ET 2.5: Pg 104: #7. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of g(x) at (2, -5). Derivative: Slope of the line tangent to the graph at a point. Also, write everything you know about a derivative. 1 st derivative is velocity. 2 nd derivative is acceleration. “P SST ” I know!.

1st derivative is velocity 2nd derivative is acceleration “PSST” I know! Turns Volume into Surface Area Derivative can only happen when the function is continuous with the exception of a cusp. Differentiable at point c Continuous at point c The Constant Multiple Rule Product & Quotient Rule Power rule One degree less than original function. Derivative at a max or min is zero. Chain Rule: “Stuff” Derivative: Slope of the line tangent to the graph at a point. Instantaneous rate of change. OR
Ex: The derivative of 4x3 + sinx, with respect to x, is 12x2 + cosx. “With respect to x” The fact that I say you are finding the derivative with respect to x doesn’t make the problem any harder or any different. In fact, I wouldn’t need to tell you which variable you were “respecting” so to speak, because x was the only variable in the problem. BUT, Now the problems are going to have x and y in them. We will want to take the “derivative of y with respect to x”. What you are deriving. What you are respecting.
Explicit Function Implicit Function y
Determine the slope of the graph of at the point (3,1). Now could you write the eq. of the tangent?

ET 2.5b What is the purpose of implicit differentiation? Allows you to find the slope of a tangent line when the equation in the question cannot be solved for y. Copy Definition A normal line is perpendicular to a function’s tangent line at the point of tangency.
We will want to take the “derivative of y with respect to x”. What you are deriving. What you are respecting.
#66a Differentiate with respect to x.
#66a Differentiate with respect to t. x & y are functions of t.
Find dy/dx implicitly for the equation siny = x. Then find the largest interval of the form –a < y < a on which y is a differentiable function of x. x2
