Definition of derivative

• The derivative of a function measures the rate at which the function is changing at any given point.
• It represents the instantaneous rate of change of a function.
• The derivative of a function f(x) is denoted by f’(x) or dy/dx.

Interpretation of derivative as rate of change

• The derivative of a function at a particular point represents the rate at which the function is changing at that point.
• It can be interpreted as the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.
• If the derivative is positive, the function is increasing.
• If the derivative is negative, the function is decreasing.
• If the derivative is zero, the function has a stationary point.

Notations for derivative

• f’(x) or dy/dx : Leibniz notation
• df/dx : Lagrange notation
• y’ : Newton notation
• Df(x) : Operator notation

Formula for derivative of a function

• The derivative of a function f(x) can be calculated using various methods such as power rule, product rule, quotient rule, chain rule, etc.
• The general formula for finding the derivative of a function is: f'(x) = lim(h→0) [(f(x+h) - f(x))/h] where h is a very small change in x.

Examples of finding derivatives using the power rule

• Derivative of a constant function: f(x) = c, where c is a constant

  f'(x) = 0

• Derivative of a linear function: f(x) = mx + c, where m and c are constants

  f'(x) = m

• Derivative of a quadratic function: f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants

  f'(x) = 2ax + b

• Derivative of a cubic function: f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d, where a, b, c, and d are constants

  f'(x) = 3ax^2 + 2bx + c

• Derivative of a power function: f(x) = x^n, where n is a constant

  f'(x) = nx^(n-1) Example: Find the derivative of f(x) = 3x^4

  Sol: f’(x) = 4(3x^(4-1)) = 12x^3 Example: Find the derivative of f(x) = x^5 Sol: f’(x) = 5(x^(5-1)) = 5x^4

Examples of finding derivatives of trigonometric functions

• Derivative of sine function: f(x) = sin(x)

  f'(x) = cos(x)

• Derivative of cosine function: f(x) = cos(x)

  f'(x) = -sin(x)

• Derivative of tangent function: f(x) = tan(x)

  f'(x) = sec^2(x)

• Derivative of cosecant function: f(x) = csc(x)

  f'(x) = -csc(x) cot(x)

• Derivative of secant function: f(x) = sec(x)

  f'(x) = sec(x) tan(x)

• Derivative of cotangent function: f(x) = cot(x)

  f'(x) = -cosec^2(x) Example: Find the derivative of f(x) = sin(x) Sol: f’(x) = cos(x) Example: Find the derivative of f(x) = tan(x) Sol: f’(x) = sec^2(x)
