UNIT - I
DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS I
Introduction:
The mathematical study of change like motion, growth or decay is calculus. The Rate of change of
given function is derivative or differential.
The concept of derivative is essential in day to day life. Also applicable in Engineering, Science,
Economics, Medicine etc.

Successive Differentiation:
Let y = f (x) --(1) be a real valued function.
dy
The first order derivative of y denoted by
or y or y1 or 1
dx 2
The Second order derivative of y denoted by d yor y or y2 or 2
dx 2
Similarly differentiating the function (1) n-times, successively,
dny
th
the n order derivative of y exists denoted by n or yn or yn or n
dx
The process of finding 2nd and higher order derivatives is known as Successive Differentiation.

nth derivative of some standard functions:

Sol :

y = eax
y1 = a eax
y2 = a2 eax

Differentiating Successively

Leibnitzs Theorem :
It provides a useful formula for computing the nth derivative of a product of two functions.
Statement : If u and v are any two functions of x with un and vn as their nth derivative. Then the nth
derivative of uv is

(uv)n = u0vn + nC1 u1vn-1 + nC2u2vn-2 + +nCn-1un-1v1+unv0


Note : We can interchange u & v (uv)n = (vu)n,
nC =
1

n , nC2 = n(n-1) /2! , nC3= n(n-1)(n-2) /3!

Find the nth derivations of eax cos(bx + c)


Solution: y1 = eax b sin (bx +c) + a eax cos (b x + c), by product rule.
.i.e, y1 = eax [a cos (bx + c ) b sin (bx + c )]
Let us put a = r cos , and b = r sin .

a 2 + b 2 = r 2 and tan = b / a
.ie., r = a 2 + b 2 and = tan-1 (b/a)
Now, y1 = e ax [r cos cos(bx + c) r sin sin( bx + c)]
Ie., y1 = r eax cos ( + bx + c )
where we have used the formula cos A cos B sin A sin B = cos (A + B)
Differentiating again and simplifying as before,
y2 = r2 eax cos (2 + bx + c ) .
Similarly y3 = r3 e ax cos (3 + bx + c ) .

Thus y n = r n e ax cos(n + bx + c )
Where r = a 2 + b 2 and = tan-1 (b/a).
Thus Dn [eax cos (b x + c)]

= ( a 2 + b 2 ) n e ax cos n tan 1 (b / a ) + bx + c

x2
(2x + 1)(2x + 3)

x2
is an improper fraction because; the degree of the
(2x + 1)(2x + 3)

numerator being 2 is equal to the degree of the denominator. Hence we must divide and
rewrite the fraction.

The algebraic fraction involved is a proper fraction.

A
B
=

(2x + 1)(2x + 3) 2x + 1 2x + 3

Multiplying by (2x + 1) (2x + 3) we have, 8x + 3 = A (2x + 3) + B (2x + 1)


................(1)
By setting 2x + 1 = 0, 2x + 3 = 0 we get x = -1/2, x = -3/2.
Put x = -1/2 in (1): -1 -1 + A (2) A = -1/2
Put x = -3/2 in (1): -9 = B (-2) B = 9/2

(deg of nr. = 4 > deg. of dr. = 2)


On dividing x4 by x2 + 3 x + 2, We get

y = ( x2 3x + 7 ) + 2

x + 3x + 2

15 x 14
yn = Dn (x2-3x+7)-Dn 2

x + 3x + 2

But D = ( x2 3x + 7 ) = 2x 3, D2 ( x2 3x + 7 ) = 2
D3( x2 3x + 7 ) = 0......... Dn ( x2 3x + 7 ) = 0 if n > 2

15 x + 14
Hence yn = -Dn

( x + 1) ( x + 2)
Now, let Dn

x + 3x + 2 ( x + 1) ( x + 2)

=> 15x+ 14 = A(x+2) + B(x+ 1 )


Put x = - 1 ; - 1 = A ( 1 ) or A = - 1
Put x = - 2 ; - 16 = B ( - 1 ) or B = 16

Continuity & Differentiability


Some Fundamental Definitions

A function f (x) is defined in the interval I, then it is said to be continuous at a point x = a


f ( x) = f (a)
if lim
xa
f ( x + h) f (a)
= f '(a) exists
a I
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable at x = a if lim
h0
h
Ex : Consider a function f (x) is defined in the interval [-1,1] by f (x) =

x
x =
x

1 x 0
0 x 1

It is continuous at x = 0
But not differentiable at x = 0
Note : If a function f (x) is differentiable then it is continuous, but converse need not be true.
Geometrically :
(1) If f (x) is Continuous at x =a means, f (x) has no breaks or jumps at the point x = a
Ex :

1
f (x) =
x

1 x 0
0 < x 1

Is discontinuous at x=0
(2) If f (x) is differentiable at x = a means, the graph of f (x) has a unique tangent at the point or graph
is smooth at x = a
1. Give the definitions of Continuity & Differentiability:
Solution: A function f (x) is said to be continuous at x = a, if corresponding to an arbitrary positive
number , however small, their exists another positive number such that.
f (x) f (a) < , where x - a <
It is clear from the above definition that a function f (x) is continuous at a point a.
If (i) it exists at x = a

Differentiability:
A function f (x) is said to be differentiable in the interval (a, b), if it is differentiable at
every point in the interval.
In Case [a,b] the function should posses derivatives at every point and at the end points a & b i.e., Rf1
(a) and Lf1 (a) exists.
2. State Rolles Theorem with Geometric Interpretation.
Statement: Let f (x) be a function is defined on [a,b] & it satisfies the following Conditions.
(i)

f (x) is continuous in [a,b]

(ii)

f (x) is differentiable in (a,b)

(iii)
f (a) = f (b)
Then there exists at least a point C (a,b), Here a < b such that f1 ( c ) = 0
Proof:

Let us consider the graph of the function y = f (x) in xy plane. A (a,.f(a)) and
B (b, f( b ) ) be the two points in the curve f (x) and a, b are the corresponding end points of A & B
respectively. Now, explained the conditions of Rolles theorem as follows.
(i)

f (x) is continuous function in [a,b], Because from figure without breaks or jumps in
between A & B on y = f (x).

(ii)

f (x) is a differentiable in (a,b), that means let us joining the points A & B, we
get a line AB.

Slope of the line AB = 0 then a point C at P and also the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) is
Parallel to x axis.
Slope of the tangent at P (or Q or R or S) to be Zero even the curve y = f (x) decreases or
increases, i.e., f (x) is Constant.

f1 (x) = 0
f1 (c) = 0
(iii) The Slope of the line AB is equal to Zero, i.e., the line AB is parallel to x axis.
f (a) = f (b)
3. Verify Rolles Theorem for the function f (x) = x2 4x + 8 in the internal [1,3]
Solution: We know that every Poly nominal is continuous and differentiable for all points and hence f
(x) is continuous and differentiable in the internal [1,3].
Also f (1) = 1 4 + 8 = 5, f (3) = 32 43 + 8 = 5
Hence f (1) = f (3)
Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolles Theorem. Now f1 (x) = 2x 4 and f1 (x) = 0
2x 4 = 0 or x = 2. Clearly 1 < 2 < 3. Hence there exists 2t (1,3) such that f1 (2) = 0. This shows
that Rolles Theorem holds good for the given function f (x) in the given interval.
4. Verify Rolles Theorem for the function f (x) = x (x + 3) e

in the interval [-3, 0]

Solution: Differentiating the given function W.r.t x we get

f 1 ( x) = ( x 2 + 3 x) e 2 + (2 x + 3)e 2
2
1
x
= ( x 2 x 6) e 2
2
1
f (x) exists (i.e finite) for all x and hence continuous for all x.

Also f (-3) = 0, f (0) = 0 so that f (-3) = f (0) so that f (-3) = f (0). Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of
the Rolles Theorem.
Now, f1 (x) = 0
1
x
( x 2 x 6) e 2 = 0
2
Solving this equation we get x = 3 or x = -2

Clearly 3 < -2 < 0. Hence there exists 2 (-3,0) such that f1 (-2) = 0
This proves that Rolles Theorem is true for the given function.

Verify the Rolles Theorem for the function Sin x in [-, ]

Solution: Let f (x) = Sin x


Clearly Sinx is continuous for all x.
Also f1 (x) = Cos x exists for all x in (-, ) and f (-) = Sin (-) = 0; f () = Sin () = 0 so that f (-) = f
()
Thus f (x) satisfies all the conditions of the Rolles Theorem .
Now f1 (x) = 0 Cos x = 0 so that
X=

Both these values lie in (-,). These exists C =

Such that ( c ) = 0

Hence Rolles theorem is vertified.


6. Discuss the applicability of Rolles Theorem for the function f (x) = x in [-1,1].
Solution: Now f (x) = x=

x for 0 x 1
-x for 1 x 0

f (x) being a linear function is continuous for all x in [-1, 1]. f(x) is differentiable for all x in (1,1) except at x = 0. Therefore Rolles Theorem does not hold good for the function f (x) in [-1,1].
Graph of this function is shown in figure. From which we observe that we cannot draw a tangent to the
curve at any point in (-1,1) parallel to the x axis.

Where A is a Constant to be determined.

i.e., A =

Further g (a) = g (b), because of the choice oif A.


Thus g (x) satisfies the conditions of the Rolles Theorem.
These exists a value x = c sothat a < c < b at which g1 ( c ) = 0
Differentiate (1) W.r.t x we get

Solution: Clearly given function is continuous in [0,4] and differentiable in (0,4), because f (x) is in
polynomial.
f (x) = (x 1) (x 2) (x 3)
f (x) = x3 6x2 + 11x 6
and f (0) = 03 6(0)2 + 11 (0) 6 = -6
f(4) = 43 6 (4)2 + 11 (4) 6 = 6

Proof: The ratio of the increments of two functions called Cauchys Theorem.
Statement: Let g (x) and f (x) be two functions of x such that,
(i) Both f (x) and g (x) are continuous in [a,b]
(ii) Both f (x) and g (x) are differentiable in (a,b)
(iii) g1 (x) 0 for any x (a,b)
These three exists at least are value x = c (a,b) at which

f 1 (c) f (b) f (a)


=
g 1 (c) g (b) g (a )
Proof: Define a function,
(x) = f (x) A. g (x)

------------------ (1)

So that (a) = (b) and A is a Constant to be determined.


Now, (a) = f (a) A g (a)
(b) = f (b) A. g (b)
f (a) A g (a) = f (b) A. g (b)
f (b) f (b)

Now, is continuous in [a,b] as r.h.s of (1) is continuous in [a,b] and (x) is differentiable in
(a,b) as r.h.s of (1) is differentiable in [a,b].
Also (a) = (b)
Hence all the conditions of Rolles Theorem are satisfied then there exists a value x = c (a,b)
such that 1 ( c ) = 0.
Now, Differentiating (1) W.r.t x, we get

Both f (x) and g (x) are Polynomial in x. Hence they are continuous and differentiable for all x
and in particular in [1,3]
Now, f1 (x) = 2x, g1 (x) = 3x2
Also g 1 (x) 0 for all x (1,3)

Polar Curves
If we traverse in a hill section where the road is not straight, we often see caution boards hairpin
bend ahead, sharp bend ahead etc. This gives an indication of the difference in the amount of bending
of a road at various points which is the curvature at various points. In this chapter we discuss about the
curvature, radius of curvature etc.
Consider a point P in the xy-Plane.
r = length of OP= radial distance
= Polar angle
( r, ) Polar co-ordinates
Let r = f () be the polar curve

( x)

r = x2 + y2 , = tan1 y

(1)

x = r Cos y = r Sin
Relation (1) enables us to find the polar co-ordinates
( r, ) when the Cartesian co-ordinates ( x, y) are known.
Expression for arc length in Cartesian form.
Proof: Let P (x,y) and Q (x + x, Y + y) be two neighboring points on the graph of the
function y = f (x). So that they are at length S and S + s measured from a fixed
point A on the curve.
Y = f (x)

Arc PQ = S
From le PQR, we have
[Chord PQ]2 = PR2 + QR2
[Chord PQ]2 = (x)2 + (y)2 ( from figure)
When Q is very close to point P, the length of arc PQ is equal to the length of Chord PQ.
i.e arc PQ = Chord PQ = s

angle of intersection = 1 - 2 = /2 + /2 - /2 = /2
Hence the curves intersect orthogonally.
2. S.T. the curves

Solution :

r = a (1 + sin ) & r = a (1 - sin )

cut each other orthogonally

log r = log a + log (1 + sin ) : log r = log a + log (1 sin )


Differentiating these w.r.t we get

ie.,

cot 1 =

We have tan 1 =

log r = log (sin + cos ) :

r = 2 sin
log r = log 2 + log (sin )

Differentiating these w.r.t we get

ie.,

cot 1 =

1 dr cos

cot 2 = cot 2 =

ie., cot 1 = cot (/4 + ) 1 = /4 +

4. Find the angle of the curves: r = a log and r = a/ log

tan 2 = log
tan 2 = - log

2 log
2 log
=
1 + tan 1 tan 2 1 ( log )2

......(1)

We have to find by solving the given pair of equations :

r = a log and r = a/log


Equating the R.H.S we have a log =

a
log

ie., (log = 1 )2 = 1 or log = e


Substituting = e in (1) we get
tan (1 2 ) =

5. Find the angle of intersection of the curves:


r = a (1 cos ) and r = 2a cos
Solution : r = a (1 cos )

r = 2a cos

Taking logarithms we have,


Log r = log a + log (1 cos )

log r = log 2a + log (cos )

Differentiating these w.r.t , we get,

cot 2 = cot (/2 + )

1 = /2

2 = /2 +

1 2 = /2 - /2 -

= / 2 + 2

(1)

Now consider r = a (1 - cos ) = 2a cos


Or

3 cos = 1 or = cos -1 (1/3)

Substituting this value in (1) we get,


The angle of intersection / 2 + 1/2 . cos -1 (1/3)
6. Find the angle of intersection of the curves :

Also by equating the R.H.S of the given equations we have


a = a/ or 2 = 1 = 1

When = 1, tan 1 = 1, tan 2 = - 1 and


When = - 1, tan 1 = - 1, tan 2 = 1 .
tan 1 . tan 2 = - 1 1 - 2 = /2

7. Find the pedal equation of the curve: r (1 - cos ) = 2a

cot =

= - cot (/2 )
2 sin 2 (/2 )

ie., cot = cot (- /2 ) = - ( /2 )


Consider p = r sin
p = r sin (- /2 ) or p = - r sin ( /2 )

Now we have, r (1 - cos ) = 2a


p = - r sin ( /2 )

(1)
(2)

We have to eliminate from (1) and (2)


(1) can be put in form r . 2 sin 2 ( / 2 ) = 2a
ie., r sin 2 (/2 ) = a
But p/-r = sin (/2), from (2)
p2
r 2 = a or p 2 = ar
r

Thus p2 = ar is the required pedal equation.


8. Find the pedal equation of the curve: r2 = a2 sec 2

Consider p = r sin p = r sin ( /2 - 2 ) ie., p = r cos 2


Now we have, r 2 = a 2 sec 2

(1)

p = r cos 2

(2)

From (2) p/r = cos 2 or r/p = sec 2


Substituting in (1) we get,

r 2 = a 2 (r/p )

or pr = a2

Thus pr = a2 is the required pedal equation.


9. Find the pedal equation of the curve: rn = an cos n
Solution : rn = an cos n
n log r = n log a + log (cos n )

Differentiating w.r.t q we get

=
ie.,
r d
cos n
r d
cot = cot ( /2 + n ) = /2 + n

Consider p = r sin
p = r sin ( /2 = n ) ie., p = r cos n

Now we have, r n = a n cos n

p = r cos n

(1)
(2)

(1) as a consequenc e of (2) is r n = a n (p/r )

Thus rn + 1 = pan is the required pedal equation.


10. Find the pedal equation of the curve: rm = am (cos m + sin m)
Solution : rm = am (cos m + sin m)
Differentiating w.r.t , we get,
m dr - m sin m + m cos m
=
cos m + sin m
r d

ie.,

cos m (1 - tan m )
1 dr cos m - sin m
=
=

Consider p = r sin
p = r sin ( /4 + m )

ie., p = r [sin ( /4 ) cos m + cos (/4 ) sin m ]


ie., p =

r
(cos m + sin m )
2

(we have used the formula of sin (A + B) and also the values sin (/4 ) = cos (/4 ) = 1/ 2
Now we have, r m = a m (cos m + sin m )
p=

(1)

r
(cos m + sin m )
2

(2)

Using (2) in (1) we get,


rm = am .

p 2
or r m +1 = 2 a m p
r

Thus r m + 1 = 2 a m p is the required pedal equation.


11. Establish the pedal equation of the curve:

r n = a n sin n + b n cos n in the form p 2 a 2n + b 2 n = r 2 n + 2

Solution : We have r n = a n sin n + b n cos n

n log r = log a n sin n + b n cos n

Differentiating w.r.t we get


n dr na n cos n - nb n sin n
= n
r d
a sin n + b n cos n
a n cos n - b n sin n
Dividing by n, cot = n
a sin n + b n cos n

DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS III

PARTIAL DIFFERENTIATION
Introduction :Partial differential equations abound in all branches of science and engineering and
many areas of business. The number of applications is endless.
Partial derivatives have many important uses in math and science. We shall see
that a partial derivative is not much more or less than a particular sort of directional
derivative. The only trick is to have a reliable way of specifying directions ... so most of
this note is concerned with formalizing the idea of direction
So far, we had been dealing with functions of a single independent variable. We will now
consider functions which depend on more than one independent variable; Such
functions are called functions of several variables.

Geometrical Meaning
Suppose the graph of z = f (x,y) is the
surface shown. Consider the partial
derivative of f with respect to x at a point
(x0, y0). Holding y constant and varying x,
we trace out a curve that is the intersection
of the surface with the vertical plane y = y0.
The partial derivative fx(x0,y0). measures
the change in z per unit increase in x along
this curve. That is, fx(x0, y0) is just the slope
of the curve at (x0, y0). The geometrical
interpretation of fy(x0, y0). is analogous.

Real-World Applications:
Rates of Change:
In the Java applet we saw how the concept of partial derivative could be applied
geometrically to find the slope of the surface in the x and y directions. In the following
two examples we present partial derivatives as rates of change. Specifically we explore
an application to a temperature function ( this example does have a geometric aspect in
terms of the physical model itself) and a second application to electrical circuits, where
no geometry is involved.
I. Temperature on a Metal Plate
The screen capture below shows a current website illustrating thermal flow for chemical
engineering. Our first application will deal with a similar flat plate where temperature
varies with position.
* The example following the picture below is taken from the current text in SM221,223:
Multivariable Calculus by James Stewart.

10 MAT11

Suppose we have a flat metal plate where the temperature at a point (x,y) varies
according to position. In particular, let the temperature at a point (x,y) be given by,

T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2
where T is measured in oC and x and y in meters.
Question: what is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point
(2,1) in (a) the x-direction? and (b) in the y-direction ?
Let's take (a) first.
What is the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (2,1) in
(a) the x-direction?
What observations and translations can we make here?
Rate of change of temperature indicates that we will be computing a type of derivative.
Since the temperature function is defined on two variables we will be computing a partial
derivative. Since the question asks for the rate of change in the x-direction, we will be
holding y constant. Thus, our question now becomes:
What is dT dxat the point (2,1)?
T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) 1
T
T

x
x

= 60(2 x)(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) 2
(2,1) = 60(4)(1 + 4 + 1) 2 = 20

Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the x-direction at (2,1) is 20 3 degrees
per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !

87

Dr. V. Lokesha

2011

Part (b):
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is computed in a similar
manner.

T ( x, y ) = 60 /1 + x 2 + y 2 = 60(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) 1
T
T

x
x

= 60(2 y )(1 + x 2 + y 2 ) 2
(2,1) = 60(2)(1 + 4 + 1) 2 = 10

Conclusion :
The rate of change of temperature in the y-direction at (2,1) is 10 degrees
3

per meter;
note this means that the temperature is decreasing !

II. Electrical Circuits: Changes in Current


The following is adapted from an example in a former text for SM221,223 Multivariable
Calculus by Bradley and Smith.
* In an electrical circuit with electromotive force (EMF) of E volts and resistance R ohms,
the current, I, is
I=E/R amperes.
Question: (a) At the instant when E=120 and R=15 , what is the rate of change of
current with respect to voltage.
(b) What is the rate of change of current with respect to resistance?

(a) Even though no geometry is involved in this example, the rate of change questions
can be answered with partial derivatives.
we first note that I is a function of E and R, namely,
I(E,R) = ER-1
10 MAT11
88

Engineering Mathematics I

Dr. V. Lokesha

2011

The rate of change of current with respect to voltage =


the partial derivative of I with respect to voltage, holding resistance constant is
I

= R 1

when E=120 and R=15 , we have I E = 15 1 0.0667


verbal conclusion : If the resistance is fixed at 15 ohms, the current is increasing with
respect to voltage at the rate of 0.0667 amperes per volt when the EMF is 120 volts.
Part (b):
What is the rate of change of current with respect to

resistance?

Using similar observations to part (a) we conclude:


The partial derivative of I with respect to resistance, holding voltage constant = I E = ER 1
when E=120 and R=15 , we have I E (120,15) = 120(15)1 0.5333
Conclusion : If the EMF is fixed at 120 volts, the current is decreasing with respect to
resistance at the rate of 0.5333 amperes per ohm when the resistance is 15 ohms.

The partial derivative of z w.r.t y is given by

Maxima and Minima:In mathematics, the maximum and minimum (plural: maxima and minima) of a
function, known collectively as extrema (singular: extremum), are the largest and
smallest value that the function takes at a point within a given neighborhood.
A function f (x, y) is said to have a Maximum value at (a,b) if their exists a

Working Procedure:

First we find Stationary points by considering


fx =0 and fy =0 .

Function will be minimum if AC-B2 > 0 and A > 0 at that


stationary point
Function will be maximum if AC-B2 > 0 and A < 0 at that
stationary point
Function will be neither maximum nor minimum if AC-B2 < 0
at that stationary point and it is called as SADDLE POINT.

Definition:

The function Z = f (x,y) is said to posses a minimum at the point (a,b) if f (x,y) > f
(a,b) in the neighborhood of the point (a,b)
Necessary Condition for Maxima, Minima:

If Z = f (x,y) has a max or min at (a,b) then f x (a,b) = 0, fy (a,b) = 0


Sufficient Conditions for Maxima, Minima:
Put R = fxx (a,b), S = fxy (a,b), T = fyy (a,b)
(1) Suppose S2 RT > 0

There is no maxima or minima at (a,b)


(2) Suppose S2 RT < 0
Thus there is maxima or minima at (a,b) according as R < 0 Or R > 0
(3) Suppose S2 RT = 0, Then there is a saddle point at (a,b)
