1. Chapter 22 Differentiation

2. Starter What do you know about Gradient?

3. Objectives Define differentiation Find the gradient function

4. The branch of mathematics that deals with the finding and properties of derivatives and integrals of functions The two main types are differential calculus and integral calculus . Calculus

5. Differentiation , in mathematics , is the process of finding the derivative, or rate of change, of a function. In mathematics , a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output.

6. Can be written as when given in the form y = …. It means the derivative of y with respect to x

11. Objective Differentiation of multiple term

12. Differentiating Multiple Terms Differentiate   First thing to note: If then i.e. differentiate each term individually in a sum/subtraction .     ? ? ? Therefore applying the usual rule: Alternatively, if you compare to , it’s clear that the gradient is fixed and .   Therefore applying the usual rule: Alternatively, if you sketch , the line is horizontal, so the gradient is 0.

14. Objective Calculate Gradient of a curve at a point

15. Harder Example Let Find the gradient of at the point Find the coordinates of the point on the graph of where the gradient is 8. Find the gradient of at the points where the curve meets the line .   When   Remember that the ‘gradient function’ allows you to find the gradient for a particular value of .   Point is   This example is important! Previously you used a value of to get the gradient . This time we’re doing the opposite : using a known gradient to get the value of . We therefore substitute for 8.   a b c First find point of intersection: Solving, we obtain: or When When   Once you have your , you need to work out . Ensure you use the correct equation!   ? ? ?

16. Test Your Understanding Let Find the gradient of at the point Find the coordinates of the point on the graph of where the gradient is 5. Find the gradient of at the points where the curve meets the line .   When   Point is   a b c Solving: or When When   ? ? ?

17. Exercise 1 For each of the following, find the gradient function , and hence find the gradient of the tangent to the curve when The tangent to the curve has gradient 6. Determine the possible values of .   For the curve , determine: The gradient of the tangent to the curve at the point The point on the curve where the gradient is 5.
