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.

 

 

 

 


Differential Calculus

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.

Derivative Rules

Differentiation is linear

  with respect to   is:  

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

 

Constant Rule

 , then  

Power Rule

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

  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
