Application of Derivatives

Various Applications of Derivatives-

Rate of Change of Quantities:

If some other quantity β€˜y’ causes some change in a quantity of surely β€˜x’, in view of the fact that an equation of the form y = f(x) gets consistently pleased, i.e, β€˜y’ is a function of β€˜x’ then the rate of change of β€˜y’ related to β€˜x’ is to be given by 

\(\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

This is also known to be as the Average Rate of Change.

Increasing and Decreasing Function:

Consider y = f(x) be a differentiable function (whose derivative exists at all points in the domain) in an interval x = (a,b).

  • If for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) ≀ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as increasing in this interval.
  • Likewise, if for any two points x1 and x2 in the interval x such a manner that x1 < x2, there holds an inequality f(x1) β‰₯ f(x2); then the function f(x) is known as decreasing in this interval.
  • The functions are commonly known as strictly increasing or decreasing functions, given the inequalities are strict: f(x1) < f(x2) for strictly increasing and f(x1) > f(x2) for strictly decreasing.
