Calculus Chapter 3 Derivatives
3.1 Informal definition of derivative • A derivative is a formula for the rate at which a function changes.
Formal Definitionof the Derivative of a function • f’(x)= lim f(x+h) – f(x) • h->0 h
Notation for derivative • y’ • dy/dx • df/dx • d/dx (f) • f’(x) • D (f)
Rate of change and slope Slope of a secant line See diagram
The slope of the secant line gives the change between 2 distinct points on a curve. i.e. average rate of change
Rate of change and slope-slope of the tangent line to a curvesee diagram
The slope of the tangent line gives the rate of change at that one point i.e. the instantaneous change.
Slope= y-y x-x Slope of secant line m= f ’(x) Slope of tangent line compare
Time for examples • Finding the derivative using the formal definition • This is music to my ears!
A function has a derivative at a point iff the function’s right-hand and left-hand derivatives exist and are equal.
Theorem If f (x) has a derivative at x=c,
Theorem If f (x) has a derivative at x=c, then f(x) is continuous at x=c.
