Derivatives
In this chapter we will start looking at the next major
topic in a calculus class. We will be looking at derivatives in this chapter
(as well as the next chapter). This chapter is devoted almost exclusively to
finding derivatives. We will be looking at one application of them in this
chapter. We will be leaving most of the applications of derivatives to the next
chapter.
Here is a listing of the topics covered in this chapter.
The Definition of the Derivative - In
this section we will be looking at the definition of the derivative.
Interpretation of the Derivative
- Here
we will take a quick look at some interpretations of the derivative.
Differentiation Formulas
- Here
we will start introducing some of the differentiation formulas used in a
calculus course.
Product and Quotient Rule
- In
this section we will took at differentiating products and quotients of
functions.
Derivatives of Trig Functions
- We�ll
give the derivatives of the trig functions in this section.
Derivatives of Exponential and Logarithm Functions - In
this section we will get the derivatives of the exponential and logarithm
functions
