Question: How to derive these results? Using limits

1. Derivative — using the concept of limit
f (x) − f (a)
f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a
2. Derivative — (Geometrically) Gradient (Slope) of the tangent line
3. Derivative — instantaneous rate of change of the function

m —– gradient (slope) of the line
c —– y-intercept

Straight line — find gradient
y2 − y1
gradient (slope) = m =
x2 − x1

Curve — to find gradient
gradient at A = gradient of tangent line at A

f (x) − f (a)
= f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a

Question: Why we define
f (x) − f (a)
f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a

Why we define
f (x) − f (a)
f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a
y2 − y1
gradient of line AB =
x2 − x1
f (x) − f (a)
=
x−a

gradient at A 6= gradient of line AB

Why we define
f (x) − f (a)
f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a
y2 − y1
gradient of line AB =
x2 − x1
f (x) − f (a)
=
x−a
If we choose B close to A, then
choosing B closer and closer to A is
gradient of line AB ≈ gradient of
the same as letting x approaches a.
tangent line at A
Taking limit, we have, gradient at A = lim (gradient of AB)

x→a
f (x) − f (a)
= lim
x→a x−a

f (x) − f (a)
= lim
x→a x−a
Similarly, gradient at A gives instantaneous rate of change of the function
f (x).

Derivative
Let f (x) be a function.

The derivative of f at a is defined to be
f (x) − f (a)
f 0 (a) = lim
x→a x−a
provided the limit exists.
If f 0 (a) exists, we say that f is differentiable at x = a.

If f is differentiable at any point a in the domain of f , we say that f is
differentiable.

How to Approximate the value of a function at given point?

If x ≈ a, then f (x) ≈ f (a). Is this a good approximation?
√ √
√ ≈ 100 ⇒ 101 ≈ 100 = 10.
101
101 = 10.04988 · · · . Error ≈ 0.5%.
101 ≈ 100 ⇒ 1012 ≈ 1002 = 10000.
1012 = 10201. Error ≈ 2%.
Recall: f 0 (a) is the rate of change of y = f (x) at x = a.
f (x)−f (a)
x≈a⇒ x−a
≈ f 0 (a) = dy
dx
.
x=a
f (x) ≈ f 0 (a)(x − a) + f (a).
Note that y = f 0 (a)(x − a) + f (a) is the Tangent Line of y = f (x) at
x = a.

Let y = f (x) be a function.
If x ≈ a, then f (x) ≈ f 0 (a)(x − a) + f (a).
In other words, for x near a, the value of a function at x can be
approximated by the Tangent Line of the function at a. (The nearer, the
better!)

relates the rate of change of y to rate of change of x.

Example
A conical flask, initially empty and of base radius 10 cm and vertical

height 25 cm, is being filled with water at a rate of 4 cm3 s−1 . Let h be
the height of the water t seconds later. Show that the volume V cm3 of
water at time t is given by
4πh3
V =
75
Hence, calculate the rate at which h is changing when V = 180π cm3

Example
The surface area of a sphere is decreasing at 2 cm2 s−1 . Find the rate at
which the volume sphere is changing at the instant when the surface area
is 16π cm2 .

Increasing and Decreasing Functions

Increasing functions
Let f be a function defined on an interval I.
f is increasing on I if u > v ⇒ f (u) > f (v)

Bigger x value, bigger f (x) value
y increases as x increases

Decreasing functions
Let f be a function defined on an interval I.
f is decreasing on I if u > v ⇒ f (u) < f (v)

Bigger x value, smaller f (x) value
y decreases as x increases

Question:
How to check a function f (x) is increasing/decreasing??

Pause and Think!!!
What does the sign of m tell you?
m>0 m<0
y increases as x increases y decreases as x increases

dy
What does the sign of dx tell you?
For both graphs, y is increasing.

dy
For both graphs, dx > 0.
dy
∴ y increases if dx > 0.
∴ f (x) increases if f 0 (x) > 0.

dy
What does the sign of dx tell you?
For both graphs, y is decreasing.

dy
For both graphs, dx < 0.
dy
∴ y decreases if dx < 0.
∴ f (x) decreases if f 0 (x) < 0.

Test for Increasing/Decreasing function
f 0 (x) > 0 for all values of x in I,

then f is increasing on I.
f 0 (x) < 0 for all values of x in I,

then f is decreasing on I.

f 0 (x) > 0 for all values of x in I, f 0 (x) < 0 for all values of x in I,
then f is increasing on I. then f is decreasing on I.
For x > 0, f 0 (x) = 2x > 0, f (x) is increasing

For x < 0, f 0 (x) = 2x < 0, f (x) is decreasing

Example
f (x) = 23 x3 + x2 + 2x + 1
Prove that f (x) is an increasing function.
f 0 (x) = 2x2 + 2x + 2
2 !
1 3

=2 x+ + (Completing square)
2 4
For all x, f 0 (x) > 0, f (x) is increasing

Example
f (x) = x3 (x − 1)2 .
Determine the intervals on which f (x) is increasing/decreasing.
Then f 0 (x) = x3 (2)(x − 1) + 3x2 (x − 1)2

= x2 (x − 1)(5x − 3)
Set f 0 (x) = 0, we have x = 0, 1 or 35 .

Stationary Points
dy
f has a stationary point at x = c if dx = 0 at x = c.
3 types of stationary points:
(i) local maximum point
(i) local minimum point
(i) saddle point

Suppose that f has a stationary point at x = c, i.e., f 0 (c) = 0

(i) f 0 (x) > 0 for x ∈ (a, c) and f 0 (x) < 0 for x ∈ (c, b),
then f (c) is a local maximum.
(ii) f 0 (x) < 0 for x ∈ (a, c) and f 0 (x) > 0 for x ∈ (c, b),
then f (c) is a local minimum.
Note: f 0 (x) changes sign

(i) f 0 (x) > 0 for x ∈ (a, c) and f 0 (x) < 0 for x ∈ (c, b),
then f (c) is a local maximum.
f 0 changes sign from + to − at c

(that is, f changes from increasing to decreasing at c)

(ii) f 0 (x) < 0 for x ∈ (a, c) and f 0 (x) > 0 for x ∈ (c, b),
then f (c) is a local minimum.
f 0 changes sign from − to + at c

(that is, f changes from decreasing to increasing at c)

f 0 does not change sign at c, we say that

f has a saddle point at c.

Example
(i) Find the interval(s) on which the given function is

(a) increasing
(b) decreasing
(ii) Find the stationary points and state their nature.
f (x) = 2x3 + 3x2 − 36x + 11.

Concave Upward and Concave Downward

Concavity

Concavity Test

Concavity Test
f 00 (x) > 0 concave up
f 00 (x) < 0 concave down

Concavity
f 0 (x) determines if f is increasing or decreasing.
f 00 (x) determines if f is concave up or down.
f 0 (x) > 0 f 0 (x) > 0

f 00 (x) > 0 f 00 (x) < 0

Concavity

A point c is a point of inflection of the function f if f is continuous at c
and there is an open interval containing c such that the graph of f changes
from concave up (or down) before c to concave down (or up) after c.
d2 y
At point of inflection, dx2
changes sign
Second Derivative Test for Local Extreme Values
If f 0 (c) = 0 and f 00 (c) < 0, then f has a local maximum at x = c.
If f 0 (c) = 0 and f 00 (c) > 0, then f has a local minimum at x = c.

Second Derivative Test - Note
If f 0 (c) = 0 and f 00 (c) = 0, then the test fails.
Note: In all 3 cases, y 0 (0) = y 00 (0) = 0

Example
Apply the Second Derivative Test to the function

(i) f (x) = x2 (x − 2)
(ii) g(x) = x3 (x − 2)

Example
Determine the intervals on which the function

f (x) = −2x3 + 15x2 − 24x + 7 is
(i) increasing
(ii) decreasing
(iii) concave upward
(iv) concave downward.

Applications of Maxima and Minima
Problems typically require you to

Identify and construct the function to be maximized/minimized
Find the derivative of the function and set it to ZERO
Calculate the required quantities
Perform derivative test (If the Q asks for it)

Example
ABC is a right-angled triangle with ∠B = 90◦ , AC = 34 cm and

BC = 16 cm.
Find the largest rectangle P BQR that can be inscribed in triangle ABC.

Example
The solid prism shown below has a total surface area of 450 cm3 .
Show that its volume V cm3 is given by
675
V = x − 18x3
2
Deduce the stationary value of V .
Determine whether this is a maximum or a minimum value.

Example
A rectangle is inscribed in a circle of fixed radius r as shown in the
diagram. One vertex of the rectangle has coordinates (x, y), as shown
below.
The Cartesian equation of the circle is x2 + y 2 = r2 .
Find the area of the rectangle in terms of x only. Hence, show that the
maximum area of the rectangle occurs when x = y (that is, the rectangle
is a square) and find the maximum area in terms of r.
