METHOD OF DIFFERENTIATION

1. DEFINITION :
If x and x + h belong to the domain of a function f defined by y = f(x), then
Limit f (x  h)  f (x) if it exists , is called the DERIVATIVE of f at x & is denoted by
h 0 h
dy f (x  h)  f (x )
f (x) or . We have therefore , f (x) = Limit
h 0
dx h
2. The derivative of a given function f at a point x = a of its domain is defined as :
Limit f (a  h)  f (a ) , provided the limit exists & is denoted by f (a) .
h 0 h
f (x )  f (a )
Note that alternatively, we can define f (a) = Limit
x a , provided the limit exists.
xa
3. DERIVATIVE OF f(x) FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLE /ab INITIO METHOD:
y f (x   x)  f (x) dy
If f(x) is a derivable function then, Limit
x 0 = Limit
x 0 x
= f (x) =
x dx

4. THEOREMS ON DERIVATIVES :

(v) If y = f(u) & u = g(x) then  . “ CHAIN RULE ”

5. DERIVATIVE OF STANDARDS FUNCTIONS :
(i) D (xn) = n.xn1 ; x  R, n  R, x > 0 (ii) D (ex) = ex

(iii) D (ax) = ax. ln a a > 0 (iv) D (ln x) = (v) D (logax) = logae

7. LOGARITHMIC DIFFERENTIATION : To find the derivative of :
(i) a function which is the product or quotient of a number of functionsOR
(ii) a function of the form [f(x)]g(x) where f & g are both derivable, it will be found convinient to take the
logarithm of the function first & then differentiate. This is called LOGARITHMIC DIFFERENTIATION
8. IMPLICIT DIFFERENTIATION :  (x , y) = 0
(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 .
9. PARAMETRIC DIFFERENTIATION :
If y = f() & x = g() where  is a parameter , then dy  d y / d  .
dx dx / d
10. DERIVATIVE OF A FUNCTION W.R.T. ANOTHER FUNCTION :
dy dy / dx f ' ( x)
Let y = f(x) ; z = g(x) then d z  d z / d x  g'(x) .

11. DERIVATIVES OF ORDER TWO & THREE :

Let a function y = f(x) be defined on an open interval (a, b). It’s derivative, if it exists on
(a, b) is a certain function f (x) [o r (dy/dx) or y ] & is called the first derivative
of y w.r.t. x.
If it happens that the first derivative has a derivative on (a , b) then this derivative is called the second
derivative of y w. r. t. x & is denoted by f (x) or (d2y/dx2) or y .
d 3y d  d 2y 
Similarly, the 3rd order derivative of y w. r. t. x , if it exists, is defined by d x 3  dx  d x 2  It is also denoted

by f (x) or y .
f (x) g(x) h (x)
12. If F(x) = l(x) m(x) n(x) , where f , g , h , l , m , n , u , v , w are differentiable functions of x then
u(x) v(x) w (x)

f ' (x) g' (x) h' (x) f (x) g(x) h(x) f (x) g(x) h(x)
F (x) = l(x) m(x) n(x) + l '(x) m' (x) n'(x) + l (x) m(x) n(x)
u(x) v(x) w(x) u(x) v (x ) w(x) u' (x) v' (x) w'(x)

13. L’ HOSPITAL’S RULE :
If f(x) & g(x) are functions of x such that :
(i) Limit f(x) = 0 = Limit g(x) OR Limit f(x) =  = Limit g(x) and
x a x a x a x a
(ii) Both f(x) & g(x) are continuous at x = a &
(iii) Both f(x) & g(x) are differentiable at x = a &
(iv) Both f (x) & g (x) are continuous at x = a , Then
Limit f (x) = Limit f '(x) = Limit f "(x) & so on till indeterminant form vanishes.
x a g(x) x a x a g' (x) g"(x)
