Introduction to Calculus: What is Derivative and Integral

This is a topic ties everything about (functions and graphs) together.

We're mainly concerned with two parts:

1. Derivative (Differentiation)
2. Integrals (Integration)

A derivative is equal to the rate of change. Most of the time we will use $dy \over dx$ to present how one variable changes with another. The derivative is the gradient of a tangent line.

But from the beginning, we are going to talk about where do you want the derivative, the other way to say is I will give you a point and then tell me what's the derivative or gradient for that point.

From the beginning here are the concepts you need for calculus.

1. "what is the derivative at x=n" you can understand as "what is the gradient when x=n".
2. "What is the integral at x=a to x=b" you can understand as "what is the area between the function and the x-axis from x=a to x=b".

Conclusion (from the beginning )

derivative = gradient of a tangent = rate of change.

Integral = area under the function.

Differentiation

Limits

$\lim _{x\to a}f(x)=L,$

Properties of Limits

1. Sum Rule: The limit of the sum of two functions is the sum of their limits : $\lim _{x\to c}(f(x)+g(x))=\lim _{x\to c}(f(x))+\lim _{x\to c}(g(x))$
2. Difference Rule: The limit of the difference of two functions is the difference of their limits : $\lim _{x\to c}(f(x)-g(x))=\lim _{x\to c}f(x)-\lim _{x\to c}g(x)$
3. Product Rule: The limit of a product of two functions is the product of their limits : $\lim _{x\to c}(f(x)*g(x))=\lim _{x\to c}f(x)*\lim _{x\to c}g(x)$
4. Constant Multiple Rule: The limit of a constant times a function is the constant times the limit of the function :

$\lim _{x\to c}(k*g(x))=k*\lim _{x\to c}g(x)$

1. Quotient Rule: The limit of a quotient of two functions is the quotient of their limits, provided the limit of the denominator is not zero. $\lim _{x\to c}{(f(x) \over g(x))}={\lim _{x\to c}f(x) \over \lim _{x\to c}g(x)}$

Power Rule

$(cx^{n})'=c*n*x^{n-1}$

Derivative of Polynomial Functions

=Newton Derivative of Polynomial Functions=

1. The sum rule $(f+g)'=f'+g'$
2. The Difference Rule $(f-g)'=f'-g'$
3. The Product Rule $(f*g)'=f*g'+g*f'$
4. The Quotient Rule $({f \over g})'={(gf'-fg') \over g^{2}}$

=Leibniz Derivative of Polynomial Functions=

1. The sum rule ${d(f+g) \over dx}={df \over dx}+{dg \over dx}$
2. The Difference Rule ${d(f-g) \over dx}={df \over dx}-{dg \over dx}$
3. The Product Rule ${d(fg) \over dx}'=f{dg \over dx}+g{df \over dx}$
4. The Quotient Rule ${d({f \over g}) \over dx}={g{df \over dx}-f{dg \over dx} \over g^{2}}$

Derivative of Trigonometric Functions

1. $f(sinx)'=cos(x)$
2. $f(cosx)'=-sin(x)$
3. $f(tanx)'=sec^{2}(x)$
4. $f(cotx)'=-csc^{2}(x)$
5. $f(cscx)'=-csc(x)cot(x)$
6. $f(secx)'=sec(x)tan(x)$

Chain Rule

1. Newton Chain rule $[f(g(x))]'=f'(g(x))*g'(x)$
2. Leibniz Chain rule ${\frac {df(g(x))}{dx}}={{df(g)} \over dg}{dg \over dx}$

Derivatives of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions

1. Natural log of $x$ : $(ln(x))'={1 \over x}*(x)'$
2. log of $x$ : $(log_{a}x^{z})'=({lnx^{z} \over lna})'={1 \over ln_{a}}(lnx^{z})'={zx^{z-1} \over ln{a*x^{z}}}$

What is Log

1. First law If $log_{a}x=n$ than $a^{n}=x$
2. Second law $log_{n}A+log_{n}B=log_{(}AB)$
3. Thirde law $log_{A}-log_{B}=log_{(}{A \over B})$
4. law If "${log_{x}}^{log_{x}}={log_{x}}^{2}=n$" than "${log_{x}}={\sqrt[{2}]{n}}$"
5. law if $log_{(}x^{n})={log_{x}}^{n}=n*{log_{x}}$
6. law "$log_{n}(x)={log_{n}(a)}$" than "x = a"

The Exponential Function

1. Exponential $e=1+1+{1 \over 2!}+{1 \over 3!}+{1 \over 4!}+{1 \over 5!}+{1 \over 6!}+{1 \over 7!}....$
2. Exponential Function $e^{x}=1+x+{x^{2} \over 2!}+{x^{3} \over 3!}+{x^{4} \over 4!}+{x^{5} \over 5!}+{x^{6} \over 6!}+{x^{7} \over 7!}...$
3. Exponential Function $(e^{x})'=e^{x}$

so when every you meet Exponential just reminds yourself it will not be changed by the derivatives.

Higher Derivatives

1. Second derivatives $f''(x)=(f'(x))'$

Newton Higher Derivatives

1. function$f(x)$
2. first derivative $f'(x)$
3. Second derivatives $f''(x)=(f'(x))'$
4. Third derivatives $f'''(x)=(f''(x))'$
5. 4th derivatives $f^{(4)}(x)=(f'''(x))'$

Leibniz Higher Derivatives

2. first derivative ${dy} \over {dx}$
3. second derivatives ${d^{2}}y \over {dx^{2}}$
4. third derivatives ${d^{3}}y \over {dx^{3}}$
5. 4th derivatives ${d^{4}}y \over {dx^{4}}$

Why do we need Higher Derivatives

From the zero derivative to sixth derivative there is a meaning on the graph

1. No derivative function $f(x)$ = Position
2. first derivative $f'(x)$ = Velocity
3. second derivative $f''(x)$ = Acceleration
4. third derivative $f'''(x)$ = Jerk
5. fourth derivative $f^{(4)}(x)$ = Snap
6. fifth derivative $f^{(5)}(x)$ = crackle/flounce
7. sixth derivative $f^{(6)}(x)$ = Pop

How to finding Local Maxima and Minima by Differentiation

Our example will be : $f(x)=x^{3}-12x+1$ And the graph will be the one at the side.

Then we will need to use the derivatives to find the two-point that has 0 slopes we will also call it Local maxima and Local minima

$f'(x)=3x^{2}-12$

$f'(x)=3x^{2}-12$

$3x^{2}=12$

$x^{2}=4$

Then we get x=2 and x=-2 so then we put them into the function.

$f(x)=2^{3}-(12*2)+1=-15$

$f(x)=-2^{3}-(12*-2)+1=17$

so the first point will be local maxima it will be at (-2,17) and then local minima (2,-15).

Graphing Functions and Their Derivatives

1. When a first derivative is positive, the original function is increasing.
2. When a first derivative is negative, the original function is decreasing.
   1. The derivative does not tell us if the function is positive or negative, only if increasing or decreasing.
3. When a second derivative is positive, the original function is concave up.
4. When a second derivative is negative, the original function is concave down.
5. When a first derivative hits zero from below the axis, the original function is at a(n) local minimum.
6. When a second derivative is zero, the original function is at a(n) inflection point.

Limits and L'Hospital's Rule

1. L'Hospital's Rule 1 ${\textstyle \lim _{x\to 0}{f(x) \over g(x)}=lim_{x\to 0}{f'(x) \over g'(x)}}$
2. L'Hospital's Rule 2 ${\textstyle \lim _{x\to \infty }{f(x) \over g(x)}=lim_{x\to \infty }{f'(x) \over g'(x)}}$

Integration

$\int _{a}^{b}(f(x)-g(x))\,dx,$

Kinematics

Kinematics is a type of physics

Kinematics is a physics topic taking about how describes the motion of points, objects without considering the forces that cause them to move. In Kinematics we will use calculus a lot of times, by using calculus can be a kind of transformation of the graph.

So it will be required Higher Derivatives and Integration.

derivative and integration

1. $s(t)=$ displacement (m)
2. first derivative $s'(t)=a(t)=$ velocity (m/s)
3. second derivative $s''(t)=v(t)=$ acceleration
4. third derivative $s'''=s(t)=$ time (second or s )

Same integration

1. no integration $t=$ time (second or s )
2. first integration of t $a(t)=$ acceleration
3. second integration of t $v(t)=$ velocity (m/s
4. third integration of t $s(t)=$ displacement (m)

Using Integration to calculate volume

This time we will start to learn how to use integration to calculate the volume.

Now we will start with a function:

$f(x)={\sqrt {x}}$

We will start to calculate the volume of the function when the function rotates 360 degrees on the x-axis.

It will never leave the x-axis, and then it will form a 3-dimensional volume. We will call this solid of revolution because we obtain it by revolving a region about a line.

$f(x)={\sqrt {x}}$ $\int _{0}^{1}A(x)dx$

so the radius of a circle will be r and $r={\sqrt {x}}$

and we can think of it as the volume is made of many disks and it will form this volume.

So the area of the disk will be like this $A=\pi r^{2}$

$r={\sqrt {x}}$

$r^{2}=x$

so

$A=\pi {({\sqrt {x}})}^{2}$

$A(x)=\pi x$

so what we will get this

$\int _{0}^{1}\pi xdx$

so $\pi$ is a constant so we can pull it out

$\pi \int _{0}^{1}xdx$
