Sections 3.2-3.3

This document contains a summary of key sections from a calculus textbook for Math 130 Basic Calculus taught by Dr. Wassim Daher at Gulf University for Science and Technology. It outlines the derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions, the derivative of a product, and the derivative of a quotient. Examples are provided for each section to demonstrate how to take the derivative of different types of functions. The document is divided into 4 pages and was prepared for the GUST Summer 2019 term.

Chapter 3, Sec 3.2: Derivative of Exponential
and Logarithmic Functions

Derivative of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions


For b > 0, b 6= 1,
d x d x
e = ex b = bx ln b
dx dx
d 1 d 1 1
ln x = logb x =
dx x dx ln b x

Example
A)
5
f (x) = 3ex + 5 ln x ⇒ f 0 (x) = 3ex +
x
B)
4
f (x) = x4 − ln x4 ⇒ f 0 (x) = 4x3 −
x

Chapter3, Sec 3.3: Derivative of Product

Theorem
If
y = f (x) = F (x).S(x)
and if F 0 (x) and S 0 (x) exist, then

f 0 (x) = F 0 (x).S(x) + F (x).S 0 (x)

Example
A)
f (x) = 2x2 (3x4 − 2) ⇒ f 0 (x) = 36x5 − 8x
B)
f (x) = 2x3 ex ⇒ f 0 (x) = 2x2 ex (x + 3)
C)
f (x) = 6x4 ln x ⇒ f 0 (x) = 6x3 (1 + 4 ln x)

Chapter3, Sec 3.3: Derivative of Quotient
Theorem
If
T (x)
y = f (x) =
B(x)
and if T 0 (x) and B 0 (x) exist, then

T 0 (x).B(x) − T (x).B 0 (x)


f 0 (x) =
[B(x)]2

Example
A)
x2 2x2 − 2x
f (x) = ⇒ f 0 (x) =
2x − 1 (2x − 1)2
B)
3ex 0 3ex
f (x) = ⇒ f (x) =
1 + ex (1 + ex )2
C) f (x) = ln x
2x+5 ⇒ f 0 (x) = 2x+5−2x ln x
x(2x+5)2
