Winter wk 4 – Tues.25.Jan.05 • Review: • Polynomial rule for derivatives • Differentiating exponential functions • Higher order derivatives • How to differentiate combinations of functions? • Product rule (3.3) • Quotient rule (3.4) Energy Systems, EJZ
Differentiating polynomials and ex Differentiating polynomials: Integrating polynomials: Slope of ex increases exponentially: d/dx(ex) = ex d/dx(ax) = ln(a) ax
Higher order derivatives Second derivative = rate of change of first derivative
Ch.3.3: Products of functions If these are plots of f(x) and g(x) Then sketch the product y(x) = f(x).g(x) = f.g
Differentiating products of functions Ex: We couldn’t do all derivatives with last week’s rules: y(x) = x ex. What is dy/dx? Write y(x) = f(x) g(x). Slope of y = (f * slope of g) + (g * slope of f) Try this for y(x) = x ex, where f=x, g=ex
Practice – Ch.3.3 Spend 10-15 minutes doing odd # problems on p.121 Pick one or two of these to set up together: 32, 38, 45
Ch.3.4 Functions of functions Ex: We couldn’t do 3.1 #36 with last week’s rules: y =(x+3)½ What is dy/dx? Consider y(x) = f(g(x)) = f(z), where z=g(x). Try this for y =(x+3)½ , where z=x+3, f=z½
Proof (justification) Differentiating functions of functions: y(x) = f(g(x)) See #17, p.154 Derive the chain rule using local linearizations: g(x+h) ~ g(x) + g’(x) h = f(z+k) ~ f(z) + f’(z) k = y’ = f’(g(x)) =
Differentiating functions of Functions If these are plots of f(x) and g(x) Then sketch function y(x) = f(g(x)) = f(g)
Practice – Ch.3.4 Spend 10-15 minutes doing odd # problems on p.126 Pick one or two of these to set up together: 52, 54, 62, 66, 68
