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


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 and press Enter.

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

f x in parentheses equals x caret 2 minus x

Point to the equation in Algebra view.

Point to parabola in Graphics view.

The equation appears in the Algebra view and the function f is graphed as a parabola.
Point to parabola in Graphics view. It opens upwards and intersects the x-axis at two points.
Click on Point on Object tool >> click on the parabola at (2,2).

Point to A at (2,2).

Under Point, click on Point on Object and click on the parabola at 2 comma 2.

This creates point A.

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

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.

Let us 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. Then 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. Click on the Point tool and click anywhere in Graphics view.
Point to point C. This creates point C.
Double click on point C in Algebra view and change its coordinates to (x(B),y(A)). In Algebra view, double-click on C and change its coordinates to the following ones.

In parentheses, x B in parentheses comma y A in parentheses.

Press Enter.

Point to C. Now C has the same x coordinate as point B and the same y coordinate as point A.
Let us draw segments BC and AC.
Under Line, click on Segment and click on B and C, and then on A and C. Under Line, click on Segment and click on B and C.

Then, click on A and C to draw AC.

Note that BC and AC are called i and j in the order of their creation.

Right-click on AC >> Select Object Properties >> Color tab >> Purple

Click on Style tab >> select dashed line

We will make AC and BC purple and dashed segments.
Under Basic tab >> choose Name and Value >> Show Label check box. Under Basic tab, choose Name and Value from the dropdown menu next to the Show Label check box.
Close the Preferences dialog box. Close the Preferences dialog box.
Click on Move and drag B towards A on the parabola. Click on Move and 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 the lines g and h. When j equals 0, line g through A and B coincides with the tangent line h at A.

But slope of g is undefined as the denominator of the ratio of i to j is 0.

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 7

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]

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 8 Differentiation: First Principles—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.

As j is a common factor in the numerator, we will pull it out.

Now, we can cancel j from both the numerator and denominator.

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.

Thus, the derivative of a function is the slope of the tangent at a point on the function.

Let us look at derivative graphs for some functions.
Slide Number 10

Differentiation of a Polynomial Function

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

d(5+12x-x3)/dx = d(5)/dx + d(12x)/dx - d(x3)/dx = 0 + 12 - 3x 2 = -3x 2 +12

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

Consider g of x equals 5 plus 12 x minus x cubed.

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

g prime x equals 5 plus 12 x minus x cubed 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.

Click on Point on Object tool and click on the curve to create point A. Click on Point on Object tool and click on curve g of x to create point A.
Click on Tangent under Perpendicular Line.

Click on point A and the curve.

Under Perpendicular Line, click on Tangent.

Now click on point A and the curve g of x.

Point to tangent line f to the curve at point A. This draws a tangent line f to the curve at point A.
Click on Slope tool under Angle tool and on tangent line f. Under Angle, click on Slope and on tangent line f.
Point to slope of line f at A appearing as m value in Graphics view. Slope of line fat A appears as m value in Graphics view.

Double click on point B in Algebra view and change coordinates to (x(A), m). In Algebra view, double click on B and change its coordinates to x A in parentheses comma m.

Press Enter.

Point to points A and B and slope m of tangent line g. This makes x coordinate of B the same as that of A.

And slope m of tangent line f is its y coordinate.

Right-click on point B and select Trace On option. Right-click on point B and select Trace On option
Click on Move tool and move point A on curve.

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 use differentiation to find the maxima and minima of a function.

Let us look at 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 with capital M.

Press Enter.

Point to maximum C in Graphics view and its co-ordinates in Algebra view. In Graphics view, we see the maximum on g of x.

Its co-ordinates are 2 comma 21 in Algebra view.

Finally, let us take a look at a practical application of differentiation.
