differential calculus with applications

As we have mentioned earlier that almost every branch of study deals with problems involving differential equation, in this section we solve few examples to exhibit the application of differential equation in various branches of knowledge.As we have mentioned earlier t..

x = a is called a point of inflexion. Rolle's theorem: If a function f(x) is such that (i) f (x) is continuous on [a,b] (ii) f (x) is differentiable on (a,b) and (iii) f (a) = f (b) Geometrical interpretation of Rolle's theorem Let AB be the graph of y = f(x) such that A = (a , f(a)) and ..

Derivatives are also used to trace the graphs of different functions. To optimise the value of a differentiable function of practical use, derivatives of the functions are applied. This chapter reveals with many more application of derivatives such as determining the relative e..

Introduction - The derivative, measures the rate at which the dependent variable changes with respect to the independent variable. It is one of the most important ideas in Calculus. The differentiation of functions are widely used in science, economics, medicine and computer sci..

>does not exist, then we say that the function is not differentiable. If the above limit exists, we say the function f(x) is differentiable. In order to test the differentiability of a function at a point, the right hand derivative and left hand derivatives are introdu..

Conclusion - In this chapter we have learnt the application of derivatives to rate measure, also we have used the geometrical measurement of dy/dx to find the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve at any point on the curve, angle of intersection of the curve..

After having studied functions, limits and continuity in the previous chapter, we shall further divide the class of continuous functions into two sub classes, derivable and non-derivable.After having studied functions, limits and continuity in the previous chapter, we shall further divide the class..

Conclusion Differentiation - In this chapter, we have studied various techniques of differentiation. Also, we have studied the method of obtaining higher order derivatives of functions which is useful in maxima and minima problems.In this chapter, we have studied various techniq..
