24
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 24 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Delta (∆) Notation From The Diagram Notice that at Pt-A the Chord Slope, AB, approaches the Tangent Slope, AC, as ∆x gets smaller Also: Then → 0

BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 26 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics ∆→d Notation The Difference between ∆x & dx: ∆x ≡ a small but FINITE, or Calcuable, Difference dx ≡ an Infinitesimally small, Incalcuable, Difference ∆x is called a DIFFERENCE dx is called a Differential See the Diagram above for the a Geometric Comparison of ∆x, dx, ∆y, dy
27
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 27 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Derivative is SAME as Slope From a y = f(x) graph we see that the infinitesimal change in y resulting from an infinitesimal change in x is the Slope at the point of interest. Generally: The Quotient dy/dx is read as: DERIVATIVE “The DERIVATIVE of y with respect to x” Thus “Derivative” and “Slope” are Synonymous

29
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 29 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics d → Quantity AND Operator dy & dx (or d?) Almost Always appears as a Quotient or Ratio d/dx or (d/d?) acts as an OPERATOR that takes the Base-Function and “operates” on it to produce the Slope-Function; e.g.

BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 35 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Slope vs. Rate-of-Change In general the Rate- of-Change (RoC) is simply the Ratio, or Quotient, of Two quantities. Some Examples: Pay Rate → $/hr Speed → miles/hr Fuel Use → miles/gal Paper Use → words/page A Slope is a SPECIAL RoC where the UNITS of the Dividend and Divisor are the SAME. Example Road Grade → Feet-rise/Feet-run Tax Rate → $-Paid/$-Earned

41
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 41 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Rice is Nice Thus The RoC for D w.r.t. p at p = 500: Negative Derivative???!!! What does this mean in the context? Because the derivative is negative, at a unit price of $500 per ton, demand is decreasing by about 4,470 tons per $1/Ton INCREASE in unit price.

BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 42 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Rice is Nice SOLUTION b)Find the equation of the tangent line to D at p = 500 The tangent line to a function f is defined to be the line passing through the point and having a slope equal to the derivative at that point.
43
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 43 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Rice is Nice First, find the value of D at p = 500: So we know that the tangent line passes through the point (500, 4.47) Next, use the derivative of D for the slope of the tangent line:
44
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 44 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example Rice is Nice Finally, we use the point-slope formula for the Eqn of a Line and simplify: The Graph of D(p) and the Tangent Line at p = 500 on the Same Plot:
45
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 45 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Operation vs Ratio In the Rice Problem we could easily write D’(500) as indication we were EVALUATING the derivative at p = 500 The d notation is not so ClearCut. Are these things the SAME? Generally They are NOT The d/dx Operator Produces the Slope Function, not a NUMBER Find dy/dx at x = c DOES make a Number
46
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 46 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics “Evaluated at” Notation The d/dx operator produces the Slope Function dy/dx or df/dx; e.g.: 2x+7 is the Slope Function. It can be used to find the slope at, say, x = −5 & 4 y’(−5) = 2(−5) + 7 = −10 + 7 = −3 y’(4) = 2(4) + 7 = 8 + 7 = 5 Use Eval-At Bar to Clarify a Number- Slope when using the “d” notation
47
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 47 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Eval-At BAR To EVALUATE a derivative a specific value of the Indepent Variable Use the “Evaluated-At” Vertical BAR. Eval-At BAR Usage → Find the value of the derivative (the slope) at x = c (c is a NUMBER): Often the “x =” is Omitted
48
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 48 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Example: Eval-At bar Consider the Previous f(x) Example: Using the d notation to find the Slope (Derivative) for x = −5 & 4
49
BMayer@ChabotCollege.edu MTH15_Lec-07_sec_2-1_Differeniatation-Basics_.pptx 49 Bruce Mayer, PE Chabot College Mathematics Continuity & Smoothness We can now define a “smoothly” varying Function A function f is differentiable at x=a if f’(a) is defined. e.g.; no div by zero, no sqrt of neg No.s IF a function is differentiable at a point, then it IS continuous at that point. Note that being continuous at a point does NOT guarantee that the function is differentiable there..
