Slide Number 5
Differentiation: First Principles [[Image:]] f(x) = x2-x f'(x) is derivative of f(x) A (x, f(x)), B (x+j, f(x+j)) |
Let us understand differentiation using first principles for the function f of x. f of x is equal to x squared minus x
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).
Click on Point tool and click on (3,6). |
Clicking on the Point on Object, create point A at 2 comma 2 and B at 3 comma 6. |
Click on Line tool and click on points B and A. | Click on Line tool and click on points B and A. |
Click on the Move tool.
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 and then 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.
Close the Preferences box. |
Let us make tangent h a red line. |
Click on Point tool and click in Graphics view.
|
Click on the Point tool and click anywhere in Graphics view.
|
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 ones. |
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 AC >> 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 Band 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 slopes of tangents at all points on curve. |
Point to text-box that appears in GeoGebra window.
|
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 7
Differentiation: First Principles, the Algebra
f'(x) = lim_j→0 [(x+j)2-(x+j)-(x2-x)]/(x+j-x)
|
Slope of line AB equals the ratio of the lengths of BC to AC.
|
Slide 8 The Algebra-Cont’d
= 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.
|
Let us look at derivative graphs for some functions. | |
Slide Number 10
Differentiation of a Polynomial Function
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
|

|
Note the equation of g prime x in Algebra view.
Drag the boundary to see it properly | |
Compare slide’s calculations with equation of g'(x) in Algebra view. | Compare the calculations in the previous slide with the equation of g prime x |
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. |
Slope of the tangents at the corresponding points on g of x is 0.
These points on g of x are maxima or a 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. |
Point to minimum of g(x) and x=-3 and x = -1. | In GeoGebra, we can see that the minimum value of g of x lies between x equals -3 and x equals -1. |
In the input bar, type Min.
From the menu that appears, select Min Function Start x-Value End x-Value option. Type g for Function. Press Tab to go to the next argument. Type -4 and -1 as Start and End x-Values. Press Enter. |
In the input bar, type Min.
From the menu that appears, select Min Function Start x-Value End x-Value option. Type g for Function. Press Tab to go to the next argument. Type -4 and -1 as Start and End x-Values. Press Enter. |

Its co-ordinates are -2 comma -11 in Algebra view. |
In the input bar, type Max.
From the menu that appears, select Max Function Start x-Value End x-Value option.
Press Enter. |
In the input bar, type Max.
From the menu that appears, select Max Function Start x-Value End x-Value option.
