Lecture 2: Exercise 1

Explanation

This is an exercise in applying the process of differentiation to several functions. It is a straightforward calculation.

Hint

Apply the definition of differentiation step-by-step.

Answer

� f HtL = t4

+ 3 t3

- 12 t2

+ t - 6.

We first define

f Ht + D tL = Ht + D tL4+ 3 Ht + D tL3

- 12 Ht + D tL2+ Ht + D tL - 6

f Ht + D tL = D t4

+ t4

+ 4 D t t3

+ 6 D t2

t2

+ 4 D t3

t + 3 D t3

+ 3 t3

+9 D t t2

+ 9 D t2

t - 12 D t2

- 12 t2

- 24 D t t + t + D t - 6

then we write,

f Ht + D tL - f HtL = D t4

+ t4

+ 4 D t t3

+ 6 D t2

t2

+ 4 D t3

t + 3 D t3

+ 3 t3

+9 D t t2

+ 9 D t2

t - 12 D t2

- 12 t2

- 24 D t t + t + D t

-6 - t4

- 3 t3

+ 12 t2

- t + 6

f Ht + D tL - f HtL = D t4

+ 4 D t t3

+ 6 D t2

t2

+ 4 D t3

t + 3 D t3

+9 D t t2

+ 9 D t2

t - 12 D t2

- 24 D t t + D t

then we divide by D t,

f Ht + D tL - f HtL

D t

= D t3

+ 4 t3

+ 6 D t t2

+ 4 D t2

t + 3 D t2

+9 t2

+ 9 D t t - 12 D t - 24 t + 1

then we take the limit as D t ® 0,

limD t®0

f Ht + D tL - f HtL

D t

= 4 t3

+ 9 t2

- 24 t + 1.

this is the derivative.

� gHxL = sin x - cos x.

Here we using the sum rule and the results of Eq. (2),

g ' HxL = cos x + sin x.

� ΘHΑL = eΑ

+ Α ln Α.

We begin by using the sum rule

Θ ' HΑL =d

d Αe

Α+

d

d ΑHΑ ln ΑL.

We then apply Eq. (2) for the first term,

Θ ' HΑL = eΑ

+d

d ΑHΑ ln ΑL.

We then apply the product rule for the second term,

Θ ' HΑL = eΑ

+ Αd

d Αln Α + ln Α

d

d ΑΑ .

We then apply Eq. 2 for the second term,

Θ ' HΑL = eΑ

Α+ ln Α

d

d ΑΑ = e

Α+ 1 + ln Α

d

d ΑΑ

Since d Α �d Α = 1,

Θ ' HΑL = eΑ

+ 1 + ln Α.

� xHtL = sin2

t - cos t.

Here we apply the sum rule,

x ' HtL =d

d t

sin2

t -d

d t

cos t.

We complete the second term, as it is simpler,

x ' HtL =d

d t

sin2

t - H-sin tL =d

d t

sin2

t + sin t.

The second term is a little tricky. The easy way is to apply the chain rule. We define a new variable, u = sin t, then

d

d t

sin2

t =d

d u

u2

d

d t

Hsin tL = 2 u cos t

we then substitute the value of u,

d

d t

sin2

t = 2 sin t cos t.

So,

x ' HtL = 2 sin t cos t + sin t.
