Title Slide

Welcome to this tutorial on Differentiation using GeoGebra.
Slide Number 2

Learning Objectives

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use GeoGebra to:

Understand Differentiation

Draw graphs of derivative of functions.

Slide Number 3

System Requirement

Here I am using:

Ubuntu Linux Operating System version 16.04

GeoGebra 5.0.481.0-d.

Slide Number 4

Pre-requisites

www.spoken-tutorial.org

To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with:

GeoGebra interface

Differentiation

For relevant tutorials, please visit our website.

Slide Number 5

Differentiation: First Principles


f(x) = x2-x

f'(x) is derivative of f(x)

A (x, f(x)), B (x+j, f(x+j))

Differentiation: First Principles

Let us understand differentiation using first principles for the function f of x.

f of x is equal to x squared minus x


f prime x is the derivative of f of x.


Consider 2 points, A and B.

A is x comma f of x and B is x plus j comma f of x plus j

Show the GeoGebra window. I have opened the GeoGebra interface.
Type f(x)=x^2-x in the input bar >> Enter In the input bar, type the following line.

For the caret symbol, hold the Shift key down and press 6.

Press Enter.

Point to the equation in Algebra view.

Point to parabola in Graphics view.

Observe the equation and the parabolic graph of function f.
Click on Point on Object tool >> click on the parabola at (2,2).

Point to A at (2,2).

Click on Point tool and click on (3,6).

Clicking on the Point on Object tool, create point A at 2 comma 2 and B at 3 comma 6.
Click on Line tool >> click on points B and A. Click on Line tool and click on points B and A to draw line g.
Click on the Move tool.

Double click on the resulting line g and click on Object Properties.

Click on Color tab and select blue.

Click on Style tab and select dashed style.

As shown earlier in this series, make this line g blue and dashed.
Click on Tangents tool under Perpendicular Line tool. Under Perpendicular Line, click on Tangents.
Click on A >> click on the parabola. Click on A and then on the parabola.
Point to tangent h at point A to the parabola. This draws a tangent h at point A to the parabola.
Double click on tangent h and click on Object Properties.

Under Color tab, select red.

Close the Preferences box.

Let us make tangent h a red line.
Click on Point tool and click in Graphics view.

Point to point C.

Click on the Point tool and click anywhere in Graphics view.

This creates point C.

Double click on point C in Algebra view and change its coordinates to (x(B),y(A)).

Point to C.

In Algebra view, double-click on C and change its coordinates to the following.
Point to B and A. Now C has the same x coordinate as point B and the same y coordinate as point A.
Under Line, click on Segment and click on B and C, and then on A and C. Let us use the Segment tool to draw segments BC and AC.
Right-click on C >> Select Object Properties >> Color tab >> Purple

Click on Style tab >> select dashed line

Under Basic tab >> choose Name and Value >> Show Label check box.

Close the Preferences dialog box.

We will make AC and BC purple and dashed segments.
With Move highlighted, drag B towards A on the parabola. With Move highlighted, drag B towards A on the parabola.
Point to the value of j (length of AC) and lines g and h. Observe lines g and h and the value of j (length of AC).

As j approaches 0, points B and A begin to overlap.

Lines g and h also begin to overlap.

Point to line g, BC and AC. Slope of line g is the ratio of length of BC to length of AC.
Point to all the points on the parabola. Derivative of the parabola is the slope of the tangent at each point on the curve.
Point to text-box that appears in GeoGebra window.

As B approaches A, slope AB approaches slope of tangent at A.

As B approaches A on f of x, slope of AB approaches the slope of tangent at A.
Now let us look at the Algebra behind these concepts.
Slide Number 6

Differentiation: First Principles, the Algebra


f'(x) = lim_j→0 (length of Segment BC / length of Segment AC)

= lim_j→0 [(f(x+j) – f(x)]/[(x+j) – x]

Remember f(x) = x2-x, (x+j)2 = x2+2xj+j2

f'(x) = lim_j→0 [(x+j)2-(x+j)-(x2-x)]/(x+j-x)

Differentiation: First Principles, the Algebra

Slope of line AB equals the ratio of the lengths of BC to AC.

Line AB becomes the tangent at point A as distance j between A and B approaches 0.


BC is the difference between y coordinates, f of x plus j and f of x, for A and B.


AC is the difference between the x-coordinates, x plus j and x.

Let us rewrite f of x plus j and f of x in terms of x squared minus x.

We will expand the terms in the numerator.

Slide Number 7

The Algebra-Cont’d


f'(x) = lim_j→0 [x2+2xj+j2-x-j-x2+x]/j

= lim_j→0 [2xj+j2-j]/j = lim_j→0 [j(2x+j-1)]/j


= lim_j→0 [2x+j-1] = 2x-1

f'(x2-x) = 2x -1

After expanding the terms in the numerator, we will cancel out similar terms with opposite signs.


We will pull out j from the numerator and cancel it.


Note that as j approaches 0, j can be ignored. So that 2x plus j minus 1 approaches 2x minus 1.


As we know, derivative of x squared minus x is 2x minus 1.

Let us look at derivative graphs for some functions.
Slide Number 8

Differentiation of a Polynomial Function


Consider g(x)=5+12x-x3

Differentiation rules:

d(u±v)/dx = d(u)/dx ± d(v)/dx

d(5+12x-x3)/dx = d(5)/dx + d(12x)/dx - d(x3)/dx = 0 + 12 - 3x2 = -3x2 +12


For g(x)=5+12x-x3, g'(x) = -3x2 +12

Differentiation of a Polynomial Function

Consider g of x.

Derivative g prime x is the sum and difference of derivatives of the individual components.


g prime x is calculated by applying these rules.

Let us differentiate g of x in GeoGebra.
Open a new GeoGebra window. Open a new GeoGebra window.
Type g(x)=5+12x-x^3 in input bar >> Enter In the input bar, type the following line and press Enter.
Under Move Graphics View, click on Zoom Out.

Click in Graphics view until you see function g.

Let us find the maxima and minima of the function g of x.
Point to derivative curve g'(x) above the x-axis and to g(x). Derivative curve g prime x remains above the x-axis (is positive) as long as g of x is increasing.
Point to derivative curve g'(x) below the x-axis and to g(x). g prime x remains below the x-axis (is negative) as long as g of x is decreasing.
Point to derivative curve g'(x) intersecting x-axis at x = -2 and x = 2. 2 and -2 are the values of x when g prime x equals 0.
Point to slope. Slope of the tangent at the corresponding point on g of x is 0.

Such points on g of x are maxima or minima.

Point to (-2,-11) and (2,21). Hence, for g of x, -2 comma -11 is the minimum and 2 comma 21 is the maximum.

A Practical Application of Differentiation


We have a 24 inches by 15 inches piece of cardboard

We have to convert it into a box

Squares have to be cut out from the four corners

What size squares should we cut out to get the maximum volume of the box?

Point to the maximum on top of the broad peak and to x = 0 and x = 7. Note that the maximum is on the top of this broad peak.
Point to both axes. The length of the square side is plotted along the x-axis.

Volume of the box is plotted along the y-axis.

In the input bar, type Max with capital M.


From the menu that appears, select Max Function Start x-Value End x-value.


Instead of highlighted Function, type f.


Press Tab to move and highlight Start x-Value and type 0.


Again, press Tab to move and highlight End x-Value and type 10.


Press Enter.

As before, let us find the maximum of this function.
Point to the maximum, A, in Graphics view and its coordinates in Algebra view. This maps the maximum, point A, on the curve.

Its coordinates 3 comma 486 appear in Algebra view.


Thus, we have to cut out 3 inch squares from all corners.

This will give the maximum possible volume of 486 cubic inches for the cardboard box.
