DERIVATIVE
• Recall your concept of a slope;

What happens to the graph as the
change in x approaches 0?

Example
•Find an equation of the tangent line to
the parabola y = x2
-1 at point (2,3).
Sketch the parabola and show the
segment of the tangent line at (2,3).
Find the general formula for the slope
of the tangent line of this function.
What is the slope when x = 5?

3.1 Derivative of a Function

A function is differentiable if it has a
derivative everywhere in its domain.
It must be continuous and smooth.
Functions on closed intervals must
have one-sided derivatives defined
at the end points.

To be differentiable, a function must be continuous
and smooth.

3.2 Differentiability

Most of the functions we study in calculus will be differentiable.
Differentiability

If f has a derivative at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a.
Since a function must be continuous to have a derivative,
if it has a derivative then it is continuous.

If the derivative of a function is its slope, then for a
constant function, the derivative must be zero.

Extrema of a Function
In calculus, much effort is devoted to determining the behavior of a
function f on an interval I.
Does f have a maximum value on I? Does it have a minimum value?
Where is the function increasing? Where is it decreasing?
In this chapter, you will learn how derivatives can be used to answer
these questions. You will also see why these questions are important in
real-life applications.

A function need not have a minimum or a maximum on an interval. For
instance, in Figure 3.1(a) and (b), you can see that the function f(x) = x2
+ 1
has both a minimum and a maximum on the closed interval [–1, 2], but
does not have a maximum on the open interval (–1, 2).
Figure 3.1(a) Figure 3.1(b)

Moreover, in Figure 3.1(c),
you can see that continuity
(or the lack of it) can affect the
existence of an extremum on
the interval.
This suggests the theorem below.
Figure 3.1(c)

Relative Extrema and Critical Numbers

In Figure 3.2, the graph of f(x) = x3
– 3x2
has a relative maximum
at the point (0, 0) and a relative minimum at the point (2, –4).
Informally, for a continuous function,
you can think of a relative maximum
as occurring on a “hill” on the graph,
and a relative minimum as occurring
in a “valley” on the graph.
Figure 3.2

Such a hill and valley can occur in two ways.
When the hill (or valley) is smooth and rounded, the graph has a
horizontal tangent line at the high point (or low point).
When the hill (or valley) is sharp and peaked, the graph represents
a function that is not differentiable at the high point (or low point).

Example 1 – The Value of the Derivative at Relative Extrema
Find the value of the derivative at each relative extremum
shown in Figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3

Example 1(a) – Solution
At the point (3, 2), the value of the derivative is f'(3) = 0
[see Figure 3.3(a)].
The derivative of is
Figure 3.3(a)

Example 1(b) – Solution
At x = 0, the derivative of f(x) = |x| does not exist because the following
one-sided limits differ [see Figure 3.3(b)].
cont’d
Figure 3.3(b)

Example 1(c) – Solution
The derivative of f(x) = sin x is f'(x) = cos x.
At the point (π/2, 1), the value of the
derivative is f'(π/2) = cos(π/2) = 0.
At the point (3π/2, –1), the value of the
derivative is f'(3π/2) = cos(3π/2) = 0
[see Figure 3.3(c)].
cont’d
Figure 3.3(c)

Note in Example 1 that at each relative extremum, the derivative either is
zero or does not exist. The x-values at these special points are called
critical numbers.
Figure 3.4 illustrates the two types of critical numbers.
Figure 3.4

Notice in the definition above that the critical number c has
to be in the domain of f, but c does not have to been in the
domain of f'.

Finding Extrema on a Closed Interval
Theorem 3.2 states that the relative extrema of a function
can occur only at the critical number of the function.
Knowing this, you can use the following guidelines to find
extrema on a closed interval.

Example 2 – Finding Extrema on a Closed Interval
Find the extrema of f(x) = 3x4
– 4x3
on the interval [–1, 2].
Solution:
Begin by differentiating the function.
f(x) = 3x4
– 4x3
Write original function.
f'(x) = 12x3
– 12x2
Differentiate.

Example 2 – Solution
To find the critical numbers on the interval (– 1,2), you
must find all x-values for which f'(x) = 0 and all x-values
for which f'(x) does not exist.
f'(x) = 12x3
– 12x2
= 0 Set f'(x) equal to 0.
12x2
(x– 1) = 0 Factor.
x = 0, 1 Critical numbers
Because f' is defined for all x, you can conclude that
these are the only critical numbers of f.
cont’d

By evaluating f at these two critical numbers and at the
endpoints of [–1, 2], you can determine that the
maximum is f(2) = 16 and the minimum is f(1) = –1, as
shown in the table.
Example 2 – Solution cont’d

The graph of f is shown in Figure 3.5.
Figure 3.5
Example 2 – Solution cont’d

cont’d
In Figure 3.5, note that the critical number x = 0 does not
yield a relative minimum or a relative maximum.
This tells you that the converse of Theorem 3.2 is not true.
In other words, the critical numbers of a function need not
produce relative extrema.
Example 2 – Solution

• Determine the absolute extrema for the following function and
interval[-4,2].
