Di erentiation
In Definition 2.2.2, we defined the slope function of a function f at c by
slope(f(x), c) = lim |
f(x) − f(c) |
|
|
x − c |
|||
x→c |
|||
= lim |
f(c + h) − f(c) |
. |
|
h→0 |
h |
The slope (f(x), c) is called the derivative of f at c and is denoted f0(c). Thus,
f0(c) = lim f(c + h) − f(c).
h→0 h

3.1The Derivative
Definition 3.1.1 Let f be defined on a closed interval [a, b] and a < x < b. Then the derivative of f at x, denoted f0(x), is defined by
f0(x) = lim f(x + h) − f(x)
h→0 h
whenever the limit exists. When f0(x) exists, we say that f is di erentiable at x. At the end points a and b, we define one-sided derivatives as follows:
(i) f0(a+) = lim |
f(x) − f(a) |
= |
lim |
f(a + h) − f(a) |
. |
x→a+ |
x − a |

h→0+ |

CHAPTER 3. DIFFERENTIATION |

We call f0 |
(a+) the right-hand derivative of f at a. |
|||||
(ii) f0(b−) = lim |
f(x) − f(b) |
= |
lim |
f(b + h) − f(b) |
. |
|
We call f0 |
x→b− |
x − b |
h→0− |
h |
||
(b) the left-hand derivative of f at b. |
Example 3.1.1 In Example 28 of Section 2.2, we proved that if f(x) = sin x, then f0(c) = slope (sin x, c) = cos c. Thus, f0(x) = cos x if f(x) = sin x.
Example 3.1.2 In Example 29 of Section 2.2, we proved that if f(x) = cos x, then f0(c) = − sin c. Thus, f0(x) = − sin x if f(x) = cos x.
Example 3.1.3 In Example 30 of Section 2.2, we proved that if f(x) = xn for a natural number n, then f0(c) = ncn−1. Thus f0(x) = nxn−1, when f(x) = xn, for any natural number n.
In order to find derivatives of functions obtained from the basic elementary functions using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, we state and prove the following theorem.
Theorem 3.1.1 If f is di erentiable at c, then f is continuous at c. The converse is false.
Proof. Suppose that f is di erentiable at c. Then |

Therefore, if f is di erentiable at c, then f is continuous at c.
To prove that the converse is false we consider the function f(x) = |x|.
This function is continuous at x = 0. But |

To emphasize the fact that the derivatives are taken with respect to the independent variable x, we use the following notation, as is customary:
f0(x) = dxd (f(x)).
Based on Theorem 3.1.2 and the definition of the derivative, we get the following theorem.
Theorem 3.1.3
(i)ddx(k) = 0, where k is a real constant.
(ii)dxd (xn) = nxn−1, for each real number x and natural number n.
(iii)dxd (sin x) = cos x, for all real numbers (radian measure) x.
(iv)dxd (cos x) = − sin x, for all real numbers (radian measure) x.
(v)dxd (tan x) = sec2 x, for all real numbers x 6= (2n + 1) π2 , n = integer.

(vi)dxd (cot x) = − csc2 x, for all real numbers x 6= nπ, n = integer.
(vii)dxd (sec x) = sec x tan x, for all real numbers x 6= (2n+1)π2 , n = integer.
(viii)dxd (csc x) = − csc x cot x, for all real numbers x 6= nπ, n = integer.

Recall that the equation of the line tangent to the graph of f at (c, f(c)) has slope f0(c) and equations.
Tangent Line: y − f(c) = f0(c)(x − c)
The normal line has slope −1/f0(c), if f0(c) 6= 0 and has the equation:

In each of the following, find the equation of the tangent line and the equation of the normal line for the graph of f at the given c.
11. |
f(x) = x3 + 4x − 12, c = 1 |
12. |

f(xn)
xn+1 = g(xn) = xn − f0(xn) , x0 = given, with the stopping rule, for a given natural number n,
|xn+1 − xn| < 10−n.
In each of the following, set up Newton’s Iteration and perform 3 calculations for a given x0.

20.f(x) = x3 + 2x + 1 , x0 = −0.5

Suppose that a business produces and markets x units of a commercial item. Let
C(x) = The total cost of producing x-units.
p(x) = The sale price per item when x-units are on the market.
R(x) = xp(x) = The revenue for selling x-units.
P (x) = R(x) − C(x) = The gross profit for selling x-items.
C0(x) = The marginal cost.
R0(x) = The marginal revenue.
P 0(x) = The marginal profit.
In each of the problems 24–26, use the given functions C(x) and p(x) and compute the revenue, profit, marginal cost, marginal revenue and marginal profit.
24.C(x) = 100x − (0.2)x2, 0 ≤ x ≤ 5000, p(x) = 10 − x
