Method of differntiation - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

METHODS OF DIFFERENTIATION

1. DERIVATIVE OF f(x) FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLE :

Obtaining the derivative using the definition \(\displaystyle\displaystyle \lim_{\delta x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{\delta y}{\delta x}= \displaystyle\displaystyle \lim_{\delta x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{f(x+\delta x)-f(x)}{\delta x}=f^{\prime}(x)=\dfrac{d y}{d x}\) is called calculating derivative using first principle or ab initio or delta method.




2. FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS :

If \(f\) and \(g\) are derivable function of \(x\), then,

(a) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{f} \pm \mathrm{g})=\dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}} \pm \dfrac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}\), known as SUM RULE

(b) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{cf})=\mathrm{c} \dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}}\), where \(\mathrm{c}\) is any constant

(c) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{fg})=\mathrm{f} \dfrac{\mathrm{dg}}{\mathrm{dx}}+\mathrm{g} \dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}}\), known as PRODUCT RULE

(d) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{g}}\right)=\dfrac{\mathrm{g}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)-\mathrm{f}\left(\dfrac{\mathrm{d} g}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)}{\mathrm{g}^{2}}\)

where \(g \neq 0\) known as QUOTIENT RULE

(e) If \(y=f(u) \) & \(u=g(x)\), then \(\dfrac{d y}{d x}=\dfrac{d y}{d u} \cdot \dfrac{d u}{d x}\), known as CHAIN RULE

Note : In general if \(y=f(u)\), then \(\dfrac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(u) \cdot \dfrac{d u}{d x}\).




3. DERIVATIVE OF STANDARD FUNCTIONS :

\(\begin{array}{l} \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline S.No & f(x) & f'(x) \\ \hline \text{(i)} & x^n & nx^{n-1} \\ \text{(ii)} & e^x & e^x \\ \text{(iii)} & a^x & a^x\, \ln a \, , a\gt 0 \\ \text{(iv)} & \ln x & 1/x \\ \text{(v)} & \log_a x & (1/x)\log_a e \, , a\gt 0 \, a\ne 1 \\ \text{(vi)} & \sin x & \cos x \\ \text{(vii)} & \cos x & -\sin x \\ \text{(viii)} & \tan x & \sec^2 x \\ \text{(xi)} & \sec x & \sec x \tan x \\ \text{(x)} & \text{cosec x} & -\text{cosec x}\cot x \\ \text{(xi)} & \cot x & -\text{cosec$^2$ }x \\ \text{(xii)} & \text{constant} & 0 \\ \text{(xiii)} & \sin^{-1}x & \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \,\, -1\lt x\lt 1 \\ \text{(xiv)} & \cos^{-1}x & \dfrac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \,\, -1\lt x\lt 1\\ \text{(xv)} & \tan^{-1}x & \dfrac{1}{1+x^2} \, \, x \in R\\ \text{(xvi)} & \sec^{-1}x & \dfrac{1}{|x|\sqrt{x^2-1}} \,\, |x|\gt 1 \\ \text{(xvii)} & \text{cosec$^{-1}$}x & \dfrac{-1}{|x|\sqrt{x^2-1}}\,\, |x|\gt 1 \\ \text{(xviii)} & \cot^{-1}x & \dfrac{-1}{1+x^2}\, \, x \in R \\ \hline \end{array} \end{array}\)



4. LOGARITHMIC DIFFERENTIATION :

To find the derivative of :
(a) A function which is the product or quotient of a number of function or
(b) A function of the form \([f(x)]^{g (x)}\) where f & g are both derivable, it is convenient to take the logarithm of the function first & then differentiate.



5. DIFFERENTIATION OF IMPLICIT FUNCTION:

(a) Let function is \(\phi(x, y)=0\) then to find \(d y / d x\), 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 \(\mathrm{dy} / \mathrm{dx}.\)
OR \(\dfrac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\dfrac{-\partial \phi / \partial \mathrm{x}}{\partial \phi / \partial \mathrm{y}}\) where \(\dfrac{\partial \phi}{\partial \mathrm{x}} \) & \(\dfrac{\partial \phi}{\partial \mathrm{y}}\) are partial differential coefficient of \(\phi(x, y)\) w.r.t \(x \)\(y\) respectively.

(b) In expression of \(\mathrm{dy} / \mathrm{dx}\) in the case of implicit functions, both x & y are present.



6. PARAMETRIC DIFFERENTIATION :

If \(y=f(\theta) \) & \(x=g(\theta)\) where \(\theta\) is a parameter, then \(\dfrac{d y}{d x}=\dfrac{d y / d \theta}{d x / d \theta}\).



7. DERIVATIVE OF A FUNCTIONW.R.T. ANOTHER FUNCTION:

Let \(y=f(x) ; \quad z=g(x)\), then \(\dfrac{d y}{d z}=\dfrac{d y / d x}{d z / d x}=\dfrac{f^{\prime}(x)}{g^{\prime}(x)}\)



8. DERIVATIVE OF A FUNCTION AND ITS INVERSE FUNCTION :

If inverse of \(y=f(x)\) is denoted as \(g(x)=f^{-1}(x)\), then \(g(f(x))=x\)
\(\Rightarrow g^{\prime}(f(x)) f^{\prime}(x)=1\)



9. HIGHER ORDER DERIVATIVE :

Let a function \(y=f(x)\) be defined on an open interval \((a, b)\). It's derivative, if it exists on \((\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b})\) is a certain function \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})\) [or \((\mathrm{dy} / \mathrm{dx})\) or \(\left.y^{\prime}\right] \&\) it 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 second derivative of y  w.r.t.  x & is denoted by \(f^{\prime \prime}(x)\) or \(\left(\mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{y} / \mathrm{dx}^{2}\right)\) or \(\mathrm{y}^{\prime \prime}\). Similarly, the \(3^{\text {rd }}\) order derivative of \(y\) w.r.t \(\mathrm{x}\), if it exists, is defined by \(\dfrac{d^{3} y}{d x^{3}}=\dfrac{d}{d x}\left(\dfrac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\right) .\) It is also denoted by \(f^{\prime \prime \prime}(x)\) or \(y^{\prime \prime \prime} \) &  so on.



10. DIFFERENTIATION OF DETERMINANTS:

If \(F(x)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}f(x) & g(x) & h(x) \\ l(x) & m(x) & n(x) \\ u(x) & v(x) & w(x)\end{array}\right|\), where \(f, g\), h. \(l, m, n, u, v, w\) are differentiable functions of \(\mathrm{x}\), then
\(F^{\prime}(x)=\left|\begin{array}{lll}f^{\prime}(x) & g^{\prime}(x) & h^{\prime}(x) \\ l(x) & m(x) & n(x) \\ u(x) & v(x) & w(x)\end{array}\right|\)\(+\left|\begin{array}{ccc}f(x) & g(x) & h(x) \\ l^{\prime}(x) & m^{\prime}(x) & n^{\prime}(x) \\ u(x) & v(x) & w(x)\end{array}\right|\)\(+\left|\begin{array}{ccc}f(x) & g(x) & h(x) \\ l(x) & m(x) & n(x) \\ u^{\prime}(x) & v^{\prime}(x) & w^{\prime}(x)\end{array}\right|\)
Similarly one can also proceed column wise.



11. L' HÔPITAL'S RULE :

(a) Applicable while calculating limits of indeterminate forms of the type \(\dfrac{0}{0}, \dfrac{\infty}{\infty}\). If the function \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) and \(\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})\) are differentiable in certain neighbourhood of the point \(\mathrm{a}\), except, may be, at the point a itself, and \(g^{\prime}(x) \neq 0\), and if
\(\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=0\) or \(\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)=\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} g(x)=\infty\),
then \(\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \dfrac{f^{\prime}(x)}{g^{\prime}(x)}\)
provided the limit \(\displaystyle \lim _{x \rightarrow a} \dfrac{\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})}{\mathrm{g}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})}\) exists (L' Hôpital's rule). The point 'a' may be either finite or improper \(+\infty\) or \(-\infty\).

(b) Indeterminate forms of the type \(0 . \infty\) or \(\infty-\infty\) are reduced to forms of the type \(\dfrac{0}{0}\) or \(\dfrac{\infty}{\infty}\) by algebraic transformations.

(c) Indeterminate forms of the type \(1^{\infty}, \infty^{0}\) or \(0^{0}\) are reduced to forms of the type \(0 . \infty\) by taking logarithms or by the transformation \([f(x)]^{\phi(x)}=e^{\phi(x) \cdot\ln f(x)}\)

Difference and relation between Differentiation and Integration

Relation between Differentiation and Integration Table Of Contents Look at the information given below. \[\mathbf{ y=f(x)}\] \[ \mathbf{ f'(x)\rightarrow \text{Derivatives of f(x)}}\] \[ \mathbf{\displaystyle \int_a^b f’(x) = ?}\] Can you tell me the value of above integral? Yes, it will be equal to f(b)-f(a) . We have already known this result. It tells us that integration is just the reverse of differentiation, integral of the derivative of the function f(x) is just equal to the difference in the function f(x) evaluated at the limits of integration. Indefinite integration- Notes and Formula Part 1 Now with this topic, we will understand how to apply this result to find the integral of a function.  Consider this function \(\mathbf{g(x)=x^2}\) Let's find the integral of this function from a to b i.e \(\mathbf{\displaystyle \int_a^b g(x) \, dx}\) .  Can you think how we can apply this result to find ...
