UNIT 3 – DERIVATIVE OF ALGEBRAIC FUNCTION ALGEBRAIC FUNCTION An algebraic function is one formed by a finite number of algebraic operations on constants and/or variables. These algebraic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to powers, and extracting roots. Polynomial and rational functions are particular kinds of algebraic functions. Polynomial function is defined by f x   an x n  an1 x n1  an2 x n2 ...  a1 x  a0  Where a0 , a1 ,..., an are real numbers a n  0 and  is a non-negative integer. Function f is a polynomial function of degree n. Rational function is a function that can be expressed as a quotient of two polynomial functions. x 1 x 2  25 Example 1. f x   2 Example 2. hx   x 4 x3 DIFFERENTIATION FORMULAS OF ALGEBRAIC FUNCTIONS The following differentiation formulas were derived using the Increment Method of differentiation.
