The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation. The derivative is a measure of how a function changes as its input changes. Loosely speaking, a derivative can be thought of as how much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity; for example, the derivative of the position of a vehicle with respect to time is the instantaneous velocity at which the vehicle is traveling.
General formula for differentiation:
d / dx (x^n) = nx^n - 1
d / dx (constant) = 0
d / dx (Ay) = A (dy / dx)
d / dx (uv) = u (dv / dx) + v (du / dx)
d / dx (u / v) = (v (du / dx) - u (dv / dx)) / v^2
Example problems - differentiation value
Differentiation value problem 1:
Find the differentiation value of the function f(x) = 3x^5 - 5x^2 + 9x
Sol : Given function f(x) = 3x^5 - 5x^2 + 9x
Differentiate the given function with respect to x, we get
f' (x) = (3 * 5)x^4 - (2 * 5)x + 9
= 15x^4 - 10x + 9
Answer : The final answer is 15x^4 - 10x + 9
Differentiation value problem 2:
Find the differentiation value of the function f(x) = 7x^4 - 12x^3 + 12x - 76 and findf' (4).
Sol : Given function f(x) = 7x^4 - 12x^3 + 12x - 76
Differentiate the given function with respect to x, we get
f' (x) = (7 * 4)x^3 - (12 * 3)x^2 + 12 - 0
= 28x^3 - 36x^2 + 12
Substitute x = 4 in the above equation, we get
= 28 (4)^3 - 36 (4)^2 + 12
= 1228
Answer : The differentiation value is 1228
Differentiation value problem 3:
Find the differentiation value of the function f(x) = 4x^2 - 22x^3 + 56x and findf' (2).
Sol : Given function f(x) = 4x^2 - 22x^3 + 56x
Differentiate the given function with respect to x, we get
f' (x) = (4 * 2)x - (22 * 3)x^2 + 56
= 8x - 66x^2 + 56
Substitute x = 2 in the above equation, we get
= 8 (2) - 66 (2)2 + 56
= 192
Answer: The differentiation value is 192
