Study Notes
Derivatives Applications
- The presentation covers various applications of derivatives, including higher-order derivatives, increasing/decreasing tests for monotonicity, maximum and minimum values, the second derivative test, L'Hôpital's rule, exercises, and concluding remarks.
Higher Derivatives
- A differentiable function, y = f(x), has derivatives of various orders.
- The first derivative, dy/dx or y' = f'(x), shows the function's rate of change.
- The second derivative, d²y/dx² or y" = f"(x), represents the rate of change of the rate of change.
- The nth derivative, dⁿy/dxⁿ or y(n) = f⁽ⁿ⁾(x), is the nth derivative of the function.
Increasing/Decreasing (I/D) Test for Monotonicity
- A function f is increasing on an interval I if f'(x) > 0 for all x ∈ I.
- A function f is decreasing on an interval I if f'(x) < 0 for all x ∈ I.
Maximum and Minimum Values
- A local maximum occurs at point c if f(c) ≥ f(x) for all x near c.
- A local minimum occurs at point c if f(c) ≤ f(x) for all x near c.
Second Derivative Test
- If f′(c) = 0 and f″(c) > 0, then f has a local minimum at c.
- If f′(c) = 0 and f″(c) < 0, then f has a local maximum at c.
- This test only applies at critical points.
L'Hôpital's Rule
- L'Hôpital's rule is used to evaluate limits of indeterminate form 0/0 or ∞/∞.
- This rule states: If lim f(x) = 0 and lim g(x) = 0 (or both limits are ∞), then lim f(x)/g(x) = lim f'(x)/g'(x).
Exercises
- The presentation includes examples and problems related to each topic discussed.
Conclusion
- The presentation summarizes the key concepts covered regarding derivatives and their various applications.
