The process of Finding average rate of change in the
value of a variable with respective another variable is
called Derivation.
What is Differentiation/Derivative?
Notation for Derivative
Y = f (x)

 Bye ab-initio or by definition
We can find derivative of a given function by following
Methods
 By using Direct method (by rules of
derivative)

For a given function f(x), f’(x) can be found by
following four steps:-
Derivative By Definition
 Step I Find f(x+&x)
 Step II Find f(x+&x)-f(x)
 Step III Find f(x+&x)-f(x) by &x to get f(x+&x)-f(x) and simplify it.
&x
 Step IV lim f(x+&x)-f(x)
&x 0 &x

Chain Rule

• Derivative of (xn) is found by:
n ∙ xn-1
• Multiply (x) by the exponent (n) then subtract 1 from
the original exponent (n).
• Example: 1. if f(x) is x3 find f’(x).
3 ∙ x3-1
3x2 is the derivative.
Power Rule

• To find the derivative of a problem where we need
to multiply (example: (x3) (x2+2)) then we use the
product rule:
y = u・v y’ = u・v’ + v・u’
y= (x3)(x2+2) u= x3
• y’= (x3)(2x)+ (x2+2)(3x2) v= (x2+2)
u’= 3x2
v’=2x
Product Rule

For trig functions we do not use the power rule, instead
they each have their own derivative.
y y’
sin x cos x
cos x -sin x
tan x sec2x
cot x -csc2x
sec x sec x tan x
csc x -csc x cot x
Trigonometric Derivatives

We use chain rule when there is a problem usually
inside a parenthesis (then raised to a power), or under a
radical or in the denominator. We substitute this with
the letter u. so we solve the derivative for u and later
replace it for the original function.
For example: y=(x3+1)9 u=x3+1
y=(u)9 du=3x2
dy=9u8 dx
du
Chain Rule

y= ex
y’= ex ∙ d x
dx
Example: y= e2x+1
y’= e2x+1 ∙ 2
y’= 2e2x+1
