Derivative at a Point
Let f be a function and a be any point in its domain. Let h>0 be a small number. f(x) is said to be differentiable if exists and is denoted by f | (..
Derivability or Differentiability at a Point
Let f be a function and a be any point in its domain. Let h>0 be a small number. f(x) is said to be differentiable if exists and is denoted by f | (a), then f | (a) is called the derivative or differential coefficient of f(x) at x = a. That ..
Interpretation of Derivative at a Point
Physical Significance: Let Q (t) be a quantity that changes with time 't'. Let D t be the increment given to 't' and D Q be the corresponding increment in Q, then is called the average rate of change of Q with respect to 't'. (Also known as Newton - quotient of f at t..
Derivative of a Function
So far we have discussed the derivative of a function f(x) at a point 'a' which is in the domain of f. Suppose we want to find the derivative of the same function at a different point 'b', then we have to compute the derivative by repeatin..
Application of Derivatives Conclusion
Conclusion - In this chapter we have learnt the application of derivatives to rate measure, also we have used the geometrical measurement of to find the equations of the tangent and normal to a curve at any point on the curve, angle of intersection of the curves. The h..
Application of Derivatives Summary
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 ..
Theorem 3: (Second Derivative Test)
Let f be a differentiable function on an interval I and let a I. Let f "(a) be continuous at a. Then i) 'a' is a point of local maxima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) < 0 ii) 'a' is a point of local minima if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) > 0 iii) The test fails if f '(a) = 0 and f "(a) ..
Points to Remember
Modes of reproduction in plants can be grouped into 2 types a) asexual b) sexual reproduction Regeneration of new plants from portions of vegetative organs is very common. Runner, rhizome, bulbs, corns and tubers serve as means of propagation. A population of genetically identical plants..
