Properties of Derivatives

6 CHAPTER Properties of Derivatives To investigate derivatives using first principles, we will look at the slope of f ( ) = at the point P (,9 ). Let Q1, Q, Q, Q4, be a sequence of points on the curve getting closer and closer to P. Let Q1 be ( 4,16 ), Q be (.5,1.5 ), Q be (.,10.4 ), Q4 be (.1,9.61 )

7 The idea is that the tangent to the curve at point P is the limiting line of the sequence of lines PQ1, PQ, PQ, PQ4 We say that the slope of the tangent at P is the limit of the slopes of lines PQ1, PQ, PQ slope PQ1 slope PQ slope PQ slope PQ4 16! 9 = = 7 4! 1.5! 9 = = 6.5.5! 10.4! 9 = = 6..! 9.61! 9 = = 6.1.1! It certainly appears that the slope of the tangent at P is close to 6. To show that the slope of f () = at (,9 ) is 6 ( ) Let P be (,9 ) and Q be a point h,( h) + + on the curve y =

8 The slope of PQ is ( ) ( h) + h! 9 6h + h = = 6 + h. * +! h In the limiting case i.e. where Q actually coincides with P then the line PQ becomes the tangent at P and h becomes zero. From the above * it can be deduced that when h = 0, the slope of the tangent i.e. the slope of the limiting case of PQ is 6+0 which is 6. To find the slope of f () = at ( a,a ) From the previous discussion we can say that the slope of the tangent at P is the limit of the slope of PQ as Q coincides with P i.e. as h approaches zero. The slope of the tangent at P is written: lim slope PQ = h! 0 ( ) ( ) a + h " a lim h! 0 a + h " a

9 = ah + h lim h! 0 h! 0 h = lim a + h When, in the limiting case, h does become zero, then the slope of the tangent at P = a + 0 = a. This means that if f ( ) f a = a. = then '( ) i.e. The slope of f ( ) = at an arbitrary point ( a, a ) is a. In general ( ) D = Definition of derivative from first principles Consider y = f ( ) f '( ) is the limit of QR PR as Q coincides with P. i.e. f '( ) = lim h! 0 f ( + h) " f ( ) h

0 This is called the first principles definition of the derivative of any function, f ( ). If we use the dy d notation then we say dy! y = lim d! " 0!. Eample 1 To find the derivative of 1 from first principles f ( ) 1 = f '( ) = lim h! 0 f ( + h) " f ( ) h = lim h! 0 1 1 " + h h = lim h! 0 "( + ) ( + h) h h " h = lim h! 0 h h = lim ( + ) " 1 ( + ) h! 0 h! 1 = Note that from Chapter 1 we learned the rule " 1 #! 1!! 1 D$ % = D =! = & ' Therefore: ( ) ( 1) D( n ) n! n 1 =. as shown.

" ( ) f g ( ) # $ = f ' g ( ( )) g '( ) This result is best illustrated by eamples. The graph of a function is said to be continuous if it is possible to draw the graph without lifting the pencil from the paper. ie if it has no jumps. It is not possible to find the slope or the derivative of a function at a discontinuity.

Eample Consider ( 1) 5 +. This function can be decomposed by letting ( ) 5 ( ) = + 1. Then ( ) g ( ) ( 1) 5 4 Note that f '( ) = 5 and ( ) Eample 4!

D # + " ( ) 1 ( + ) $ & = % + ( + ) = + In layman terms, the Chain Rule can be thought of as when differentiating a complicated epression, differentiate the most outside function, writing down the bracket as it is, then multiply by the derivative of what s inside the bracket.

4 In a longer chain of functions we have ( ( ( ))) D! f g h " ( ( ( ))) g ' h( ) # $ = f ' g h ( )h' ( ). This can be etended to any length chain of functions. In dy, d notation the Chain Rule can be epressed as dy dy dt =! d dt d OR dy dy d = d dt dt In a longer chain we can say dy dy du dv = i i d du dv d i.e. We can think of these as though they were fractions where we can cancel. In fact, they are limits of fractions to be studied in Chapter 4. We have seen earlier that ( ) + ( ) = '( ) + '( ) D!# f g " $ f g but it is NOT TRUE that we can etend this result to the derivative of the product of two functions. PRODUCT RULE (to be proven at the end of the chapter) Consider f ( ) = g ( ) h( ) then f '( ) = h( ) g '( ) + g ( )h' ( )

Similarly, the derivative of a quotient can be obtained by the following formula: QUOTIENT RULE (to be proven at the end of the chapter) ( ) ( )!

40 Relative Maimum Minimum Points A relative maimum point occurs at a point on a curve where the y value at that point is greater than the y values of points in its neighbourhood. Usually this will occur when the slope is zero. A is a relative maimum point (on a smooth continuous curve). A relative maimum point occurs when the slope changes from + to! Eample 11 To find a relative maimum point on the graph of y =! 6 + 9 + 4 : dy d =! + 1 9 ( ) =! 4 + ( )( ) =! 1! Note that when = 1 or = the slope equals zero. On a signed line diagram we have: Note that f '( ) changes from + to! as passes through the value 1.

41! = 1 yields a relative maimum. A ( 1,8 ) is a relative maimum. Similarly, note that B (,4 ) is a relative minimum point where f '( )! to + as passes through. changes from Summary A relative minimum occurs when f '( ) changes from! to +. A relative maimum occurs when f '( ) changes from + to!. An absolute maimum point is a point which is higher than all other points in the domain of the function, regardless of whether the function is discontinuous or has a slope of zero at the point. ie (a, f(a)) is an absolute maimum point if f(a)>f( ) for all values of in the domain of f.

4 If a curve is discontinuous however and f '( ) 1 relative ma/min point. For eample, y = looks like: changes sign then there will not be a When 0 =, '( ) f changes from + to! but there is not a local maimum point because of the discontinuity. A critical value of a function is a value such that f '( ) = 0 or is undefined changing from +! to! " or vice versa. For eample consider f ( ) = + 1 (! 1) which looks like:

4 On a sign diagram we have: and f '( ) changes sign at both =! and = 1 but =! yields a relative minimum whereas = 1 does not yield either a maimum or a minimum because of the discontinuity. =! and = 1 however are critical values. Note that further notes on relative ma/min points are given in Chapter. The Second Derivative Let s consider the significance of the derivative of f ', written f ".

44 Note that in going from A to E along the curve the slope of the curve is increasing everywhere. The slope of the curve is increasing everywhere i.e. f '( ) is increasing. From Chapter 1 we know that if a function is increasing then its derivative is positive. It follows that if f '( ) is increasing then f "( ) is positive. It can therefore be deduced that, for the curve shown, f "( ) is positive everywhere. is called concave up (note the useful mnemonic cup ) i.e. f "( ) is positive means the graph is part of a cup. Similarly, f "( ) is negative implies the graph is concave down. i.e. like an umbrella: f " is negative umbrella rain frown down f " is positive cup up smile happy We say that f "( ) is a measure of the curvature (or concavity) although the numerical relationship is not easy to define. Suffice it to say, usually, the larger the numerical value of f "( ) at a particular point, the more bendy the curve.

45 Consider the graph shown below: Convince yourself that the table below represents the values of f, f ' and f " for the different intervals of. 0 < < 1 1< < < < < < 4 4 < < 5 5 < < 6 f + + + f ' + + f " + + + Note that in particular when = the graph is changing concavity from down to up i.e. f " is changing from negative to positive i.e. f "( ) = 0. We say that when = the graph has an inflection point.

46 Inflection Points Points P and Q illustrate eamples of inflection points. An inflection point occurs when f "( ) a tangent at that point. changes sign and when it is possible to draw Most often, but not always, this will occur when f "( ) = 0. A good method for locating inflection points is to find where f "( ) = 0 and check to see if f " changes sign at those values of. It is possible for an inflection point to occur when f " is infinite. For eample, consider ( ) 1 f =. At ( 0,0 ) the graph looks like! f " is infinite but ( 0,0 ) is an inflection point since f "( 0 ) is + positive and f "( 0 ) is negative.

47 It is not true however that f "( ) = 0 guarantees an inflection point. For eample, on the graph of y 4 = at ( 0,0 ) the second derivative is 0 but ( 0,0 ) is not an inflection point because "( ) + positive and f "( 0 )! f does not change sign at ( 0,0 ) since f "( 0 ) is positive also. is Note also that if f ( ) is discontinuous when = a then it is not an inflection point even if f ( ) changes concavity because it is not possible to draw a tangent when = a. For eample, f ( ) inflection point. 1 = changes concavity when = 0 but = 0 does not yield an In summary, remember that An inflection point occurs when f "( ) changes sign AND it is possible to draw a tangent.

48 It is quite often helpful to think of an inflection point as a point where the slope is a maimum or a minimum. A is an inflection point where slope is a minimum. B is an inflection point where slope is a maimum. An even function is one in which An eample is f ( ) = f (! ) for all f ( ) = 4 +! 1 An odd function is one in which An eample is f (! ) =! f ( ) ( ) f = + 4

49 It follows that an even function is symmetric about the y ais and an odd function is symmetric about the origin. An even function An odd function

76 Proof of the Product Rule Let y = f ( ) g ( ). Then dy d = ( by definition) f ( + h) g ( + h) " f ( ) g ( ) lim h! 0 h = ( ) ( + )" ( ) ( ) + ( + ) ( + )" ( ) ( + ) h! 0 f lim g h f g f h g h f g h ( ) ( ) ( ) h ( ) ( ) f # g + h " g $ # f + h " f $ = lim % & + lim g ( + h % & ) h! 0 h h! 0 h ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) g + h " g f + h " f = f ( ) lim + lim g ( + h) lim h! 0 h h! 0 h! 0 h ( ) '( ) ( ) '( ) = f g + g f Let y = f g ( ) ( ) = f ( )!

77 Proof of the Chain Rule The Chain Rule is best shown by using dy and d notation (attributable to Liebnitz). Suppose y = f ( ) = g( h( ) ) then this can be decomposed as: f ( ) = g ( u) where u h( ) =. i.e. ( ) ( ) y = g u! "# u = h "$ We wish to find dy d. We wish to show dy dy d =. d du du dy d = (by definition)! y #! y! u $ lim = lim % i &! " 0!! " 0'! u! (! y! u = lim i lim! " 0! u! " 0! Since u is a continuous function of, it follows that as!
