DIFFERENTIATION USING FIRST PRINCIPLE

(The concept of limit) Consider a function of of a function

f

, i.e

f

and assume that 2 points were at the curve

A = ( x, f ( x )) and B = ( x + h, f ( x ) + h )

y / f ( x)

QQM1023 Managerial Mathematics From the diagram above, •

The straight line PQ is called a tangent to function

f

at the

point x . •

The slope / gradient of tangent

PQ is an approximation of

AB at that curve, i.e: f (x + h) − f (x) Slope / Gradient of AB = ⇒ (1) h When h → 0 , equation (1) can be written as chord

f (x + h ) − f (x ) ⇒ (2 ) h→0 h Since the gradient of function f at x equals to the gradient of lim



a tangent

PQ (equation (2 )), then equation (2 ) named as the

first principle differentiation or derivative :

f (x + h ) − f (x ) dy ′ = f ( x ) = lim h →0 dx h

Example 1:

If

f ( x ) = 6 x + 2 , find f ′( x ) by using the first principle

differentiation method. Solution: By using:

f ′( x) = lim h→0

Chapter 7: Differentiation

f ( x + h) − f ( x ) ⇒ (a) h

171

QQM1023 Managerial Mathematics

Step 1:

f ( x ) = 6 x + 2 , then f ( x + h ) = 6( x + h ) + 2

Given

Step 2: Substitute

f ( x + h ) = 6( x + h ) + 2 in (a )

6( x + h) + 2 − f ( x) h→0 h

f ′(x) = lim

6(x + h) + 2 − [6x + 2] f ′(x) = lim h→0 h

6 x + 6h + 2 − 6 x − 2 h →0 h

f ′( x ) = lim

6h = lim 6 h→0 h h→0

f ′( x ) = lim

Using the concept of limits, had

f ′( x ) = 6

h →0

6 = 6 , therefore ;
