 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First of all we would like to express our deepest appreciation to our instructor, Engr.

Abdul Halil S. Abdullah for giving us a chance to complete our unfinished business, he

continually and convincingly remind us that despite having these calamities and pandemics

we should not give up our dreams, without his guidance this book would not have been

possible.

We also like to thank the greatest scientist and inventors in the past because without

their persistence and hard work technology and knowledge will not increase and none of

these would be possible either, making use of their inventions, which is the internet and

computers makes it easy.

In addition, we also like to thank all our friends and family for helping us survive all

the stress from this year and not letting us give up, lastly we would like to thank ourselves for

having a great teamwork and understanding each other despite having difficulties

communicating.

 CHAPTER 1

Lesson 1. Differentiation Rules

• What is Differential Calculus? A branch of mathematics concerned

with the determination, properties,
and application of derivatives and
differentials.

• What is a Derivative? Tells us the slope of a function at

any point.

Here are useful rules to help you work out the derivatives of many
functions (with examples below). Note: the little mark (’) means
"Derivative of", and (f) and (g) are functions.

 Lesson 2. Rate of change

Rate of Change is often used when speaking

about momentum and it can generally be
expressed as a ratio between changes in one
• What is Rate of change?
variable relative to a corresponding change
in another; graphically, the slope of a line
represents the rate of change.

The purpose of this lesson is to remind us of one of the more important applications
of derivatives. That is the fact that f′(x) represents the rate of change of f(x).

A Differential Equation is an
equation with a function and
one or more of its derivatives.

Solving:
We solve it when we discover the function y (or set of
functions y). There are many "tricks" to solving
Differential Equations (if they can be solved!), But first
why?

Why Are Differential Equations Useful?

In our world things change, and describing how they

change often ends up as a Differential Equation:

11
 L e s s o n 2

Example: Rabbits !

Differential Equations can describe how populations

change, how heat moves, how springs vibrate, how
radioactive material decays and much more. They are a
very natural way to describe many things in the universe.

12
Example: Compound Interest

On its own, a Differential Equation is a wonderful way to

express something, but is hard to use. So we try to solve
them by turning the Differential Equation into a simpler
equation without the differential bits, so we can do
calculations, make graphs, predict the future, and so on..

13
 EXERCISES 1

Derive the following

7. Suppose s(t) = 2𝑡 3 represents the position of a race car along a straight

track, measured in feet from the starting line at time t seconds. What is
the average rate of change of s(t) from t = 2 to t = 3?

The average rate of change is equal to the total change in position

divided by the total change in time:

8. What is the instantaneous rate of change of the same racecar at time t =

2?
The instantaneous rate of change measures the rate of change, or slope,
of a curve at a certain instant. Thus, the instantaneous rate of change is
given by the derivative. In this case, the instantaneous rate is s'(2).

14
Lesson 3. Trigonometric functions

The identities mentioned

so far can be remembered
using one clever diagram
called the Magic Hexagon.

NOTE: The Magic

Hexagon can help you
memorize the
trigonometric
identities only not the
exact derivative of the
trigonometric
functions.

15
 L e s s o n 3

But how can we say that the derivative of the trigonometric functions are real
or correct? Did they just drop out of the sky? Can we prove them somehow?

Taylor Series

Just on a fun side note, we can use the Taylor Series expansions and
differentiate term by term.

But this is "circular reasoning" because the original expansion

of the Taylor Series already use the rules "the derivative of
sin(x) is cos(x)" and "the derivative of cos(x) is −sin(x)".

Lesson 4. Chain Rule
Because you already know how to use chain rule, now we must go deeper and
understand more about chain rule, here are some examples.

Implicit vs Explicit
A function can be explicit or implicit:

IMPLICIT: "some EXPLICIT: "y = some

function of y and x function of x".
equals something When we know x we
else". Knowing x can calculate y
does not lead directly.
directly to y.

 CHAPTER 2

Lesson 1. Inverse Functions

An inverse function goes the other way!

Let us start with an example:

Here we have the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3, written as a flow diagram:

The inverse is usually shown by putting a little "-1" after the function name, like this:

So, the inverse of 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟑 is written:

𝒇−𝟏 (𝒚) = (𝒚 − 𝟑)/𝟐

26
 L e s s o n 1

The cool thing about the inverse is that it should give us back the original value:

So applying a function f and then its inverse 𝑓 −1 gives us the original value back
again:

𝒇−𝟏 ( 𝒇(𝒙) ) = 𝒙

We could also have put the functions in the other order and it still works:

𝒇 ( 𝒇−𝟏 (𝒙)) = 𝒙

Lesson 2. Logarithmic Functions

• What is the purpose of a The purpose of the inverse of a

logarithmic function? function is to tell you what x
value was used when you
already know the y value. So the
purpose of the logarithm is to
tell you the exponent. Thus, our
simple definition of a logarithm
is that it is an exponent.

Lesson 4. Related Rates

A "related rates" problem is a

problem which involves at least two
changing quantities and asks you to
• What is Related Rates? figure out the rate at which one is
changing given sufficient
information on all of the others. For
example, as two vehicles drive in
different directions we should be
able to deduce the speed at which
they are separating if we know the
individual speeds and directions.

There are several key steps in setting up and solving related rates problems. They are:

1. Draw a picture or otherwise make a mathematical model of the situation.

2. Label all quantities, which can change as variables.
3. Identify the underlying independent variable in the problem. This is usually time but it need not be.
4. Identify in terms of the variables and their derivatives what is being asked and what is given.
5. Use the mathematical model to write down a relation among the variables.
6. Differentiate this relation with respect to the underlying independent variable, usually making heavy
use of the chain rule.
7. Solve for the quantity wanted.
8. Go back over your work and write up a presentable solution.

EXAMPLE 1

Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 5 cm3/min. Determine the rate at
which the radius of the balloon is increasing when the diameter of the balloon is 20 cm.

The first thing that we will need to do here is to identify what information that we have
been given and what we want to find. Before we do that let’s notice that both the volume
of the balloon and the radius of the balloon will vary with time and so are really functions
of time, i.e..

We know that air is being pumped into the balloon at a rate of 5 cm3/min. This is the rate
at which the volume is increasing. Recall that rates of change are nothing more than
derivatives and so we know that,

We want to determine the rate at which the radius is changing. Again, rates are
derivatives and so it looks like we want to determine,

Note that we needed to convert the diameter to a radius.

Now that we’ve identified what we have been given and what we want to find we need to
relate these two quantities to each other. In this case we can relate the volume and the
radius with the formula for the volume of a sphere.

As in the previous section when we looked at implicit differentiation, we will typically not
use the part of things in the formulas, but since this is the first time through one of
these we will do that to remind ourselves that they are really functions of

Now we don’t really want a relationship between the volume and the radius. What we
really want is a relationship between their derivatives. We can do this by differentiating
both sides with respect to In other words, we will need to do implicit differentiation on
the above formula. Doing this gives,

Note that at this point we went ahead and dropped the from each of the terms. Now
all that we need to do is plug in what we know and solve for what we want to find.

EXAMPLE 2

A 15 foot ladder is resting against the wall. The bottom is initially 10 feet away from the
1
wall and is being pushed towards the wall at a rate of 4
ft/sec. How fast is the top of the
ladder moving up the wall 12 seconds after we start pushing?

The first thing to do in this case is to sketch picture that shows us what is going on.

We’ve defined the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall to be and the
distance of the top of the ladder from the floor to be Note as well that these are
changing with time and so we really should write However, as is often the
case with related rates/implicit differentiation problems we don’t write the part just
try to remember this in our heads as we proceed with the problem.

Next, we need to identify what we know and what we want to find. We know that the
rate at which the bottom of the ladder is moving towards the wall. This is,

Note as well that the rate is negative since the distance from the wall, is decreasing. We
always need to be careful with signs with these problems

We want to find the rate at which the top of the ladder is moving away from the floor.
This is Note as well that this quantity should be positive since will be increasing.

As with the first example, we first need a relationship between We can get this
using Pythagorean theorem.

Notice that we got the correct sign for If we’d gotten a negative value we’d have
known that we had made a mistake and we could go back and look for it.

Lesson 5. Higher Order Derivatives

Higher Order Derivatives. Because

• What is Higher Order Derivative? the derivative of a function y = f( x) is
itself a function y′ = f′( x), you can
take the derivative of f′( x), which is
generally referred to as the second
derivative of f(x) and written f“( x) or
f 2( x).

Higher-order Derivatives. The derivative is “the rate of change of function at a specified

point”. The derivative of the function f (x) with respect to x at the point x0 is the function f ′
(x0), which is given below: The derivatives other than the first derivative are called the
higher order derivatives.

• What is the purpose of higher order And higher derivatives are also used
derivative? for approximating functions using
Taylor polynomials, which can be
useful when a certain amount of
precision is required. The Euler-
Bernoulli equation, which describes
the relationship between a beam's
deflection and the applied load,
involves a 4th derivative.

Lesson 6. Maxima and Minima

In a smoothly changing function a maximum or minimum is always

where the function flattens out (except for a saddle point).
Where does it flatten out? Where the slope is zero.
Where is the slope zero? The Derivative tells us.

Lesson 7. Application Of Derivatives

In this section, we focus on the applications of the derivative. Despite

the fact that the definition of the derivative is rather abstract (using the
limit of the ratio of the increments of the function and the independent
variable), the fields of its applications are extremely diverse. With the
help of the derivative, one can solve such problems as investigation of
functions and sketching their graphs, optimization of various systems
and modes of operations, simplifying algebraic expressions,
approximate calculations, and much more.
