METHOD OF DIFFERENTIATION

1.0 INTRODUCTION :
The essence of calculus is the derivative. The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function
with respect to one of its variables. This is equivalent to finding the slope of the tangent line to the function
at a point. Let us use the view of derivatives as tangents to motivate a geometric definition of the derivative.

1.1 GEOMETRICAL MEANING OF A DERIVATIVE :

Let P x 0 , f ( x 0 )  and Q(x0 + h, f(x0+ h)) be two points very close to each other on the curve y = f(x).
Draw PM and QN perpendiculars from P and Q on x-axis, and draw PL as perpendicular from P on
QN. Let the chord PQ produced to meet the x-axis at R and QRN = QPL = .

Now in right-angled triangle QPL

QL NQ  NL NQ  MP f (x0  h)  f (x0 )
tan  =   =
PL MN ON  OM (x 0  h)  x 0

f (x0  h)  f (x0 )
= .........(1)
h
when h  0, the point Q moving along the curve tends to P, i.e., Q  P. The chord PQ approaches the
tangent line PT at the point P and then  . Now applying Lim in equation (1), we get
h 0

f (x 0  h )  f (x 0 )
Lim tan   y
h0 h Q

f (x0  h)  f (x0 ) 
 tan   Lim y = f(x) P
L
h 0 h
f (x 0  h)  f (x 0 )
 f '(x0) = Lim
h0 h
 
x
O T R M N
This definition of derivative is also called the first
principle of derivative. Clearly, the domain of
definition of f '(x) is wherever the above limit exits.

Note that if y = f (x) then the symbols

dy
= Dy = f ' (x) = y1 or y' have the same meaning.
dx

However a dot, denotes the time derivative.

T-5 DIFFERENTIATION OF COMPOSITE FUNCTION (CHAIN RULE) :

If f(x) and g(x) are differentiable functions, then fog is also differentiable and (fog)' (x) = f '(g(x)).g'(x).
d d d
or, {fog(x)} = d g ( x ) {(fog) (x)} (g(x))

If y is a function of t and t is a function of x, then

Thus, if y = f(t) and t = (x)

dy dy dt
 = × = f '(t)  '(x). This rule is called Chain Rule.
dx dt dx
This chain rule can be extended as follows
Let y = f(t), t = (z), z = (x)
dy dy dt dt
then = × × = f '(t) '(z) '(x)
dx dt dz dx
Let y = log sin x3 = log t
Putting t = sin x3 = sin z, z = x3

It can be extended for any number of functions. In general if y = (E)C where E = function of x and
C = constant then

y = f1(x) f2(x) f3(x) ........ or y = g ( x ) g ( x ) g ( x )..... .

(ii) a function of the form [f(x)]g(x) where f & g are both derivable, it will be found convenient to take the
logarithm of the function first & then differentiate
OR

T-7 IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS :

If the variables x and y are connected by a relation of the form f(x, y) = 0 and it is not possible to express
y as a function of x in the form y = (x), then such functions are said to be implicit functions.
For example,
(i) x2 + xy + y3 = 1 (ii) x + y + sin (xy) = 1 (iii) xy + yx = 1
2 2
y
(iv) 16x  16x  y  1

DERIVATIVE OF IMPLICIT FUNCTION :

(i) In order to find dy/dx, in the case of implicit functions, we differentiate each term w.r.t. x regarding
y as a functions of x & then collect terms in dy/dx together on one side to finally find dy/dx.

(ii) In answers of dy/dx in the case of implicit functions, both x & y are present.

A DIRECT FORMULA FOR IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS :

Let f(x, y) = 0. Take all the terms of left side and put left side equal to f(x, y).
dy diff. of f w.r.t. x keeping y as constant
Then =–
dx diff. of f w.r.t. y keeping x as constant

T-8 DERIVATIVE OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS :

Theorem :

If the inverse functions f & g are defined by y = f(x) & x = g(y) & if f(x) exists & f(x)  0 then
1 dy dy
g (y) = . This result can also be written as,if exists &  0,
