3.1 Derivatives Stock Market/ Economic Crash Nope, not that kind of derivative
We write: is called the derivative of at . “The derivative of f with respect to x is …”
There are many ways to write the derivative of Alternate Form of Derivative provided the limit exists
“the derivative of f with respect to x” “f prime x” or “y prime” “the derivative of y with respect to x” “the derivative of f with respect to x” “the derivative of f of x”
Note: dx does not mean d times x ! dy does not mean d times y !
does not mean ! Note:
does not mean times ! Note:
The derivative is the slope of the original function. The derivative is defined at the end points of a function on a closed interval.
A function is differentiable if it has a derivative everywhere in its domain. It must be continuous and smooth. Functions on closed intervals must have one-sided derivatives defined at the end points. p
Graphing a Derivative on TI 83+ The proper notation for graphing the derivative is nDeriv(function,X,X).
Graph of f(x) Make a table of approximations of slopes of tangent lines at the pts 6 1 0 -1.5 -1 0 1 Now lets take these values and make a graph of all the slopes ( f ‘ (x) graph )

Conceptual questions: Let y = g(x) be a function that measures the water depth in a pool x minutes after the pool begins to fill. Then g’(25) represents: • The rate at which the depth is increasing 25 minutes • after the pool starts to fill • II. The average rate at which the depth changes over • the first 25 minutes • III. The slope of the graph of g at the point where x = 25 • I only B) II only C) III only D) I and II • E) I and III F) I, II, and III
The function y = f(x) measures the fish population in Lincoln Pond at time x, where x is measured in years since January 1st, 1950. If • There are 500 fish in the pond in 1975 • B) There are 500 more fish in 1975 than there were in 1950 • C) On average, the fish population increased by 500 per • year over the first 25 years following 1950 • D) On Jan. 1st, 1975, the fishing population was growing • at a rate of 500 fish per year • E) None of the above
