Derivative
Definition (Derivative)
The derivative of a function y = f(x) at x0 is
f ′(x0) = limh→0
f(x0 + h)− f(x0)
h.
We can also write dfdx
∣∣∣x0
to denote f ′(x0)
I Tip: definition is important in mathematics.

Example
Derivative of f(x) = x3. (left as exercise)
f ′(x) = limh→0
f(x+ h)− f(x)
h
= limh→0
(x+ h)3 − x3
h
= limh→0
x3 + 3x2h+ 3xh2 + h3 − x3
h
= limh→0
3x2h+ 3xh2 + h3
h
= limh→0
3x2 + 3xh+ h2
= 3x2

Derivative: geometric view
Fact (Local approximation to a smooth function using a line)
Any smooth function looks like a (unique) straight line whenzooming in. This line is the tangent line of the function. (This canalso be taken as the definition for the tangent line.)In other words, locally one can use the tangent line toapproximately represent a smooth function.

Tangent lines
For smooth functions:
secant line tangent line
slope = f(a+h)−f(a)h
h→0−−−→ slope = limh→0f(a+h)−f(a)
h = f ′(a)average rate of change instantaneous rate of change
The derivative tells us how fast the function is changing.Equation of tangent line at (a, f(a)):
y − f(a) = f ′(a)(x− a).

Differentiability and continuity
I Continuity = is continuous
I Differentiability = has a derivative
Q1. A function that is continuous at a point must also bedifferentiable at that point?
A. True
B. False (For example, f(x) = |x|)Q2. A function that is differentiable at a point must also becontinuous at that point?
A. True (Differentiable ⇒ looks like tangent line)
B. False
Analytic argument:
limh→0
f(a+ h)− f(a)
h
must exist.
