Ex.1 Using first principles, find the derivative of the function y = –cot x – x.
We find ∆y = – cot(x + ∆x) – (x + ∆x) + cot x + x = cot x – cot (x + ∆x) – ∆x.

sin(β − α ) sin( x + ∆x − x ) sin ∆x


Sol. Using the formula cot α – cot β = , we get ∆y = – ∆x = – ∆x,

Page # 6 METHOD OF DIFFERENTIATION

Remark : In using the Chain Rule we work from the outside to inside. Formula says that we differentiate
the outer function f[at the inner function f(x)] and then we multiply by the derivative of the inner
function.

Ex.4 Differentiate y = sin(x2)


Sol. 2
If y = sin(x ), then the outer function is the sine function and the inner function is the squaring
function, so the Chain Rule gives

Ex.5 If F(x) = (x2 + 2)3, compute F′(x). One way to do this problem is to expand (x2 + 2)3 and use the
differentiation formulae.
Sol. F(x) = (x2 + 2)3 = x6 + 6x4 + 12x2 + 8,
F′(x) = 6x5 + 24x3 + 24x.
Another method uses the Chain Rule. Let g and f be the functions defined, respectively, by g(x) =
x2 + 2 and f(y) = y3. Then f(g(x)) = (x2 + 2)3 = F(x), and, according to the Chain Rule,
F′(x) = [f(g(x))]′ = f′(g(x)) g′(x).
Since g′(x) = 2x and f′(y) = 3y2, we get f′(g(x)) = 3(x2 + 2)2 and
F′(x) = 3(x2 + 2)2 (2x) = 6x (x4 + 4x2 + 4),
which agrees with the alternative solution above.
dy dy du
If y = f(u) & u = g(x) then = . “ Chain Rule ”
dx du dx
Let f and g be two differentiable functions. The formation of the composite function f(g) is suggested
by writing u = g(x) and y = f(u). Thus x is transformed by g into u, and the resulting u is then
transformed by f into y = f(u) = f(g(x)). We have
du dy dy
= g′(x), = f′(x) = [f(g(x))]′
dx du dx
dy dy du
By the Chain Rule, [f(g(x))]′ = f′(g(x)) g′(x) = f′(u)g′(x), and so = . ...(1)
dx du dx
The idea that one can simply cancel out du in (1) is very appealing and accounts for the popularity of
the notation. It is important to realize that the cancellation is valid because the Chain Rule is true,
and not vice versa. Thus, du is simply a part of the notation for the derivative and means nothing by
itself. Note also that (1) is incomplete in the sense that it does not say explicitly at what points to
evaluate the derivatives. We can add this information by writing
dy dy du
(a) = (a) (a) .

C. LOGARITHMIC DIFFERENTIATION
To find the derivative of :
(i) a function which is the product or quotient of a number of functions OR
(ii) a function of the form [f(x)] where f & g are both derivable, it will be found convenient to
g(x)

take the logarithm of the function first & then differentiate. This is called Logarithmic
Differentiation.
Steps in Logarithmic Differentiation
1. Take natural logarithms of both sides of an equation y = f(x) and use the Laws of Logarithms to
simplify.
2. Differentiate both sides with respect to x.
3. Solve the resulting equation for y′.
If f(x) < 0 for some values of x, then in f(x) is not defined, but we can write |y| = |f(x)| and use

is the sum of the two special forms and therefore we may, instead of taking logarithms in any
particular example, consider first u constant and then v constant and add the results obtained on
these suppositions.

E. DIFFERENTIATION OF IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS


Assume that the equation F(x, y) = 0 specifies y as an implicit function of x. In what follows we shall
consider this function to be differentiable.
Differentiating both sides of the equation F(x, y) = 0 with respect to x, we obtain a first-degree
equation with respect to y′. This equation easily yields y′, that is, the derivative of the implicit
function.

Ex.16 Find from the equation x3 + ln y – x2ey = 0.

Sol. Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x, we obtain

Steps for Implicit Differentiation


1. Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
2. Collect all terms involving dy/dx on the left side of the equation and move all other terms to the
right side of the equation.
3. Factor dy/dx out of the left side of the equation.
4. Solve for dy/dx by dividing both sides of the equation by the left-hand factor that does not
contain dy/dx.

Ex.19 Find dy/dx if 2x2 + xy – 3y2 = x.


Sol. If we assume y is a function of x and represent it by y(x), the equation reads 2x2 + xy(x) – 3[y(x)]2 = x.

d d
Hence, [2x2 + xy(x) – 3[y(x)]2] = (x).
dx dx

d d d
Using the sum rule, we obtain (2x2) + [xy (x)] – 3 [y (x)]2 = 1. ...(1)
dx dx dx

d dy d dy d dy
By the product rule, [xy (x)] = x +y (x) = x +y ⇒ [y(x)]2 = 2y(x) .
dx dx dx dx dx dx

dy dy
Substituting these results into Formula (1), we obtain 4x + x + y – 6y = 1.
dx dx
We solve this equation for dy/dx :

dy dy dy dy 1 − 4x − y
x – 6y = 1 – 4x – y ⇒ (x – 6y) = 1 – 4x – y ⇒ = ...(2)
dx dx dx dx x − 6y
BE CAREFUL : When applying Formula (2), keep in mind that the only values of x and y that can be
substituted into the right-hand side of Formula (2) are those values that satisfy the original condition
2x 2 + xy – 3y 2 = x. for instance, we might substitute x = 1, y = 2 to obtain (dy/dx) = (1 – 4 – 2)/
(1 – 12) = 5/11; however, (1, 2) is not a point on the graph 2x2 + xy – 3y2 = x, so the calculation of dy/
dx at this point is totally meaningless.
The equation in Example can be written as – 3y2 + xy + (2x2 – x) = 0 and hence is a quadratic
equation in y (an equation of the form Ay2 + By + C = 0 where A = –3, B = x and C = 2x2 – x). Hence,
we could use the quadratic formula to solve this equation for y in terms of x, obtaining

− x ± 25x 2 − 12x
y= .
–6
Though we are able to find y explicitly in terms of x, the resulting expression is fairly complex, and it
still might be best to find dy/dx implicitly as in Example.
WARNING : It is important to realize that implicit differentiation is a technique for finding dy/dx that is
valid only if y is a differentiable function of x, and careless application of the technique can lead to
errors. For example, there is clearly no real-valued function y = f(x) that satisfies the equation x2 + y2
= –1, yet formal application of implicit differentiation yields the :derivative: dy/dx = –x/y. To be able
to evaluate this “derivative,” we must find some values for which x2 + y2 = –1. Because no such
values exist, the derivative does not exist.

H. HIGHER ORDER DERIVATIVES


Let a function y = f(x) be defined on an open interval (a, b) . It’s derivative, if it exists on (a, b) is
a certain function f ′(x) [or (dy/dx) or y ] & is called the first derivative of y w. r. t. x.
If it happens that the first derivative has a derivative on (a , b) then this derivative is called the
second derivative of y w. r. t. x & is denoted by f ′′(x) or (d2y/dx2) or y ′′ .
Once we have found the derivative f′ of any function f, we can go on and find the derivative of f′.
f ′(a + t ) − f ′(a)
f′′(a) = lim .

dx 3 dx  d x2 

It is also denoted by f ′′′(x) or y ′′′.
The third derivative, written f′′′, is the derivative of the second derivative, and, in principle, we can
go on forever and form derivatives of higher order. We adopt the alternative notation f(n) for the nth
derivative of f.
