INTRODUCTION
Good day future engineers! Welcome to Engineering Course
...
As you continue to do so in this
module, you can learn about the various ways in which the derivatives can be apply also in real life
situation
...
Just
like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division derivative is another concept in the field of
mathematics
...


LESSON PROPER
The differential of any function is equal to its derivative multiplied by the differential of the
independent variable
...

It follows from the above definition that all the fundamental formulas for derivatives become
differential formulas if we merely multiply through by 𝑑𝑥
...

LESSON PROPER
Approximate Formulas
Very often we wish to compute, or to estimate within safe limits, the change in the value of a
function caused by a small change in the value of the independent variable
...

In any approximate computation, the amount by which the computed value of the function differs
from the true is called error of the computation
...

2 Parametric Equation (Application)
3
...
1 Rectilinear Motion
Another application of finding derivatives is to compute velocities and accelerations of moving
objects
...
That is, the
acceleration is the derivative of the velocity with respect to time 𝑡
...
So we
have
𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 𝑎 =

𝑑𝑣
𝑑𝑡

=

𝑑2 𝑥
𝑑𝑡 2

𝑑𝑣

= 𝑣 𝑑𝑥

Example 5
...
3
The position of an object at time t is given by 𝑥 = 3𝑡 3 − 6𝑡 2 + 4𝑡 − 2, where 𝑥 is in feet and 𝑡 is
in seconds
...
2
...
An important instance
of uniformly accelerated motion arise when a body moves near the earth’s surface in a vertical
straight line
...

𝑎=

𝑑𝑣
𝑑𝑡

=𝑔;

𝑥 = 2 𝑔𝑡 2 + 𝑣𝑜 𝑡;

𝑣 2 = 𝑣𝑜 2 + 2𝑔𝑥

Example 5
...
4
A ball is dropped from the balloon at a height of 640𝑓𝑡
...

SOLUTION
With 𝑔 = 32
1

𝑥 = 2 𝑔𝑡 2 + 𝑣𝑜 𝑡
1

𝑥 = 2 (−32)𝑡 2 + 96𝑡, from which
𝑑𝑥 = (−32𝑡 + 96)𝑑𝑡 =

𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑡

= 𝑣 = −32𝑡 + 96

At the highest point, 𝑣 = 0; hence 𝑡 = 3,
1
𝑥 = (−32)(3)2 + 96(3) = 144𝑓𝑡
2

Thus the height above the starting point is 144𝑓𝑡
...
:
1

𝑥 = 2 𝑔𝑡 2 + 𝑣𝑜 𝑡
640 = 16𝑡 2 − 96𝑡
16(𝑡 2 − 6𝑡 − 40) = 0; 𝑡 = −4
Thus the ball is in the air for 𝟏𝟎 𝒔𝒆𝒄
...
2
...

With the starting point as origin and the y-axis is positive upward, the initial condition are;
𝑥 = 0,
𝑦 = 0,
𝑣𝑥 = 𝑣𝑜 cos 𝛼,
𝑣𝑦 = 𝑣𝑜 sin 𝛼 when 𝑡 = 0
The force of gravity acts vertically downward; there is no horizontal force

When the arrow hit the ground at maximum distance

4 Velocity and Acceleration in Curvilinear Motion
If a point moves in a plane curve, its coordinates are functions of time:
𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑡),
𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑡)
Thus the total velocity is the vector sum of the velocities parallel to the axis
𝑑𝑥

𝑑𝑦

𝑑𝑡

𝑑𝑡

𝑣 = √𝑣𝑥 2 + 𝑣𝑦 2 = √( )2 + ( )2
inclined to the x-axis at an angle 𝛼 such that
𝑣𝑦

tan 𝛼 = 𝑣

𝑥

The acceleration is the vector 𝛼 whose components, parallel to the axis are
𝑑𝑦 2

𝑑2 𝑥

𝑎 = √𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑎𝑦 2 = √ 𝑑𝑡 2 + 𝑑𝑡 2

inclined to the x-axis at an angle 𝛽 such that
𝑎𝑦

tan 𝛽 = 𝑎

𝑥

Example 5
...
6
Given the parametric equation below determine the total velocity and acceleration at 𝑡 = 2
𝑥 (𝑡) = 𝑡 3 − 3𝑡 2 + 𝑡

𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑡 2 − 2𝑡 + 3

and

SOULUTION:
For velocity
𝑥 (𝑡) = 𝑡 3 − 3𝑡 2 + 𝑡 from which

𝑑𝑥

𝑦(𝑡) = 𝑡 2 − 2𝑡 + 3 from which

𝑑𝑦

𝑣 = √(

Indeterminate Forms

In this lesson you will learn how to evaluate the limits of indeterminate forms equations using
derivatives
...
If 𝑓 (𝑎) = 𝑓(𝑏), then there
must be at least one number 𝑐 in (𝑎, 𝑏) such that 𝑓 ′(𝑐 ) = 0
...
1 Example diagram for Rolle’s Theorem
In the first two diagrams, there is only one possible value of 𝑐 such that 𝑓 ′(𝑐 ) = 0
...
The fourth diagram shows a constant function, so its derivative is always 0
...
Now, let’s look at some pictures where Rolle’s
Theorem does not apply:

𝑓 ′ (𝑐 ) =

𝑓(𝑏)−𝑓(𝑎)

Maxima and Minima Problems

In this lesson you will learn how to evaluate the derivatives of a Hyperbolic functions
...
1 Maxima and Minima
Max-Min Theorem: If 𝑓 is continuous on (𝑎, 𝑏), then 𝑓 has at least one maximum and one minimum
on (𝑎, 𝑏)
...


In the first graph, the function attains its maximum at 𝑥 = 𝑐 and its minimum at 𝑥 = 𝑑
...
The third
graph has a maximum at 𝑥 = 𝑏 but the minimum is at both 𝑥 = 𝑐 and 𝑥 = 𝑑
...
Finally, the fourth graph shows a
constant function, which is continuous; in fact, every point in the interval (𝑎, 𝑏) is both a maximum and
a minimum, since the function never goes above or below the constant value 𝑐

𝑃 (𝑡) = 𝑃𝑜 𝑒 −𝑘𝑡 with 𝑘 =

The population of rabbits started 3 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 ago at 1000, but now has grown to 64,000, then what
will the population be 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 from now? Also, what is the total time it will take for the population to
grow from 1000 to 400,000?
SOLUTION:
Well, we have 𝑃𝑜 = 1000, since that’s the initial population
