of brackets on the right of (3) tens to the erivative of f with respect to x an the ifference quotient in the first set of brackets tens to the erivative of f n with respect to f. The ifference quotient on the left of (3) therefore tens to the erivative of f n with respect to x, an we obtain f (fn ) = f (fn ) f x. By Theorem 1 of Section 2.4, f (fn ) = nf n 1, so the last equation gives x (fn ) = nf n 1 f x which is formula (2a) at x. QED Example 1 Fin the x-erivative of y = (x 3 + 1) 5. By (2a) with f(x) = x an n, x [(x3 + 1) 5 ] (x 3 + 1) 4 x (x3 + 1) (x 3 + 1) 4 (3x 2 ) = 15x 2 (x 3 + 1) 4. Example 2 What is z (0) if z(x) = [y(x)] 4, y(0) = 2 an y (0) = 10? Formula (2b) with y in place of f an n = 4 yiels z = x (y4 ) = 4y 3 y. We set y = y(0) = 2 an y = y (0) = 10 to obtain z (0) = 4[y(0)] 3 y (0) = 4(2) 3 ( 10) = 320.
3 Section 2.7, Derivatives of powers of functions p. 151 (3/19/08) Example 3 (a) Express the rate of change V/t of the volume V = 4 3 πr3 (4) of a sphere in terms of the raius r an the rate of change r/t of the raius. (b) At a particular moment the raius of a sphere is 3 inches an is increasing at the rate of 2 inches per minute. How fast is the volume of the sphere increasing at that moment? (a) By formula (2a) with n = 3, Example 4 V t = t (4 3 πr3 ) = 4 3 π(3r2 ) r t = 4πr2 r t. (5) (b) At the moment uner consieration, r = 3 an r/t, so that V/t = 4π(3 2 )(2) = 72π cubic inches per minute. In the next example, we use formula (5) with a graph. Figure 2 shows the graph of the volume V = V (t) of a spherical balloon as a function of the time t. Fin (a) the approximate raius of the balloon at t = 6 an (b) the approximate rate of change of the raius with respect to time at t = V (cubic inches) V = V (t) 250 V (cubic inches) V = V (t) t t (secons) (secons) FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 (a) From the graph in Figure 2 we see that V (6) 100 cubic inches, so that by formula (4) for the volume of a sphere, πr3. This gives r 3 75/π, so that r 3 75/π. = 2.88 inches. (b) To estimate the erivative of the volume, we raw an approximate tangent line to its graph at t = 6 as in Figure 3 an fin its approximate slope. The points on the line have approximate coorinates (6, 100) an (10, 220). Using these values, we fin that the rise V from the first to the secon point on the tangent line is approximately = 120. The run t is 4. Therefore, V t V t t=6 120 cubic inches 4 secons = 30 cubic inches per secon. To fin r/t, we substitute the values V/t 30 an r 2.88 in (5). This yiels 30 4π(2.88) 2 r r an then t t 30. = inches per secon. 4π(2.88) 2
4 p. 152 (3/19/08) Section 2.7, Derivatives of powers of functions On the orer of operations Differentiating a complicate expression may require a combination of the Prouct Rule, the Quotient Rule, the Chain Rule for powers, an other operations. You can etermine the orer in which to apply these operations by noting the orer of the steps use in calculating values of the function. The ifferentiation is carrie out in the reverse orer, an this often requires the Prouct, Quotient, an Chain Rules to ifferentiate proucts, quotients, an powers of functions. ( ) 5 x + 1 Example 5 In what orer are the calculations mae in fining a value of f(x) =? The expressions y = x + 1 an y = are calculate first. Then their quotient is foun. An, finally the fifth power is taken. Example 6 Fin the x-erivative of the function y = f(x) from Example 5. x Because the last step in fining a value of y = f(x) is the taking of the fifth power, we fin its erivative by first using the Chain Rule for ifferentiating the fifth power of a function: x [ (x ) ] ( ) 4 x + 1 x ( ) x + 1. Since the next-to-last step in calculating f(x) involves ivision, the Quotient Rule is applie next: [ (x ) ] ( ) 4 x + 1 x ) 4 ( x + 1 ( ) x + 1 () (x + 1) (x + 1) x x () 2 (). (6) Finally, because the first steps in evaluating f(x) are to calculate y = x+1 an y = x 3, ifferentiating these functions gives the final result: x [ (x ) ] ( x + 1 ( x + 1 ) 4 [ ] () (x + 1) () 2 ) 4 [ ] 4 () 2 = 20(x + 1)4 () 6 It is a goo iea to write own all of the steps, as in equations (6) an (7), when you carry out involve ifferentiations such as in this example so you can concentrate on the etails an review your work to see that it is correct.

5 Section 2.7, Derivatives of powers of functions p. 153 (3/19/08) Example 7 (a) Describe the orer of operations that are performe to calculate a value of g(x) = x 2 (x 3 + 2x) 10? (b) Fin the erivative of the function from part (a). Do not simplify the answer. (a) The polynomial y = x 3 + 2x is evaluate an its tenth power is taken; y = x 2 is calculate; an then the prouct is performe. (b) Because the last step in fining a value of y = g(x) is taking a prouct, the Prouct Rule is use first in fining its erivative: g (x) = x [x2 (x 3 + 2x) 10 ] = x 2 x [(x3 + 2x) 10 ] + (x 3 + 2x) 10 x (x2 ). We use the Chain Rule with the term on the left to obtain g (x) = x 2 [10(x 3 + 2x) 9 ] x (x3 + 2x) + (x 3 + 2x) 10 (2x) = 10x 2 (x 3 + 2x) 9 (3x 2 + 2) + 2x(x 3 + 2x) 10. Example 8 We o not simplify the answer because we have no further use for it. (a) What is the orer of operations in evaluating y = [x 2 +u(x)] 3/2? (b) Express the erivative of the function of part (a) in terms of x,u(x), an u (x). (a) The functions y = x 2 an y = u(x) are evaluate, the results are ae, an finally the 2 3 power is taken. (b) Since the last step in fining a value of y = [x 2 + u(x)] 3/2 is taking the power, we start with formula (2) for ifferentiating powers. We then ifferentiate y = x 2 an y = u(x): y (x) = x {[x2 + u(x)] 3/2 } = 3 2 [x2 + u(x)] 1/2 x [x2 + u(x)] = 3 2 [x2 + u(x)] 1/2 [2x + u (x)].
