There can not be a derivative at a point that is not continuous or differentiable. This includes graphs that have a corner (f(x)=|x|), a cusp (f(x)=x^(2/3)), vertical tangent(f(x)=x^(1/3)), or a discontinuity in the graph.

Sometimes when finding derivatives, we must watch out for the domains. For example, if f(x) = ln (x-4), the domain of f'x) is x>4 or (4,infinity) and f'(x) will = 1 / (x-4). If x were less than 4, the derivative would be undefined.

Sometimes, life sucks and we have to differentiate implicitly.

Heres an example of implicit differentiation;
Paige Eber
3/15/2016 07:11:01 pm
Another way to think about implicit differentiation is to consider the derivative of x to be dx and the derivative of y to be dy. Then, for example, the derivative of the function y^2 = x is 2ydy = dx and you divide by 2ydx to get dy/dx = 1/2y.

On the ap test, we may be asked to match the graphs of functions with the graph of the functions derivative. For this, it is helpful to remember the derivative graph will have one less power. For example the derivative graph of a cubic function will be a parabola and the derivative graph of a parabola will be linear. It can also be helpful to locate where the graph equals zero on the derivative graph to be able to match it to a maximum or minimum on the graph of the function.

Connecting to Chapter 5, when you take the integral of a function, you are taking the anti-derivative. This means that after you take the antiderivative, the derivative of the anti-derivative should give you the function in the integral. This is an easy way to quickly check if the anti-derivative you got is correct.

This is 3.1 #11, you start by using the formal definition of derivative by taking the limit as x approaches 0 of f(x+h)-f(x)/h. You then plug in the corresponding numbers and variables based on the function. F(x+h) is equal to 2(x+h)^2 - 13(x+h) +5, and f(x) is 2x^2 -13x +5. When you plug these into the derivative definition , you get the limit as h approaches 0 of (4xh + 2h^2 -13h)/h, which simplifies to the minute as h approaches 0 of 4x +2h -13. When you substitute 0 for h based on the limit, you get 4x - 13, so at x=3, the derivative is 4(3) - 13, which is -1. The tangent line also passes through (3, -16), so it's equation is y = -x - 13.
