DEFINITION 2

3.2 Derivatives of Functions, The Product and Quotient Rules
Figure 1
In this section, we shall consider derivatives of some of the basic functions such as polynomials, exponential, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. The product rule and quotient rule are helpful in derivations of derivatives of functions which are expressed as the product and/or quotient of other functions. We also consider applications of the derivative to other sciences.
For the constant function , the graph is the horizontal line

Definition of the Number
The number is an important mathematical constant, it is an irrational
umber which approximately equals to 2.71828. This number arises in the study of
compound interest, and can also be calculated as the sum of the infinite series
.
The constant may be defined in many ways; for example, is the unique real number
such that the value of the derivative (slope of the tangent line) of the function
at the point is equal to 1. The number

Applications
Figure 6
In this section, we consider applications of the rate of change of with respect to
,
, in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, and other sciences. We have mentioned the following, rates of change that are important in physics are velocity, density, current, power (the rate at which work is done), the rate of heat flow, temperature gradient (the rate of change of temperature with respect to position) and the rate of decay of a radioactive substance.
If and
changes from
to
, then the change in
is written as
and the corresponding change in
is
.
So, the average rate of change of with respect to
over the interval
is given as
which is the slope of the secant line through the points and
. Its limit as
is the derivative
which can therefore be interpreted as the instantaneous rate of change of
with respect to
, or the slope of the tangent line at
.
Physics: Let the position function of a particle that is moving in a straight line be denoted . Then, the average velocity over a time period is the average rate of change and the instantaneous velocity is
(the rate of change of displacement with respect to time).
EXAMPLE 10
The position function of a particle is given by the function where time
is measured in seconds and position
in meters.
(a) Find the velocity at time
.
(b)When is the particle moving in the positive direction?
(c) Find the total distance traveled by the particle during the time .
(d) Find the total displacement traveled by the particle during the time .
Solution. (a)The velocity function is the derivative of the position function:
.
(b)When , the particle is moving in the positive direction. Thus,
or
.
(c) The total distance is
.
(d) The total displacement is
.
Biology: Let be the number of individuals in an animal or plant population at time
. The change in the population size between the times
and
is
. So, the average rate of growth during the time period is
.
The Instantaneous Rate of Growth is
The instantaneous rate of change is important in many sciences. Consider a population of bacteria in a homogeneous nutrient medium. In the ideal situation, the bacteria’s population has an exponential rate of growth. For example, if the bacteria’s population is ,
, then we have
.
We note that the derivatives of the demand, revenue, and profit functions are known as marginal demand, marginal revenue, and marginal profit, these are used in economics.
In psychology, if represents the performance of someone learning a skill as a function of the training time
, then the rate at which performance improves as time passes is,
. In sociology, if
denotes the proportion of a population that knows a rumor (innovations, fads or fashions) by time
, then the derivative
represents the rate at which the rumor is spreading.
In other disciplines, a meteorologist is concerned with the rate of change of atmospheric pressure with respect to height, an urban geographer is interested in the rate of change of the population density in a city as the distance from the city center increases, a geologist may be interested in knowing the rate at which an intruded body of molten rock cools by conducting heat to surrounding rocks, and an engineer wants to determine the rate at which water flows into or out of a reservoir.

If is the position function of an object that moves in a straight line, then its first
derivative represents the velocity of the object as a function of time:

Implicit Differentiation
So far we are dealing with explicit functions, that is, with functions of the form . We have noted that this function has the property that each value of
is associated with one and only one value
. But in practice, sometimes the relation between two variables
and
is expressed in a more general form, we can regard
as an implicit function of
, that is, regard
as independent variable and
as the dependent variable. Of course, we can also regard
as the independent variable and
as a function of
. Whether one determines
or
as independent variable depends either on the problem or on the concrete application.
Note that, while explicit functions are a particular case of implicit functions, since equation can be written as
(So it has form
, with
), not every implicit function can be written as explicit function, that is, it is not always possible to solve the equation
in order to write
. Also, note that, for implicit functions
, one value of
can be associated with more than one value of
.
EXAMPLE 13
The equation shows
is as an implicit function of
, but it is not an explicit function, since it is impossible to find an expression for
in terms of

).
EXAMPLE 14
Figure 5 The folium of Descartes
The equation is another example of an implicit function. This curve is called the folium of Descartes shown in Figure 5.
In order to find the derivative of it is not necessary to solve an equation for

and then solving the resulting equation for
. Assume that the given equation determines
implicitly as a differentiable function of

Orthogonal Trajectories
Two curves are called orthogonal if at each point of intersection their tangent lines are perpendicular. Two families of curves are orthogonal trajectories of each other if every curve in one family is orthogonal to every curve in the other family. For example in physics, the lines of force in an electrostatic field are orthogonal to the lines of constant potential. In thermodynamics, the isotherms (curves of equal temperature) are orthogonal to the flow lines of heat. In aerodynamics, the streamlines (curves of direction of airflow) are orthogonal trajectories of the velocity-equipotential curves.
EXAMPLE 17
Show that the family of curves (

(

Solution. Differentiating gives
.
Differentiating gives
.
So at any of the intersection points, the slopes of the tangents are negative reciprocals of each other. Therefore, the two families are orthogonal families.

Hyperbolic Functions
Figure 7 Catenary curve
Hyperbolic functions which arise frequently in mathematics and its applications, are certain combinations of the exponential functions and
. In many ways they are analogous to the trigonometric functions, and they have the same relationship to the hyperbola that the trigonometric functions have to the circle. For this reason they are called hyperbolic functions.
Definition of the Hyperbolic Functions
The graphs of the hyperbolic sine and cosine can be sketched using graphical addition as in Figures 8-9. The remaining hyperbolic functions are shown in Figures 10-13.

3.4 Approximation and Related Rates
In this section, we deal with approximating a given function by means of a class of functions which are simple and easy to deal with. One such class of functions is polynomials.
Linear Approximation
Given a function , sometimes it is desirable to choose another function
from a class
of functions which are convenient to work with as an approximation of
. For the approximation
to be a good approximation of the function
, the difference
which is called the error of the approximation must be small in some definite sense.
In this section, we consider linear approximations, that is, the class of functions from which we choose an approximation consists of linear functions. If we require
to be a linear function, such that its value of the its first derivative at a given point
coincides with the value of
and
at
, respectively, that is,
,
, then we have
.
This function is the linear approximation of the function at the point
, and is denoted by
(often we simply write
instead of
, if it is clear at which point we consider the linear approximation). Thus,
.
Figure 1
Note that from the Mean Value Theorem, we have
,
where is some number between
and
.
Under the assumption that is continuous (on an interval contain
and
), then
is small for all values
which are in some small interval containing
, hence the error of the linear approximation is small for all values of
which are close to
. This fact is illustrated in Figure 1. For values
which are far from
, since
can be large, the error of the linear approximation can be large. Thus, linear approximation does not give a good
approximation for which are far from
.
EXAMPLE 1
Determine the linear approximation for at
.
Solution. All we need to do is find the tangent line to at
.
The linear approximation is,
So, as long as remains small we can say that
. ■
Differentials
In this section, we introduce some notation that we will use frequently the next chapter.
Given a function , if differential
(or
) is defined by
Let denote an actual change in the variable
, and
denote the corresponding actual change in the variable
, that is,
The idea of using differential is to give an approximation of the value , so that we can use it to approximate
(since
).
If the function is continuous, as in our case, then a small change in
produces a small change in
.
Geometrically, the differential may be explained as follows:
Let and
be two points on the curve
. Let
. Since the derivative at
is the same as the slope of the tangent line
, we have
.
Figure 2
In other words, is the differential of the
coordinates to the tangent line while
is the increment of the
coordinates to the curve.
Therefore, the differential is an approximation for the increment
.
More formally
.
In other words, can be used for the approximation of the increment
near
. We now write
. From the above formula, we can find the approximating value of
if we know
and
.
EXAMPLE 2
Use differentials to approximate .
Solution. Let . Set
and
.
Since ,
, we have
Hence approximately,
. ■
EXAMPLE 3
Let . Use differentials to approximate the value of
at
.
Solution.
Thus, we set and
Since we have
, the differential is
As an approximation at ,
. When
(and
),
■
(In this case, we can compute 24.9491078380810 and the true error, which is
. Hence, the approximating value is accurate within an error of 0.0002,
.)
Sometimes, a better description of the error can be given by the relative error, which is computed as the error divided by the total quantity
, i.e., the relative error is
. Also, sometimes percentage error is more suitable. The percentage error is the (relative error)
(%).
EXAMPLE 4
The radius of the sphere was measured and found to be 5cm with a possible error in measurement of at most 0.02cm. What is the maximum error and the relative error in using this value of radius in computing the volume of the sphere?
Solution. If the radius of the sphere is , then its volume is
. If the error in
is denoted by
, then the corresponding error in
will be denoted by
. Since
,
,
we have,
Hence, the maximum error is
and the relative error is
. ■
Quadratic Approximation
Figure 3
In the above, we considered the linear (tangent line) approximation for a curve. The graph of the cosine function is a very nice looking curve. But it is just that, a curve. The best linear approximation to the cosine function near 0 is quite unexciting; you can check that for , the best linear approximation near 0 is given by
. One reason that linear approximations are popular is because linear functions are easy to work with. But as we see from the cosine function, linear approximations have their limitations. After linear functions, the next simplest functions are the quadratics. For a better approximation, we approximate a curve by using a parabola instead of a straight line. We will look for a second-degree polynomial in the following form:
,
this is a better approximation of near
than the linear approximation. Similarly, as with the linear approximation, we require
,
and
. Then,
and
.
Hence if is at least twice differentiable, then
is the “quadratic approximation” for near
.
We note that linear approximations at given point , while quadratic approximation at
, at first and second derivative at
.
EXAMPLE 5
Figure 4
Consider the cosine function and let
. It is not hard to verify that if we let
, then
and
have the same first two derivatives at 0. In addition, the graph of
is very close to the graph of
(very nicely) near 0.
EXAMPLE 6
Find the quadratic approximation for near
. Use it to approximate
.
Solution. and
.
The quadratic approximation near is
.
A more accurate approximation is so we have found agreement in 6 decimal places. ■
Related Rates
In the real world, many quantities are related with each other. In turn, their derivatives (rates of change) will be related with each other. This is also a useful approach to the solution of real-world problems. Let us consider some simple examples.

Solution. We have a relationship between and
, i.e.,
.
Implicit differentiation gives us that Note that
and

At

Solution. We have Differentiating, with respect to
