Study Notes
Unidad 3: Derivadas
- Este capítulo explora el concepto de derivadas, sus reglas, cálculo, propiedades y aplicaciones.
- Incluye la interpretación geométrica, reglas de diferenciación, derivadas de orden superior, diferenciación implícita y aplicaciones específicas como rectas tangentes, razones de cambio relacionadas, máximos y mínimos y trazado de curvas.
3.1. Interpretación Geométrica de la Derivada
- La derivada f'(a) representa la pendiente de la recta tangente a la gráfica de la función f(x) en x = a.
- La pendiente se calcula mediante el límite: f'(a) = lim (h→0) [f(a+h) - f(a)] / h, si este existe.
- Ejemplo: Para f(x) = x², la pendiente en x = 2 se calcula como f'(2) = 4.
3.2. Reglas de Derivación
- Facilitan el cálculo de derivadas:
- Regla de la Potencia: Si f(x) = xⁿ, entonces f'(x) = nxⁿ⁻¹.
- Regla de la Constante: Si f(x) = c, entonces f'(x) = 0.
- Regla del Producto: Si f(x) = u(x)v(x), entonces f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x).
- Regla del Cociente: Si f(x) = u(x) / v(x), entonces f'(x) = [u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)] / [v(x)]².
- Regla de la Cadena: Si f(x) = g(h(x)), entonces f'(x) = g'(h(x)) ⋅ h'(x).
3.3. Derivadas de Orden Superior
- Se obtienen derivando sucesivamente la derivada de una función.
- Notación: f'(x), f''(x), f'''(x), y f⁽ⁿ⁾(x) para la n-ésima derivada.
- Ejemplo: Para f(x) = x⁴ + 3x² - 2x + 1:
- f'(x) = 4x³ + 6x - 2
- f''(x) = 12x² + 6
- f'''(x) = 24x
- f⁽⁴⁾(x) = 24
- f⁽⁵⁾(x) = 0
3.4. Derivación Implícita
- Se aplica cuando x e y están relacionados por una ecuación en lugar de una función explícita y = f(x).
- Se derivan ambos lados de la ecuación con respecto a x y se despeja dy/dx.
- Ejemplo: Para x² + y² = 25, la derivada dy/dx = -x/y.
3.5. Aplicaciones de la Derivada
3.5.1. Rectas Tangentes y Normales
- Recta Tangente: y - f(a) = f'(a)(x - a)
- Recta Normal: y - f(a) = -[1 / f'(a)](x - a)
3.5.2. Razones de Cambio Relacionadas
- Involucran variables con tasas de cambio interrelacionadas.
- Los pasos incluyen identificar variables, encontrar una ecuación que las relacione, derivar con respecto al tiempo, sustituir valores conocidos y resolver.
- Ejemplo: Un globo se infla a 100 cm³/s; cuando el radio es de 5 cm, la tasa de cambio del radio dr/dt es 1/π cm/s.
3.5.3. Máximos y Mínimos
- Los puntos críticos de una función son valores donde la derivada es cero o indefinida.
- Criterio de la primera derivada: Cambio de signo de la derivada en x = c indica un máximo local (de positivo a negativo) o un mínimo local (de negativo a positivo).
- Criterio de la segunda derivada: f'(c) = 0 y f''(c) > 0 implican un mínimo local, mientras que f'(c) = 0 y f''(c) < 0 implican un máximo local.
3.5.4. Concavidad y Puntos de Inflexión
- La segunda derivada determina la concavidad de la función.
- f''(x) > 0 indica concavidad hacia arriba, mientras que f''(x) < 0 indica concavidad hacia abajo.
- Un punto de inflexión ocurre donde cambia la concavidad (f''(x) = 0 o no existe).
3.5.5. Trazado de Curvas
- Utiliza información de la primera y segunda derivada para trazar la gráfica de una función.
- Los pasos incluyen encontrar el dominio, intersecciones, asíntotas, puntos críticos, intervalos de crecimiento/decrecimiento, concavidad y puntos de inflexión.
Matrices
Definition
- A matrix is a rectangular array (or field) of numbers (or more generally, elements of a field).
- Denoted as $A = (a_{ij}){m \times n}$ or $A = A{m,n}$, where $a_{ij} \in \mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{K}$).
- $m$: Rows
- $n$: Columns
- $a_{ij}$: Element in the $i$-th row and $j$-th column
- An $m \times n$ matrix has $m \cdot n$ elements.
Special Matrices
- Nullmatrix: $A = 0 = (0)_{m \times n}$
- Quadratische Matrix: $m = n$, $A = A_n = (a_{ij})_{n \times n}$
- Diagonal matrix: $a_{ij} = 0$ for $i \neq j$
- Einheitsmatrix: $I_n$ (Identity matrix)
- Dreiecksmatrix (Triangular matrix):
- Obere Dreiecksmatrix (Upper triangular matrix): $a_{ij} = 0$ for $i > j$
- Untere Dreiecksmatrix (Lower triangular matrix): $a_{ij} = 0$ for $i < j$
- Vektor (Vector):
- Zeilenvektor (Row vector): $m = 1$, $A = (a_{11}, \cdots, a_{1n})$
- Spaltenvektor (Column vector): $n = 1$, $A = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} \ \vdots \ a_{m1} \end{pmatrix}$
Matrix Operations
- Addition:
- If $A = (a_{ij}){m \times n}$ and $B = (b{ij}){m \times n}$, then $A + B = (a{ij} + b_{ij})_{m \times n}$
- Scalar Multiplication:
- If $A = (a_{ij}){m \times n}$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{K}$), then $\lambda \cdot A = (\lambda \cdot a{ij})_{m \times n}$
- Matrix Multiplication:
- If $A = (a_{ij}){m \times n}$ and $B = (b{jk}){n \times p}$, then $C = A \cdot B = (c{ik}){m \times p}$ with $c{ik} = \sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{ij} \cdot b_{jk}$
- $A \cdot B \neq B \cdot A$ (generally)
Algorithmic Complexity
- Algorithmic complexity measures the time (time complexity) and space (space complexity) an algorithm requires for an input of size n.
- It helps compare the efficiency of different solutions by focusing on the rate of growth.
- It is expressed using Big O notation.
Big O Notation
- O(1): Constant time (Excellent) - Number of operations is constant.
- O(log n): Logarithmic time (Great) - Number of operations increases logarithmically (e.g., Binary Search).
- O(n): Linear time (Good) - Number of operations increases linearly (e.g., printing each element in a list).
- O(n log n): Log-linear time (Fair) - Number of operations increases by n * log(n) (e.g., Merge Sort, Quick Sort).
- O(n²): Quadratic time (Bad) - Number of operations increases quadratically, as in comparing all pairs in a list.
- O(2ⁿ): Exponential time (Horrible) - Number of operations doubles as the input grows (e.g., Fibonacci recursive).
- O(n!): Factorial time (Nightmare)
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
- Example 1: For matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 \ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$.
- Eigenvalues are $\lambda_1 = 1$ and $\lambda_2 = 3$.
- Eigenvectors are $V_1 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ for $\lambda_1 = 1$ and $V_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ for $\lambda_2 = 3$.
- Diagnolization: $P = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, $D = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \ 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$, $P^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} -1/2 & 1/2 \ 1/2 & 1/2 \end{bmatrix}$,and therefore $A = PDP^{-1}$.
- Example 2: For matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0.8 & 0.3 \ 0.2 & 0.7 \end{bmatrix}$.
- Eigenvalues are $\lambda_1 = 0.5$ and $\lambda_2 = 1$.
- Eigenvectors are $V_1 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \ 1 \end{bmatrix}$ for $\lambda_1 = 0.5$ and $V_2 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \ 2 \end{bmatrix}$ for $\lambda_2 = 1$.
- Diagnolization: $P = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 3 \ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$, $D = \begin{bmatrix} 0.5 & 0 \ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$, $P^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} -2/5 & 3/5 \ 1/5 & 1/5 \end{bmatrix}$,and therefore $A = PDP^{-1}$.

Polar Form
- A complex number $z = a + bi$ or $z = r(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)$.
- $r = |z| = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ is the magnitude of z.
theta = arg(z) = arctan (b/a)
is the argument of z.
Comlex Number Operatinos
- Addition: $z_1 + z_2 = (a + c) + (b + d)i$
- Subtraction: $z_1 - z_2 = (a - c) + (b - d)i$
- Multiplication: $z_1 \cdot z_2 = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i$
- Division: $\frac{z_1}{z_2} = \frac{a + bi}{c + di} = \frac{(a + bi)(c - di)}{(c + di)(c - di)} = \frac{(ac + bd) + (bc - ad)i}{c^2 + d^2}$
- Complex Conjugate:
- Definition $\bar{z} = a - bi$
- z ⋅ z̄ = |z|² = a² + b²
- $\overline{z_1 + z_2} = \bar{z_1} + \bar{z_2}$
- $\overline{z_1 \cdot z_2} = \bar{z_1} \cdot \bar{z_2}$
Euler's Formula
- With formula of e^(iθ) = cos θ + i sin θ, the formula of a complex number can be rewritten as z = re^(iθ).
De Moivre's Theorem
- As formula of z^(n) = r^n (cos(nθ) + i sin(nθ)), using Euler's formula and any integer n, can be expressed to (re^(iθ))^n = r^n e^(inθ).
