Derivatives(Rates of Change)
The Derivative as a Function
DefinitionThe derivative of a function f at a number a, denoted by f ′(a), isdefined by
f ′(a) = limh→0
f (a + h)− f (a)
hif this limit exists and it is finite.
We define a new function, the derivative of f :
DefinitionLet f (x) be a function. We define the derivative of f , denoted by f ′, by
f ′(x) = limh→0
f (x + h)− f (x)
h.
The domain of f ′(x) are those values x where the limit exists and it isfinite.
Álvaro Lozano-Robledo (UConn) MATH 1131Q - Calculus 1 7 / 30
Differentiability
DefinitionA function f (x) is continuous at a number a if
1 f (x) is defined at x = a, i.e., f (a) is well-defined,
2 limx→a
f (x) exists, and
3 limx→a
f (x) = f (a).
DefinitionA function f (x) is differentiable at x = a if f ′(a) exists, i.e., if the limit
f ′(a) = limh→0
f (a + h)− f (a)
h
exists and it is finite. We say f (x) is differentiable in a set of points (e.g., anopen interval) if it is differentiable at every point in the set.
Álvaro Lozano-Robledo (UConn) MATH 1131Q - Calculus 1 8 / 30
Continuity and Differentiability
A very important theorem: differentiability is a stronger condition thancontinuity.
TheoremIf f (x) is differentiable at x = a, then f (x) is continuous at x = a.
Warning! The converse is not true. The function f (x) = |x | iscontinuous at x = 0, but not differentiable at x = 0.
Álvaro Lozano-Robledo (UConn) MATH 1131Q - Calculus 1 9 / 30
Differentiation Rules
The Derivative of Elementary Functions
TheoremLet f (x) be a function.
If f (x) = c is constant for all x, then f ′(x) = 0.
If f (x) = x for all x, then f ′(x) = 1.
If f (x) = xn where n is a real number, then f ′(x) = nxn−1.
If f (x) = ax where a is a positive real number, then
f ′(x) = f ′(0)f (x) = f ′(0)ax where f ′(0) = limh→0

New Derivatives from Old
Some helpful rules of differentiation:
TheoremLet c be a constant, and let f and g be differentiable functions. Then:
1 ddx (cf (x)) = c d
dx f (x), i.e., (cf (x))′ = cf ′(x).
2 ddx (f (x) + g(x)) = d
dx f (x) + ddx g(x), i.e., (f + g)′ = f ′ + g′.
3 ddx (f (x)− g(x)) = d
dx f (x)− ddx g(x), i.e., (f − g)′ = f ′ − g′.

What is the derivative of f (x) = x2ex?
