  12. Radians Versus Degrees The formulas for derivatives assume x is in radian measure. sin (x°) oscillates only /180 times as oftenas sin (x) oscillates. Its maximum slope is /180. d/dx[sin (x)] = cos (x) d/dx [sin (x°) ] = /180 cos (x°)

  13. 3.7 Implicit Differentiation Although we can not solve explicitly for y, we can assume that y is some function of x and use implicit differentiation to find the slope of the curve at a given point y=f (x)

  14. If y is a function of x then its derivative is y2 is a function of y, which in turn is a function of x. using the chain rule: Find the following derivatives wrt x Use product rule

  15. Implicit Differentiation • Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. This requires the chain rule. 2. Collect terms with dy/dx on one side of the equation. 3. Factor dy/dx 4. Solve for dy/dx

  16. Use Implicit Differentiation Find equations for the tangent and normal to the curve at (2, 4). find the slope of the tangent at (2,4) find the slope of the normal at (2,4)

  17. Solution • Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. This requires the chain rule. • Collect terms with dy/dx on one side of the equation. • Factor dy/dx • 4. Solve for dy/dx

  18. Find dy/dx 1. Write the equation of the tangent line at (0,1) 2. Write the equation of the normal line at (0,1)

  19. Solution • Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. This requires the chain rule. • Collect terms with dy/dx on one side of the equation. • Factor dy/dx • 4. Solve for dy/dx

  20. Find dy/dx 1. Write the equation of the tangent line at (0,1) 2. Write the equation of the normal line at (0,1)

  21. 3.8 Higher Derivatives The derivative of a function f(x) is a function itself f ´(x). It has a derivative, called the second derivative f ´´(x) If the function f(t) is a position function, the first derivative f ´(t)is a velocity function and the second derivative f ´´(t) is acceleration. The second derivative has a derivative (the third derivative) and the third derivative has a derivative etc.

  22. Find the second derivative for Find the third derivative for

  23. In algebra we study relationships among variables • The volume of a sphere is related to its radius • The sides of a right triangle are related by Pythagorean Theorem • The angles in a right triangle are related to the sides. In calculus we study relationships between the rates of change of variables. How is the rate of change of the radius of a sphere related to the rate of change of the volume of that sphere?

  24. 3.9 Examples of rates-assume all variables are implicit functions of t = time Rate of change in radius of a sphere Rate of change in volume of a sphere Rate of change in length labeled x Rate of change in area of a triangle Rate of change in angle,

  25. Solving Related Rates equations • Read the problem at least three times. • Identify all the given quantities and the quantities to be found (these are usually rates.) • Draw a sketch and label, using unknowns when necessary. • Write an equation (formula) that relates the variables. • ***Assume all variables are functions of time and differentiate wrt time using the chain rule. The result is called the related rates equation. • Substitute the known values into the related rates equation and solve for the unknown rate.
