Ch 7. Derivatives in Use
Implicit differentiation
Differentiable function where one variable is a function of the other (𝑦 = 𝑦(𝑥))
- Differentiate each side with respect to 𝑥, using the chain rule
d
[𝑥 2 + 2𝑦 2 = 6]
d𝑥
d[𝑦(𝑥)]2
= 2𝑥 + 2 ⋅ d𝑥
d𝑦 2 d𝑦
= 2𝑥 + 2 ⋅ d𝑦 ⋅ d𝑥
′
= 2𝑥 + 2 ⋅ 2𝑦 ⋅ 𝑦
- Solve for 𝑦’
Differentiating the inverse
If 𝑓 is differentiable and strictly increasing/decreasing in 𝐼, then 𝑓 has an inverse function 𝑔, which is
strictly increasing/decreasing in 𝑓(𝐼)
- Find 𝑥0 , an interior point of 𝐼, at which 𝑓(𝑥0 ) = 𝑦0
- Compute 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) and find 𝑓 ′ (𝑥0 )
1
- If 𝑓 ′ (𝑥0 ) ≠ 0, then 𝑔 has a derivative at 𝑦0 , given by 𝑔′ (𝑦0 ) =
𝑓′ (𝑥0 )

If the slope at 𝑃 is 𝑎, then the slope at 𝑄 is 𝑎

Indefinite integrals
∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 when 𝐹 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥)
Not one definite function, but a whole class of functions with the same derivative 𝑓

∫[𝑓(𝑥) + 𝑔(𝑥)]𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 + ∫ 𝑔(𝑥)𝑑𝑥
