A DERIVATIVE FUNCTION The derivative function or simply the derivative is defined as ＝＝ Find the derivative function Find , Find the average rate of change , Find the limit . Geometric significance Consider a general function y=f(x), a fixed point A(a,f(a)) and a variable point B(x,f(x)). The slope of chord AB=. Now as BA, xa and the slope of chord ABslope of tangent at A. So, is . Thus, we can know the derivative at x=a is the slope of the tangent at x=a. Rules C(a constant) 0 The chain rule If where then . , 6. Inverse function, Parametric function and Implicit function Inv
