Document Summary

Motivated by sections 2. 1 and 3. 1, we see that f (x) is the slope of the line tangent to y = f (x) as a function of x. There are a number of ways to denote the derivative of y = f (x): f (x) = y = df dx dy dx d dx. Notice the text uses the alternative formula of the derivative. We can also study one-sided derivatives at a point de ned as follows: Left-hand derivative at b : lim h 0+ lim h 0 f (a + h) f (a) h f (b + h) f (b) h. The function in the previous example is not di erentiable at x = 1. There are a number of reasons as to why a function might not have a derivative at a point. If f has a derivative at x = c, then f is continuous at x = c.
