Functions
Exponents (Powers)
• Given 𝒏 a positive integer and 𝒂 a real number,
𝒂 𝒏
indicates that 𝒂 is multiplied by itself 𝒏 times:
𝒂 𝒏
= 𝒂 × 𝒂 × ⋯ × 𝒂
𝒏 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔
• According to definition:
𝒂 𝟎
= 𝟏 and 𝒂 𝟏
= 𝒂
Exponents Rules
 If 𝒎 and 𝒏 are positive integers and 𝒂 is a real
number, then:
𝒂 𝒎
× 𝒂 𝒏
= 𝒂 𝒎+𝒏
With this rule we can define the concept of negative
exponent (power):
𝑎0
= 1
𝑎 𝑚−𝑚
= 1
𝑎 𝑚+(−𝑚)
= 1
𝑎 𝑚
× 𝑎−𝑚
= 1

• We can also define rational power as:

𝒏 =

𝒂 𝒎
Some other rules are: (𝒂 and 𝒃 are real numbers)

𝒂 𝒎
𝒂 𝒏 = 𝒂 𝒎−𝒏
e.g.(
311
38 = 311−8
= 33
= 27)
 𝒂 𝒎 𝒏

Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Identities
• An algebraic expression is a combination of real numbers
and variables, such as:
Monomials :
5𝑥3
, −1.75
𝑦 ,
3𝑥
4𝑧2
=
3

Polynomials:

Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Identities
• Equations can be made when two expressions are equal to
one another or an expression is equal to a number:
3𝑥 − 1 = 𝑥
4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 2
5𝑥2 − 2𝑥𝑦 = 𝑥 − 6𝑦2
𝑥2 − 3𝑥 − 6 = 0
The first and second equations are linear with one and two
variables respectively and the third equation is a quadratic in
terms of 𝒙 and 𝒚 and the forth equation is a quadratic
equation in terms of 𝒙 .
Note: Not all equations are solvable and many of them have
no unique solutions.
Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Identities
• If two expressions are equal for all values of their
variable(s), the equation is called an identity.
• For example;
𝑥 + 3 2 = 𝑥2 + 6𝑥 + 9
 Some important identities are:
• 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝟐 = 𝒂 𝟐 ± 𝟐𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃 𝟐
• 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝟑
= 𝒂 𝟑
± 𝟑𝒂 𝟐
𝒃 + 𝟑𝒂𝒃 𝟐
± 𝒃 𝟑
• 𝒂 − 𝒃 𝒂 + 𝒃 = 𝒂 𝟐 − 𝒃 𝟐
• 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝒂 𝟐
∓ 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃 𝟐
= 𝒂 𝟑
± 𝒃 𝟑
• 𝒙 ± 𝒂 𝒙 ± 𝒃 = 𝒙 𝟐 ± 𝒂 + 𝒃 𝒙 + 𝒂𝒃

Some Other Identities
Functions
• All equations represent a relationship between two or
more variables, e.g.:
𝑥𝑦 = 1 ,
𝑥
2𝑦
+ 𝑧 = 0
• Given two variables in relation, there is a functional
relationship between them if for each value of one of
them there is one and only one value of another.
• If the relationship between 𝒚 and 𝒙 can be shown by 𝒚 =
𝒇 𝒙 and for each value of 𝒙 there is one and only one
value of 𝒚 , then there is a functional relationship
between them or alternatively it can be said that 𝒚 is a
function of 𝒙 , which means 𝒚 as a dependent variable
follows 𝒙 as an independent variable.
Functions
• The idea of function is close to a processing (matching)
machine. It receives inputs (which are the values of 𝒙 and is
called domain of the function, 𝑫 𝒇) and after the processing
them the output will be values of 𝒚 in correspondence with
𝒙′
𝒔 (which is called range of the function, 𝑹 𝒇).
• There should be no element from 𝑫 𝒇 without a match from
𝑹 𝒇, but it might be found some free elements in 𝑹 𝒇.
𝒇 = 𝒙 𝟏, 𝒚 𝟏 , 𝒙 𝟐, 𝒚 𝟐 , … , 𝒙 𝒏, 𝒚 𝒏
𝒇
𝒙 𝟏, 𝒙 𝟐, … , 𝒙 𝒏 𝒚 𝟏, 𝒚 𝟐, … , 𝒚 𝒏
Functions
• Functions can be considered as correspondence
(matching) rules, which corresponds all elements of
𝒙 to some elements of 𝒚.*
• For example, the correspondence rule (f), which
corresponds 𝒙 to each value of 𝒙, can be written
as:
Or 𝑦 = 𝑥

• The correspondence rule, which corresponds

x y
Functions
• Some correspondence rules indicate there is a relationship
between 𝒙 and 𝒚 but not a functional relationship, i.e.
the relationship cannot be considered as a function.
• For example, 𝒚 = ± 𝒙 (𝒚 𝟐 = 𝒙) is
not a function (according to the
definition of function) because
for each value of 𝒙 there are
two symmetrical values of 𝒚 .

Functions
• Note that in the graphical representation of a
function, any parallel line with y-axis cross the graph
of a function at one and only one point. Why?

Adoptedfromhttp://www.docstoc.com/docs/41284635/Graphs-of-the-Six-Trigonometric-
Functions
• All trigonometric functions are periodic, i.e. after adding or
subtracting a constant, which is called principal periodic constant,
they repeat themselves. This periodic constant is 𝟐𝝅 for 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙
and 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙 but it is 𝝅 for 𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒙 and 𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒙 , i.e. :
(k is a positive integer)
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 = sin 𝑥 ± 𝟐𝝅 = sin 𝑥 ± 4𝜋 = ⋯ = sin 𝑥 ± 2𝑘𝜋
𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 = cos 𝑥 ± 𝟐𝝅 = cos 𝑥 ± 4𝜋 = ⋯ = cos 𝑥 ± 2𝑘𝜋
𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑥 = tan 𝑥 ± 𝝅 = tan 𝑥 ± 2𝜋 = ⋯ = tan(𝑥 ± 𝑘𝜋)
𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑥 = cot 𝑥 ± 𝝅 = cot 𝑥 ± 2𝜋 = ⋯ = cot(𝑥 ± 𝑘𝜋)
Some Basic Functions
Elementary Functions
• Elementary functions can be made by combining
basic functions through adding, subtracting,
multiplying, dividing and also composing these
basic functions.
• For example:
𝑦 = 𝑥2
+ 4𝑥 − 1
𝑦 = 𝑥. 𝑒−𝑥
=
𝑥
𝑒 𝑥
𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
𝑦 = ln 𝑥2 + 4
𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥
(𝑠𝑖𝑛3𝑥 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠3𝑥)
Behaviour of a Function
• After finding the relationship between two variables 𝒙
and 𝒚 in the functional form 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) the first question is
how this function behaves.
• Here we are interested in knowing about the magnitude
and the direction of the change of 𝒚 (𝑖. 𝑒. ∆𝒚) when the
change of 𝒙 (𝑖. 𝑒. ∆𝒙) is getting smaller and smaller around
a point in its domain. The technical term for this locality
around a point is neighbourhood. So, we are trying to find
the magnitude and the direction of the change of 𝒚 in the
neighbourhood of 𝒙.
• Slope of a function is the concept which helps us to have
this information. The value of the slope shows the
magnitude of the change and the sign of slope shows the
direction of the change.
Slope of a Linear Function
• Let’s start with one of the most used functions in
science , which is the linear function:
𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒉
Where 𝒎 shows the slope of the line (the average change
of 𝒚 in terms of a change in 𝒙). That is; 𝒎 =
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
= 𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜶 .
The value of intercept is 𝒉 which is the distance between the
intersection point of the graph and y-axis from the Origin.
The slope of a liner
function is constant in its
whole domain.

Slope of a Function in its General Form
• Imagine we want to find the slope of the function 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙)
at a specific point (for e.g. at 𝒙 𝟎) in its domain.
• Given a change of
𝒙 from 𝒙 𝟎 to 𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙
the change of 𝒚
Would be from 𝒇 𝒙 𝟎
to 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙) .
• This means a
movement along the
curve from A to B. Adopted from http://www.bymath.com/studyguide/ana/sec/ana3.htm
Slope of a Function in its General Form
• The average change of 𝒚 in terms of a change in 𝒙
can be calculated by
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
= 𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜶 , which is the
slope of the line AB.
• If the change in 𝒙 gradually disappear (∆𝒙 → 𝟎)*,
point B moves toward point A and the slope line
(secant line) AB reaches to a limiting (marginal)
situation AC, which is a tangent line on the curve
of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) at point 𝑨(𝒙 𝟎, 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎)).
Slope of a Function in its General Form
• The slope of this tangent line AC is what is called derivative
of 𝒚 in terms of 𝒙 at point 𝑥0 and it is shown by different
symbols such as
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥 𝑥=𝑥0
, 𝑓′
𝑥0 ,
𝑑𝑓
𝑑𝑥 𝑥=𝑥0
, 𝑦′
(𝑥0) , .
• The slope of the tangent line at any point of the domain of
the function is denoted by:
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
, 𝑓′ 𝑥 ,
𝑑𝑓
𝑑𝑥
, 𝑦′, 𝑓𝑥
′
• Definition: The process of finding a derivative of a function
is called differentiation .

Slope of a Function in its General Form
• Therefore, the derivative of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙)at any point in its
domain is:
𝒚′ =
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
= 𝒍𝒊𝒎
∆𝒙→𝟎
∆𝒚
∆𝒙
= 𝒍𝒊𝒎
∆𝒙→𝟎
𝒇 𝒙+∆𝒙 −𝒇(𝒙)
∆𝒙
And the derivative of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) at the specific point 𝒙 = 𝒙 𝟎
is:
𝒇′ 𝒙 𝟎 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦
∆𝒙→𝟎
𝒇 𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙 − 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎)
∆𝒙
Where 𝐥𝐢𝐦 stands for “limit”, showing limiting (marginal)
situation of the ratio
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
.
Slope of a Function in its General Form
• Note: For non-linear functions, slope of the function at
any point depends on the value of that point and it is not
constant in the whole domain of the function. This
means that the derivative of a function is a function of
the same variable itself.

Derivative of Fundamental Basic Functions
• Find the derivative of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 1 at any point in
its domain.
𝑓 𝑥 = 2𝑥 − 1
𝑓 𝑥 + ∆𝑥 = 2 𝑥 + ∆𝑥 − 1 = 2𝑥 + 2∆𝑥 − 1
∆𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 + ∆𝒙 − 𝒇 𝒙 = 𝟐∆𝒙

Differentiability of a Function
A function is differentiable at a point if despite any
side approach to the point in its domain (from left or
right) the derivative is the same and a finite number.
Sharp corner points and points of discontinuity* are
not differentiable.

Rules of Differentiation
• If 𝒇(𝒙) and 𝒈 𝒙 are two differentiable functions in their
common domain, then:
 𝒇(𝒙) ± 𝒈(𝒙) ′ = 𝒇′(𝒙) ± 𝒈′(𝒙)

• The last rule(page 32) is called the chain rule which should
be applied for composite functions such as the above
functions, but it can be extended to include more
functions.
• If 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒖 and 𝒖 = 𝒈 𝒛 and 𝒛 = 𝒉 𝒍 and 𝒍 = 𝒌(𝒙)
then 𝒚 depends on 𝒙 but through some other variables
𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒈 𝒉 𝒌 𝒙

• Under such circumstances we can extend the chain rule
to cover all these functions, i.e.

Rules of Differentiation
Implicit Differentiation
• 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 is an explicit function because the dependent
variable 𝒚 is at one side and explicitly expressed by
independent variable 𝒙. Implicit form of this function can
be shown by 𝑭 𝒙, 𝒚 = 𝟎 where both variables are in one
side:
o Explicit Functions: 𝑦 = 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 , 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥. 𝑙𝑛𝑥 , 𝑦 =
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
𝑥
o Implicit Functions: 2𝑥 − 7𝑦 + 3 = 0 , 2 𝑥𝑦 − 𝑦2 = 0
• Many implicit functions can be easily transformed to an
explicit function but it cannot be done for all. In this case,
differentiation with respect to 𝒙 can be done part by part
and 𝒚 should be treated as a function of 𝒙.
o Find the derivative of 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟕𝒚 + 𝟑 = 𝟎.
Differentiating both sides with respect to 𝒙, we have:

o Find the derivative of 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟐𝒙𝒚 + 𝒚 𝟑 = 𝟎.
Using the same method, we have:

• As 𝒚′ = 𝒇′(𝒙) is itself a function of 𝒙 , in case it is differentiable,
we can think of second, third or even n-th derivatives:

Higher Orders Derivatives
First & Second Order Differentials
• If 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) is differentiable on an interval then at any point of that
interval the derivative of 𝒇 can be defined as:
𝒚′
= 𝒇′
𝒙 =
𝒅𝒚
𝒅𝒙
= 𝐥𝐢𝐦
∆𝒙→𝟎
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
• This means when 𝚫𝒙 becomes “infinitesimal” (getting smaller
infinitely; ∆𝒙 → 𝟎), the ratio
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
approaches to the derivative of the
function, i.e. the difference between
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
and 𝒇′ 𝒙 is infinitesimal
itself and ignorable:
𝚫𝒚
𝚫𝒙
≈ 𝒇′
𝒙 𝒐𝒓 ∆𝒚 ≈ 𝒇′
𝒙 . ∆𝒙
• 𝒇′ 𝒙 . ∆𝒙 is called “ differential of 𝒚 ” and is shown by 𝒅𝒚, so:
∆𝒚 ≈ 𝒇′ 𝒙 . ∆𝒙 = 𝒅𝒚
As ∆𝒙 is an independent increment of 𝒙 we can always assume that
𝒅𝒙 = ∆𝒙; so we can re-write the above as ∆𝒚 ≈ 𝒇′
𝒙 . 𝒅𝒙 = 𝒅𝒚
• The geometric interpretation of 𝒅𝒚 and ∆𝒚 :
∆𝒚 represents the change in height of the curve and 𝒅𝒚 represents the
change in height of the tangent line when ∆𝒙 changes (see the graph)
Adopted fromhttp://www.cliffsnotes.com/math/calculus/calculus/applications-of-the-
derivative/differentials
So: 𝒅𝒚 = 𝒚′. 𝒅𝒙
Some rules:
If 𝒖 and 𝒗 are differentiable functions, then:
i. 𝒅 𝒄𝒖 = 𝒄. 𝒅𝒖 (c is constant)
ii. 𝒅 𝒖 ± 𝒗 = 𝒅𝒖 ± 𝒅𝒗 (can be extended
to more than two functions)
iii. 𝒅 𝒖. 𝒗 = 𝒗. 𝒅𝒖 + 𝒖. 𝒅𝒗 (extendable)
iv. 𝒅
𝒖
𝒗
=
𝒗.𝒅𝒖−𝒖.𝒅𝒗
𝒗 𝟐
First & Second Order Differentials
• Using the third rule of differentials, the second order differential of
𝒚 can be calculated, i.e. :
𝒅 𝟐
𝒚 = 𝒅 𝒅𝒚 = 𝒅 𝒚′
. 𝒅𝒙
= 𝒅𝒚′. 𝒅𝒙 + 𝒚′. 𝒅 𝒅𝒙
= 𝒚′′. 𝒅𝒙. 𝒅𝒙 + 𝒚′. 𝒅 𝟐 𝒙
= 𝒚′′. 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 + 𝒚′. 𝒅 𝟐 𝒙
As 𝒙 is not dependent on another variable and 𝒅𝒙 is a constant :
𝒅 𝟐 𝒙 = 𝒅 𝒅𝒙 = 𝟎
So, 𝒅 𝟐 𝒚 = 𝒚′′. 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 = 𝒚′′. 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 (or in the familiar form 𝒚′′ =
𝒅 𝟐 𝒚
𝒅𝒙 𝟐 )
Where 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 = 𝒅𝒙 𝟐 is always positive and the sign of 𝒅 𝟐 𝒚 depends
on the sign of 𝒚′′.
• Applying the same method we have 𝒅 𝒏 𝒚 = 𝒚(𝒏). 𝒅𝒙 𝒏 .
First & Second Order Differentials
Derivative and Optimisation of Functions
• Function 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 is said to be an increasing function at
𝒙 = 𝒂 if at any small neighbourhood (∆𝒙) of that point:
𝑎 + ∆𝑥 > 𝑎 ↔ 𝑓 𝑎 + ∆𝑥 > 𝑓 𝑎
From the above inequality we can conclude that:
𝑓 𝑎+∆𝑥 −𝑓(𝑎)
∆𝑥
≈ 𝑓′(𝑎) > 0
So, the function is increasing
at 𝒙=𝒂 if 𝒇′(𝒂)>𝟎 , and
decreasing if 𝒇′(𝒂)<𝟎 .
Adopted from http://portal.tpu.ru/SHARED/k/KONVAL/Sites/English_sites/calculus/3_Geometric_f.htm
a a
• More generally, the function 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) is increasing
(decreasing) in an interval if at any point in that interval
𝒇′ 𝒙 > 𝟎 ( 𝒇′ 𝒙 < 𝟎 ).
Derivative and Optimisation of Functions
Adopted from http://www.webgraphing.com/polynomialdefs.jsp
Derivative and Optimisation of Functions
• If the sign of 𝒇′
(𝒙) is changing when passing a point such as 𝒙 =
𝒂 (from negative to positive or vice versa) and 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) is
differentiable at that point, It is very logical to think that 𝒇′
(𝒙)
at that point should be zero, i.e. : 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎. (in this case the
tangent line is horizontal)
• This point is called local (relative) maximum or local (relative)
minimum. In some books it is called critical point or extremum point.
http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~jmahaffy/courses/s00a/math121/lectures/graph_deriv/diffgraph.html
Not an extremum or critical point
• If 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎 but the sign of 𝒇′(𝒙) does not change when passing
the point 𝒙 = 𝒂, the point (𝒂, 𝒇 𝒂 ) is not a extremum or critical
point (point C in the previous slide).
• For a function which is differentiable in its domain(or part of that),
a sign change of 𝒇′
when passing a point is a sufficient evidence of
the point being a extremum point. Therefore, at that point 𝒇′(𝒙)
will be necessarily zero.

• If a function is not differentiable at a point (see the graph, point
x=c) but the sign of 𝒇′ changes, it is sufficient to say the point is a
extremum point despite non-existence of 𝒇′(𝒙) .
Necessary and Sufficient Conditions
Adopted from http://www.nabla.hr/Z_IntermediateAlgebraIntroductionToFunctCont_3.htm
𝒇′
(𝒄) is not defined as it goes to infinity
These types of critical
points cannot be
obtained through
solving the equation
𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟎 as they are
not differentiable at
these points.
Second Derivative Test
• Apart from the sign change of 𝒇′
(𝒙) there is another test to
distinguish between extremums. This test is suitable for those
functions which are differentiable at least twice at the critical points.
• Assume that 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎; so, the point (𝒂, 𝒇 𝒂 ) is suspicious to be a
maximum or minimum. If 𝒇′′ 𝒂 > 𝟎, the point is a minimum point
and if 𝒇′′ 𝒂 < 𝟎, the point is a maximum point.

Inflection Point & Concavity of Function
• If 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎 and at the same time 𝒇′′ 𝒂 = 𝟎, we need other tests
to find out the nature of the point. It could be a extremum point
[e.g. 𝒚 = 𝒙 𝟒
, which has minimum at 𝒙 = 𝟎]or just an inflection
point (where the tangent line crosses the graph of the function and
separate that to two parts; concave up and concave down)

Some Examples
o Find extremums of 𝒚 = 𝒙 𝟑 − 𝟑𝒙 𝟐 + 𝟐, if any.
To find the points which could be our extremums (critical points) we
need to find the roots of this equation: 𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟎,
So, 𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 = 𝟎 → 𝟑𝒙 𝒙 − 𝟐 = 𝟎
→ 𝒙 = 𝟎, 𝒙 = 𝟐
Two points 𝑨(𝟎, 𝟐) and 𝑩(𝟐, −𝟐) are possible extremums.
Sufficient condition(1st method): As the sign of 𝒚′ = 𝒇′(𝒙) changes
while passing through the points there is a maximum and a minimum.

Some Examples
• Sufficient condition (2nd method): we need to find the sign of 𝒇′′(𝒙)
at those critical points:
𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟔𝒙 − 𝟔
𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟎 = −𝟔 → 𝑨 𝟎, 𝟐 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒎𝒖𝒎
𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟐 = 𝟔 → 𝑩 𝟐, −𝟐 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒖𝒎
o Find the extremum(s) of 𝒚 = 𝟏 −
𝟑
𝒙 𝟐, if any.
𝒚′ =
−𝟐
𝟑 𝟑
𝒙
Although 𝒚′ cannot be zero but its sign changes when passing through
𝒙 = 𝟎, so the function has a maximum at point 𝑨(𝟎, 𝟏). The second
method of the sufficient condition cannot be used here. Why?

  • 3. Exponents Rules  If 𝒎 and 𝒏 are positive integers and 𝒂 is a real number, then: 𝒂 𝒎 × 𝒂 𝒏 = 𝒂 𝒎+𝒏 With this rule we can define the concept of negative exponent (power): 𝑎0 = 1 𝑎 𝑚−𝑚 = 1 𝑎 𝑚+(−𝑚) = 1 𝑎 𝑚 × 𝑎−𝑚 = 1 𝒂−𝒎 = 𝟏 𝒂 𝒎

  • 6. Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Identities • Equations can be made when two expressions are equal to one another or an expression is equal to a number: 3𝑥 − 1 = 𝑥 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 2 5𝑥2 − 2𝑥𝑦 = 𝑥 − 6𝑦2 𝑥2 − 3𝑥 − 6 = 0 The first and second equations are linear with one and two variables respectively and the third equation is a quadratic in terms of 𝒙 and 𝒚 and the forth equation is a quadratic equation in terms of 𝒙 . Note: Not all equations are solvable and many of them have no unique solutions.
  • 7. Algebraic Expressions, Equations and Identities • If two expressions are equal for all values of their variable(s), the equation is called an identity. • For example; 𝑥 + 3 2 = 𝑥2 + 6𝑥 + 9  Some important identities are: • 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝟐 = 𝒂 𝟐 ± 𝟐𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃 𝟐 • 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝟑 = 𝒂 𝟑 ± 𝟑𝒂 𝟐 𝒃 + 𝟑𝒂𝒃 𝟐 ± 𝒃 𝟑 • 𝒂 − 𝒃 𝒂 + 𝒃 = 𝒂 𝟐 − 𝒃 𝟐 • 𝒂 ± 𝒃 𝒂 𝟐 ∓ 𝒂𝒃 + 𝒃 𝟐 = 𝒂 𝟑 ± 𝒃 𝟑 • 𝒙 ± 𝒂 𝒙 ± 𝒃 = 𝒙 𝟐 ± 𝒂 + 𝒃 𝒙 + 𝒂𝒃

  • 10. Functions • All equations represent a relationship between two or more variables, e.g.: 𝑥𝑦 = 1 , 𝑥 2𝑦 + 𝑧 = 0 • Given two variables in relation, there is a functional relationship between them if for each value of one of them there is one and only one value of another. • If the relationship between 𝒚 and 𝒙 can be shown by 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 and for each value of 𝒙 there is one and only one value of 𝒚 , then there is a functional relationship between them or alternatively it can be said that 𝒚 is a function of 𝒙 , which means 𝒚 as a dependent variable follows 𝒙 as an independent variable.
  • 11. Functions • The idea of function is close to a processing (matching) machine. It receives inputs (which are the values of 𝒙 and is called domain of the function, 𝑫 𝒇) and after the processing them the output will be values of 𝒚 in correspondence with 𝒙′ 𝒔 (which is called range of the function, 𝑹 𝒇). • There should be no element from 𝑫 𝒇 without a match from 𝑹 𝒇, but it might be found some free elements in 𝑹 𝒇. 𝒇 = 𝒙 𝟏, 𝒚 𝟏 , 𝒙 𝟐, 𝒚 𝟐 , … , 𝒙 𝒏, 𝒚 𝒏 𝒇 𝒙 𝟏, 𝒙 𝟐, … , 𝒙 𝒏 𝒚 𝟏, 𝒚 𝟐, … , 𝒚 𝒏
  • 12. Functions • Functions can be considered as correspondence (matching) rules, which corresponds all elements of 𝒙 to some elements of 𝒚.* • For example, the correspondence rule (f), which corresponds 𝒙 to each value of 𝒙, can be written as: Or 𝑦 = 𝑥 xxf : 1 2 4 15 1 𝟐 2 𝟏𝟓 20 x y
  • 13. Functions • The correspondence rule, which corresponds 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟎 to each value of 𝒙 can be shown as: Or 𝒚 = 𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟏𝟎 10: 2 xxg  -3 -2 0 2 3 -1 -6 -10 x y
  • 14. Functions • Some correspondence rules indicate there is a relationship between 𝒙 and 𝒚 but not a functional relationship, i.e. the relationship cannot be considered as a function. • For example, 𝒚 = ± 𝒙 (𝒚 𝟐 = 𝒙) is not a function (according to the definition of function) because for each value of 𝒙 there are two symmetrical values of 𝒚 .

  • 20. • All trigonometric functions are periodic, i.e. after adding or subtracting a constant, which is called principal periodic constant, they repeat themselves. This periodic constant is 𝟐𝝅 for 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒙 and 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒙 but it is 𝝅 for 𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒙 and 𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒙 , i.e. : (k is a positive integer) 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 = sin 𝑥 ± 𝟐𝝅 = sin 𝑥 ± 4𝜋 = ⋯ = sin 𝑥 ± 2𝑘𝜋 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥 = cos 𝑥 ± 𝟐𝝅 = cos 𝑥 ± 4𝜋 = ⋯ = cos 𝑥 ± 2𝑘𝜋 𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑥 = tan 𝑥 ± 𝝅 = tan 𝑥 ± 2𝜋 = ⋯ = tan(𝑥 ± 𝑘𝜋) 𝑐𝑜𝑡𝑥 = cot 𝑥 ± 𝝅 = cot 𝑥 ± 2𝜋 = ⋯ = cot(𝑥 ± 𝑘𝜋) Some Basic Functions
  • 21. Elementary Functions • Elementary functions can be made by combining basic functions through adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing and also composing these basic functions. • For example: 𝑦 = 𝑥2 + 4𝑥 − 1 𝑦 = 𝑥. 𝑒−𝑥 = 𝑥 𝑒 𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 𝑦 = ln 𝑥2 + 4 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 (𝑠𝑖𝑛3𝑥 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠3𝑥)
  • 22. Behaviour of a Function • After finding the relationship between two variables 𝒙 and 𝒚 in the functional form 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) the first question is how this function behaves. • Here we are interested in knowing about the magnitude and the direction of the change of 𝒚 (𝑖. 𝑒. ∆𝒚) when the change of 𝒙 (𝑖. 𝑒. ∆𝒙) is getting smaller and smaller around a point in its domain. The technical term for this locality around a point is neighbourhood. So, we are trying to find the magnitude and the direction of the change of 𝒚 in the neighbourhood of 𝒙. • Slope of a function is the concept which helps us to have this information. The value of the slope shows the magnitude of the change and the sign of slope shows the direction of the change.
  • 23. Slope of a Linear Function • Let’s start with one of the most used functions in science , which is the linear function: 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒉 Where 𝒎 shows the slope of the line (the average change of 𝒚 in terms of a change in 𝒙). That is; 𝒎 = 𝚫𝒚 𝚫𝒙 = 𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜶 . The value of intercept is 𝒉 which is the distance between the intersection point of the graph and y-axis from the Origin. The slope of a liner function is constant in its whole domain. y x h 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒉 ∆𝒙 ∆𝒚 𝜶 𝜶
  • 24. Slope of a Function in its General Form • Imagine we want to find the slope of the function 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) at a specific point (for e.g. at 𝒙 𝟎) in its domain. • Given a change of 𝒙 from 𝒙 𝟎 to 𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙 the change of 𝒚 Would be from 𝒇 𝒙 𝟎 to 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙) . • This means a movement along the curve from A to B. Adopted from http://www.bymath.com/studyguide/ana/sec/ana3.htm
  • 25. Slope of a Function in its General Form • The average change of 𝒚 in terms of a change in 𝒙 can be calculated by 𝚫𝒚 𝚫𝒙 = 𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝜶 , which is the slope of the line AB. • If the change in 𝒙 gradually disappear (∆𝒙 → 𝟎)*, point B moves toward point A and the slope line (secant line) AB reaches to a limiting (marginal) situation AC, which is a tangent line on the curve of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) at point 𝑨(𝒙 𝟎, 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎)).
  • 26. Slope of a Function in its General Form • The slope of this tangent line AC is what is called derivative of 𝒚 in terms of 𝒙 at point 𝑥0 and it is shown by different symbols such as 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥 𝑥=𝑥0 , 𝑓′ 𝑥0 , 𝑑𝑓 𝑑𝑥 𝑥=𝑥0 , 𝑦′ (𝑥0) , . • The slope of the tangent line at any point of the domain of the function is denoted by: 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥 , 𝑓′ 𝑥 , 𝑑𝑓 𝑑𝑥 , 𝑦′, 𝑓𝑥 ′ • Definition: The process of finding a derivative of a function is called differentiation . ' 0xf
  • 27. Slope of a Function in its General Form • Therefore, the derivative of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙)at any point in its domain is: 𝒚′ = 𝒅𝒚 𝒅𝒙 = 𝒍𝒊𝒎 ∆𝒙→𝟎 ∆𝒚 ∆𝒙 = 𝒍𝒊𝒎 ∆𝒙→𝟎 𝒇 𝒙+∆𝒙 −𝒇(𝒙) ∆𝒙 And the derivative of 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) at the specific point 𝒙 = 𝒙 𝟎 is: 𝒇′ 𝒙 𝟎 = 𝐥𝐢𝐦 ∆𝒙→𝟎 𝒇 𝒙 𝟎 + ∆𝒙 − 𝒇(𝒙 𝟎) ∆𝒙 Where 𝐥𝐢𝐦 stands for “limit”, showing limiting (marginal) situation of the ratio 𝚫𝒚 𝚫𝒙 .
  • 28. Slope of a Function in its General Form • Note: For non-linear functions, slope of the function at any point depends on the value of that point and it is not constant in the whole domain of the function. This means that the derivative of a function is a function of the same variable itself.

  • 38. Implicit Differentiation • 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 is an explicit function because the dependent variable 𝒚 is at one side and explicitly expressed by independent variable 𝒙.

In this case, differentiation with respect to 𝒙 can be done part by part and 𝒚 should be treated as a function of 𝒙.

Derivative and Optimisation of Functions • Function 𝒚 = 𝒇 𝒙 is said to be an increasing function at 𝒙 = 𝒂 if at any small neighbourhood (∆𝒙) of that point: 𝑎 + ∆𝑥 > 𝑎 ↔ 𝑓 𝑎 + ∆𝑥 > 𝑓 𝑎 From the above inequality we can conclude that: 𝑓 𝑎+∆𝑥 −𝑓(𝑎) ∆𝑥 ≈ 𝑓′(𝑎) > 0 So, the function is increasing at 𝒙=𝒂 if 𝒇′(𝒂)>𝟎 , and decreasing if 𝒇′(𝒂)<𝟎 .

  • 48. Derivative and Optimisation of Functions • If the sign of 𝒇′ (𝒙) is changing when passing a point such as 𝒙 = 𝒂 (from negative to positive or vice versa) and 𝒚 = 𝒇(𝒙) is differentiable at that point, It is very logical to think that 𝒇′ (𝒙) at that point should be zero, i.e. : 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎. (in this case the tangent line is horizontal) • This point is called local (relative) maximum or local (relative) minimum. In some books it is called critical point or extremum point. http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~jmahaffy/courses/s00a/math121/lectures/graph_deriv/diffgraph.html Not an extremum or critical point
  • 49. • If 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎 but the sign of 𝒇′(𝒙) does not change when passing the point 𝒙 = 𝒂, the point (𝒂, 𝒇 𝒂 ) is not a extremum or critical point (point C in the previous slide). • For a function which is differentiable in its domain(or part of that), a sign change of 𝒇′ when passing a point is a sufficient evidence of the point being a extremum point. Therefore, at that point 𝒇′(𝒙) will be necessarily zero.

  • 50. • If a function is not differentiable at a point (see the graph, point x=c) but the sign of 𝒇′ changes, it is sufficient to say the point is a extremum point despite non-existence of 𝒇′(𝒙) . Necessary and Sufficient Conditions Adopted from http://www.nabla.hr/Z_IntermediateAlgebraIntroductionToFunctCont_3.htm 𝒇′ (𝒄) is not defined as it goes to infinity These types of critical points cannot be obtained through solving the equation 𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟎 as they are not differentiable at these points.
  • 51. Second Derivative Test • Apart from the sign change of 𝒇′ (𝒙) there is another test to distinguish between extremums. This test is suitable for those functions which are differentiable at least twice at the critical points. • Assume that 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎; so, the point (𝒂, 𝒇 𝒂 ) is suspicious to be a maximum or minimum. If 𝒇′′ 𝒂 > 𝟎, the point is a minimum point and if 𝒇′′ 𝒂 < 𝟎, the point is a maximum point.

  • 52. Inflection Point & Concavity of Function • If 𝒇′ 𝒂 = 𝟎 and at the same time 𝒇′′ 𝒂 = 𝟎, we need other tests to find out the nature of the point. It could be a extremum point [e.g. 𝒚 = 𝒙 𝟒 , which has minimum at 𝒙 = 𝟎]or just an inflection point (where the tangent line crosses the graph of the function and separate that to two parts; concave up and concave down) Adopted and altered from http://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/courses/105/curvesketching/SECTST.HTM Adopted from http://www.sparkle.pro.br/tutorial/geometry 𝑓′′ 𝑥 = 0 𝑓′ 𝑥 > 0 Concave Down Concave up
  • 53. Some Examples o Find extremums of 𝒚 = 𝒙 𝟑 − 𝟑𝒙 𝟐 + 𝟐, if any. To find the points which could be our extremums (critical points) we need to find the roots of this equation: 𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟎, So, 𝒇′ 𝒙 = 𝟑𝒙 𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 = 𝟎 → 𝟑𝒙 𝒙 − 𝟐 = 𝟎 → 𝒙 = 𝟎, 𝒙 = 𝟐 Two points 𝑨(𝟎, 𝟐) and 𝑩(𝟐, −𝟐) are possible extremums. Sufficient condition(1st method): As the sign of 𝒚′ = 𝒇′(𝒙) changes while passing through the points there is a maximum and a minimum. 𝒙 −∞ +∞ 𝑦′ + − + 𝑦 0 2 2 -2 Max Min
  • 54. Some Examples • Sufficient condition (2nd method): we need to find the sign of 𝒇′′(𝒙) at those critical points: 𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟔𝒙 − 𝟔 𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟎 = −𝟔 → 𝑨 𝟎, 𝟐 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒎𝒖𝒎 𝒇′′ 𝒙 = 𝟐 = 𝟔 → 𝑩 𝟐, −𝟐 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒖𝒎 o Find the extremum(s) of 𝒚 = 𝟏 − 𝟑 𝒙 𝟐, if any. 𝒚′ = −𝟐 𝟑 𝟑 𝒙 Although 𝒚′ cannot be zero but its sign changes when passing through 𝒙 = 𝟎, so the function has a maximum at point 𝑨(𝟎, 𝟏). The second method of the sufficient condition cannot be used here. Why? 𝒙 −∞ +∞ 𝑦′ + 𝑦 0 1 Max
