Differentiwtiom Flashcards
How to differentiate
Ultiply by power, subtract 1
3x = 3
3 = 0
Why?
3x0 basically so becomes 0
So yh
If they say find equation of tangent on curve what to do
If normal?
Find gradient using differentiation sub in
2) normal grsdient is perpendicular so do thst then use known points
What is an increasing or decreasing fucntion
When the grsdien is positive value of y is going up so increasing
When grsdient is negative value of y is going down so decreasing
So when grad >0 it’s increasing
Grad <0 it’s decreasing
What are turning slash stationary poitns and maximum minimum imf,ectiom
Turning and stationary points is where the gradient ism0
Maximum is when the graidient is going from positive to 0 to negative
Min is negative tom0 to positive
Inflection is positive 0 positive or negative 0 negative
How to draw gradient fucntion graoh
Basically stationary points are roots
And where grsdient is increasing, it has to just be positive on graoh and where gradient is decreasing just have to be negative that’s it
Remmeber for negative and fractions
Same rule, negative means get SMALLER
If second derivative negative
Posit be
But if it is 0, you just check ing method
Maximum
Else minimum
Because it is increasing rate of gradient
Differentiate from fire torincipled
A point x, with function &(x) will have y coordinate f(x)
Now imagine point very close to x , x+( and y will be same as before
Basically to find an estimate of grsdient at xounfind avergwe grsdient between two values really close
And as h tends tpm0, this value gets more and more accurate the closer tom0 it is
Thatshow to fo
MAKE SURE COORDINATES ARE CLEAR OTHERWISE YOU GINNA SHB IN BITH X INSTEAD OF X AND Y LMAO
