Derivatives

DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
What is Derivatives
• Differential Calculus is the study of rate of change of
functions using the tools of limits and derivatives.
• Differentiation is the algebraic method of finding the
derivative for a function at any point
• Derivative describes the rate of change of a certain thing.
This also describes the behavior of the tangent lines to a
graph which can tell what the shape of that graph is.

The Derivatives
Consider the function
To obtain the derivative of a given function, follow the
procedure below.
1. For the function , add to and to . (Δ or delta, called
increment)

2. Substitute the value of in 1 to the value to the value of in
2. Transpose the value of y to the other side obtaining the
formula of Δy in terms of x and Δx.

3. Perform the suitable algebraic transformation (combine
fractions and rationalize and simplify.
4. From equation 3, write the quotientby dividing both sides
of the equation by
