2. Limits and Derivatives

3. Concept of a Function

4. y is a function of x , and the relation y = x 2 describes a function. We notice that with such a relation, every value of x corresponds to one (and only one) value of y . y = x 2

5. Since the value of y depends on a given value of x , we call y the dependent variable and x the independent variable and of the function y = x 2 .

9. Notation for a Function : f ( x )

28. A function f ( x ) has limit l at x 0 if f ( x ) can be made as close to l as we please by taking x sufficiently close to (but not equal to) x 0 . We write

41. The Slope of the Tangent to a Curve

42. The Slope of the Tangent to a Curve The slope of the tangent to a curve y = f ( x ) with respect to x is defined as provided that the limit exists.

43. Increments The increment △ x of a variable is the change in x from a fixed value x = x 0 to another value x = x 1 .

44. For any function y = f ( x ), if the variable x is given an increment △ x from x = x 0 , then the value of y would change to f ( x 0 + △ x ) accordingly. Hence thee is a corresponding increment of y (△ y ) such that △ y = f ( x 0 + △ x ) – f ( x 0 ) .

45. Derivatives (A) Definition of Derivative. The derivative of a function y = f ( x ) with respect to x is defined as provided that the limit exists.

46. The derivative of a function y = f ( x ) with respect to x is usually denoted by

47. The process of finding the derivative of a function is called differentiation . A function y = f ( x ) is said to be differentiable with respect to x at x = x 0 if the derivative of the function with respect to x exists at x = x 0 .

48. The value of the derivative of y = f ( x ) with respect to x at x = x 0 is denoted by or .

49. To obtain the derivative of a function by its definition is called differentiation of the function from first principles .
