CALCULUS - SINGLE VARIABLE

[edit]

Infinitesimal

[edit]

x as infinite if it satisfies the conditions |x| > 1, |x| > 1 + 1, |x| > 1 + 1 + 1, ..., and infinitesimal if x ≠ 0 and a similar set of conditions holds for x and the reciprocals of the positive integers

Continuity and Limit

[edit]

the function has a limit L at an input p, if f(x) gets closer and closer to L as x moves closer and closer to p

continuity of by saying that an infinitesimal change in x necessarily produces an infinitesimal change in y

A function f is said to be continuous at c if it is both defined at c and its value at c equals the limit of f as x approaches c:

We have here assumed that c is a limit point of the domain of f.

The limit of this function at infinity exists


Differential Calculus

[edit]

Tangent line at (x0, f(x0)). The derivative f′(x) of a curve at a point is the slope (rise over run) of the line tangent to that curve at that point.

For every positive real number , there exists a positive real number such that, for every such that and then is defined, and

Leibniz Derivative Notation

[edit]

The first derivative of is denoted by , read as "the derivative of with respect to ".

for the -th derivative of

Lagrange Derivative Notation

[edit]

The first derivative is written as

for the th derivative of .

Newton Derivative Notation

[edit]

If is a function of , then the first and second derivatives can be written as and

Differential Operator Derivative Notation

[edit]

and higher derivatives are written with a superscript, so the -th derivative is

Derivative Example

[edit]

Let f(x) = x2 be the squaring function.

Leibniz Derivative Example

[edit]

Derivative Rules

[edit]

Differentiation is linear

[edit]

with respect to is:

  • The constant factor rule
  • The sum rule
  • The difference rule

Constant Rule

[edit]

, then

Power Rule

[edit]

Product Rule

[edit]

For the functions and , the derivative of the function with respect to is In Leibniz's notation this is written

Chain Rule

[edit]

The derivative of the function is

In Leibniz's notation, this is written as: often abridged to

If z = f(y) and y = g(x)

and

If y = f(u) and u = g(x):


Chain Rule Example

[edit]


or for short, The derivative function is therefore:

Chain Rule Higher Derivatives

[edit]

Looks like the product rule.

f(u) and u = g(x):

Quotient Rule

[edit]

The quotient rule is a consequence of the chain rule and the product rule. To see this, write the function f(x)/g(x) as the product f(x) · 1/g(x). First apply the product rule:

Inverse Functions

[edit]

y = g(x) has an inverse function. Call its inverse function f so that we have x = f(y).

Reciprocal rule

[edit]

The derivative of for any (nonvanishing) function f is:

wherever f is non-zero.

In Leibniz's notation, this is written

Derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions

[edit]
wherever f is positive.

Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions

where the functions and are both continuous in both and in some region of the plane, including , and the functions and are both continuous and both have continuous derivatives for . Then for :
