3.1 Derivative of a Function


A function is differentiable if it has a
derivative everywhere in its domain. It
must be continuous and smooth.
Functions on closed intervals must have
one-sided derivatives defined at the end
points.

3.2 Differentiability
To be differentiable, a function must be continuous
and smooth.
Derivatives will fail to exist at:
f

f x x

corner

cusp

vertical tangent

3

1, x 0
1, x 0

discontinuity

3.2 Differentiability
Most of the functions we study in calculus will be differentiable.

3.2 Differentiability
There are two theorems on page 110:

If f has a derivative at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a.

Since a function must be continuous to have a derivative,


if it has a derivative then it is continuous.

3.2 Differentiability
Intermediate Value Theorem for Derivatives
If a and b are any two points in an interval on which f is

differentiable, then f takes on every value between f a


and f b .
f b 3

1
f a
2

Between a and b, f must take


1
on every value between 2 and 3.

3.3 Rules for Differentiation


If the derivative of a function is its slope, then for a
constant function, the derivative must be zero.

Marginal cost is the first derivative of the cost function, and


represents an approximation of the cost of producing one
more unit.

Suppose it costs:

If you are currently producing 10 stoves,


the 11th stove will cost approximately:
The actual cost is: C 11 C 10

Note that this is not a


great approximation
Dont let that bother you.
Marginal cost is a linear approximation of a curved
function. For large values it gives a good approximation
of the cost of producing the next item.
