Definite Integral - An Example Illustrating a Complicated Problem in a Simpler Way Using Property

• Consider the following integration problem:
  • ∫ (2x + 3) dx from 0 to 4
• We can evaluate this integral using the property of definite integration.
• Let’s solve this problem step-by-step.

Step 1: Integrating the Function

• First, we need to integrate the given function (2x + 3) with respect to x.
• The integral of 2x is x^2, and the integral of 3 is 3x.
• The resulting integral is x^2 + 3x.

Step 2: Evaluating the Definite Integral

• Now, we will evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 4.
• To do this, we substitute the upper limit (4) into the integral expression and subtract the value obtained by substituting the lower limit (0).
• In this case, we have:
  • ∫ (2x + 3) dx from 0 to 4 = [x^2 + 3x] evaluated from 0 to 4

Step 3: Substituting the Upper Limit

• Let’s substitute 4 into the integral expression:
  • [4^2 + 3(4)] - ?
• Simplifying further:
  • (16 + 12) - ?

Step 4: Substituting the Lower Limit

• Now, let’s substitute 0 into the integral expression:
  • [0^2 + 3(0)] - (16 + 12)

Step 5: Evaluating the Expression

• Simplifying further:
  • (0 + 0) - (16 + 12)
  • 0 - 28
  • -28

Step 6: Final Result

• We have evaluated the definite integral:
  • ∫ (2x + 3) dx from 0 to 4 = -28
• Thus, the value of the definite integral is -28.

Introduction to Differentiation

• Differentiation is a fundamental concept in calculus.
• It involves finding the rate at which a function changes at a particular point.
• Differentiation is used to calculate slopes, velocities, and rates of change.
• In this topic, we will learn the basic principles of differentiation and its applications.

Differentiation - The Basic Principle

• The basic principle of differentiation is to find the derivative of a function.
• The derivative represents the rate of change of the function with respect to its independent variable.
• The derivative is denoted by dy/dx or f’(x), where y represents the dependent variable and x represents the independent variable.
• The derivative measures the slope of a function at a particular point.

Finding Derivatives - Rules and Formulas

• There are various rules and formulas to find the derivative of a function:
  • Power Rule: If f(x) = x^n, then f’(x) = nx^(n-1)
  • Product Rule: If f(x) = u(x)v(x), then f’(x) = u’(x)v(x) + u(x)v’(x)
  • Quotient Rule: If f(x) = u(x)/v(x), then f’(x) = [u’(x)v(x) - u(x)v’(x)]/v(x)^2
  • Chain Rule: If f(x) = g(h(x)), then f’(x) = g’(h(x)) * h’(x)

Example: Applying the Power Rule

• Let’s find the derivative of the function f(x) = 3x^2.
• Using the power rule, the derivative is given by f’(x) = 2 * 3x^(2-1).
• Simplifying further, we get f’(x) = 6x.

Example: Applying the Product Rule

• Consider the function f(x) = (2x + 1) * (3x - 5).
• To find the derivative, we apply the product rule.
• The derivative is given by f’(x) = (2 * (3x - 5)) + ((2x + 1) * 3).
• Simplifying further, we get f’(x) = 6x - 10 + 6x + 3.
• Combining like terms, we obtain f’(x) = 12x + 6.

Example: Applying the Quotient Rule

• Let’s consider the function f(x) = (x^2 + 3x + 2)/(4x - 2).
• To find the derivative, we apply the quotient rule.
• The derivative is given by f’(x) = [(2x + 3) * (4x - 2) - (x^2 + 3x + 2) * 4] / (4x - 2)^2.
• Simplifying further, we get f’(x) = (8x^2 + 4x - 6x - 3 - 4x^2 - 12x - 8)/(4x - 2)^2.
• Combining like terms, we obtain f’(x) = (4x^2 - 10x - 11)/(4x - 2)^2.

Example: Applying the Chain Rule

• Consider the function f(x) = sin(2x).
• To find the derivative, we apply the chain rule.
• The derivative is given by f’(x) = cos(2x) * 2.
• Simplifying further, we get f’(x) = 2cos(2x).

Applications of Differentiation - Maximum and Minimum

• One of the key applications of differentiation is in finding maximum and minimum points of a function.
• To find the maximum and minimum points, we need to locate the critical points where the derivative of a function is zero or undefined.
• At these critical points, the slope of the function changes from positive to negative or vice versa.
• By analyzing these critical points, we can determine whether they represent maxima or minima.

Example: Finding Maximum and Minimum

• Consider the function f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 4.
• To find the maximum and minimum, we first find the derivative f’(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9.
• Next, we locate the critical points by setting f’(x) = 0 and solving for x.
• In this case, we find x = 1 and x = 3 as the critical points.
• To determine whether these points represent maximum or minimum, we analyze the concavity of the function.

Analyzing Concavity

• To determine the concavity of the function, we find the second derivative, f’’(x).
• The second derivative represents the rate at which the slope of the function is changing.
• If f’’(x) > 0, the function is concave up.
• If f’’(x) < 0, the function is concave down.
• By analyzing the concavity, we can determine whether the critical points represent maximum or minimum.

Example: Analyzing Concavity

• Let’s continue with the function f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 4.
• To find the second derivative, we differentiate f’(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9:
  • f’’(x) = 6x - 12.
• Now, we analyze the concavity by evaluating f’’(x) at the critical points x = 1 and x = 3.

Example: Analyzing Concavity (continued)

• Evaluating f’’(x) at x = 1:
  • f’’(1) = 6(1) - 12
  • f’’(1) = -6
• Evaluating f’’(x) at x = 3:
  • f’’(3) = 6(3) - 12
  • f’’(3) = 6

Conclusion: Maximum and Minimum

• Based on the concavity analysis:
  • Since f’’(1) < 0, the point x = 1 represents a maximum.
  • Since f’’(3) > 0, the point x = 3 represents a minimum.
• Therefore, the maximum point is (1, f(1)) and the minimum point is (3, f(3)).
