2. The Derivative Definition: Given a function f(x), the derivative of f with respect to x is the function f’(x) defined by The domain of this function is the set of all x- values for which the limit exists.

3. The Derivative Definition: Given a function f(x), the derivative of f with respect to x is the function f’(x) defined by The domain of this function is the set of all x- values for which the limit exists.

4. The Derivative Interpretations of f’: 1.The function f’(x) tells us the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) with respect to x for all x-values in the domain of f’(x). 2. The function f’(x) tells us the slope of the tangent to the graph of f(x) at every point (x, f(x)), provided x is in the domain of f’(x).

5. The Derivative Example: Find the derivative of and use it to calculate the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1. Sketch the curve f(x) and the tangent to the curve at (1,2).

6. The Derivative Example: Find the derivative of Sketch the graph of f(x) and the graph of f’(x).

7. Relationship between f’ and f If f is increasing on an interval (c,d): The derivative f’ is positive on (c,d). The rate of change of f is positive for all x in (c,d). The slope of the tangent is positive for all x in (c,d). If f is decreasing on an interval (c,d): The derivative f’ is negative on (c,d). The rate of change of f is negative for all x in (c,d). The slope of the tangent is negative for all x in (c,d).

8. Critical Numbers Definition: c is a critical number of f if c is in the domain of f and either f’(c)=0 or f’(c) D.N.E.

9. Differentiable Functions A function f(x) is said to be differentiable at x=a if we are able to calculate the derivative of the function at that point, i.e., f(x) is differentiable at x=a if exists.

10. Differentiable Functions Geometrically, a function is differentiable at a point if its graph has a unique tangent line with a well- defined slope at that point. 3 Ways a Function Can Fail to be Differentiable:

11. Graphs Example: (a)Sketch the graph of (b) By looking at the graph of f, sketch the graph of f’(x).

12. Relationship Between Differentiability and Continuity If f is differentiable at a, then f is continuous at a.
