DIFFERENTIATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

 

DERIVATIVE OF THE EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

The derivative of e^x is quite remarkable. The expression for the derivative is the same as the expression that we started with; that is, e^x!

$What does this mean?$ It means the slope is the same as the function value (the y-value) for all points on the graph.

Example: Let's take the example when x = 2. At this point, the y-value is e² ≈ 7.39.
Since the derivative of e^x is e^x, then the slope of the tangent line at x = 2 is also e² ≈ 7.39.
We can see that it is true on the graph:

Let's now see if it is true at some other values of x.

We can see that at x = 4, the y-value is 54.6 and the slope of the tangent (in red) is also 54.6.
At x = 5, the y-value is 148.4, as is the value of the derivative and the slope of the tangent (in green).

DIFFERENTIATION OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

The derivative of f(x) = b x is given by f '(x) = b x ln b Note: if f(x) = e x , then f '(x) = e x Example 1: Find the derivative of f(x) = 2 x Solution to Example 1: ·         Apply the formula above to obtain f '(x) = 2 x ln 2 Example 2: Find the derivative of f(x) = 3 x + 3x 2 Solution to Example 2: ·         Let g(x) = 3 x and h(x) = 3x 2, function f is the sum of functions g and h: f(x) = g(x) + h(x). Use the sum rule, f '(x) = g '(x) + h '(x), to find the derivative of function f f '(x) = 3 x ln 3 + 6x Example 3: Find the derivative of f(x) = e x / ( 1 + x ) Solution to Example 3: ·         Let g(x) = e x and h(x) = 1 + x, function f is the quotient of functions g and h: f(x) = g(x) / h(x). Hence we use the quotient rule, f '(x) = [ h(x) g '(x) - g(x) h '(x) ] / h(x) 2, to find the derivative of function f. g '(x) = e x h '(x) = 1 f '(x) = [ h(x) g '(x) - g(x) h '(x) ] / h(x) 2 = [ (1 + x)(e x) - (e x)(1) ] / (1 + x) 2 Multiply factors in the numerator and simplify  f '(x) = x e x / (1 + x) 2 Example 4: Find the derivative of f(x) = e 2x + 1 Solution to Example 4: ·         Let u = 2x + 1 and y = e u, Use the chain rule to find the derivative of function f as follows. f '(x) = (dy / du) (du / dx) ·         dy / du = e u and du / dx = 2 f '(x) = (e u)(2) = 2 e u ·         Substitute u = 2x + 1 in f '(x) above f '(x) = 2 e 2x + 1 Exercises Find the derivative of each function. 1 - f(x) = e x 2 x 2 - g(x) = 3 x - 3x 3 3 - h(x) = e x / (2x - 3) 4 - j(x) = e (x2 + 2) solutions to the above exercises 1 - f '(x) = e x 2 x ( ln 2 + 1) 2 - g '(x) = 3 x ln 3 - 9x 2 3 - h '(x) = e x(2x -5) / (2x - 3) 2 4 - j '(x) = 2x e (x2 + 2)

   

Solve the following problem

Differentiate y=e^(ax+b) where a and b are constants

Let u = ax + b and y = e ^u

 Use the chain rule to find the derivative of function as follows 

 dy/dx = (dy / du) (du / dx) 

dy / du = e ^u and du / dx = a  ( Since the derivative of the constant b is 0)

Hence dy/dx = (e ^u)(a) = a e ^u

Substitute u = ax + b in dy/dx above 

dy/dx = a e ^ax + b

VOLUME OF A TRIANGULAR PRISM

www.VirtualNerd.com

How Do You Find the Volume of a Triangular Prism?

Find the volume of the triangular prism below

SUMMARY

1. B stands for the area of the base
2. Since our bases are triangles, we can use (1/2)bh for B
3. We can call the height of the triangle h₁ and the height of the prism h₂ to avoid confusion
4. Volume is measured in units cubed, so we have 50 cm³

 

NOTES

1. 
    
   1. The volume of a prism is V=Bh
   2. B is the area of the base of the prism
   3. h is the height of the prism
   4. The base of our prism is a triangle, so we can use (1/2)bh, the area of a triangle, for B
   5. We can call the height of the triangle h₁ and the height of the prism h₂ to avoid confusion
2. 
    
   1. V is the volume, which is what we are trying to find
   2. b is the base of the triangle, which is 5 cm
   3. h₁ is the height of the triangle, which is 2 cm
   4. h₂ is the height of the prism, which is 10 cm
3. 
    
   1. We can plug 5 in for 'b', 2 in for 'h₁', and 10 in for 'h₂' in our equation
4. 
    
   1. We need to use the order of operations to simplify the right hand side
   2. First multiply 5•2 in the innermost parentheses
   3. Then multiply (1/2)•10 within the next set of parentheses
   4. This is the same as 10/2, or 5
   5. Then multiply 5•10 to get 50 cm³

VOLUME OF A RECTANGULAR PRISM

Volume of a rectangular prism or box examples: Let's do some example problems together in which we use the area times length formula for finding volume.

INTRANSITIVE VERBS AS TRANSITIVE VERBS

INTRANSITIVE VERBS AS TRANSITIVE VERBS

When an intransitive verb is used in a causative sense, it becomes transitive.

Study the examples given below.

The horse walks. (Intransitive)

The man walks the horse. (Transitive – here the man causes the horse to walk.)

Birds fly. (Intransitive)

The boys fly their kites. (Transitive)

The spellings of certain common verbs indicate whether they are transitive or intransitive.

Many trees fell in the storm. (Intransitive)

Woodcutters felled the trees. (Transitive)

Lie still. (Intransitive)

Lay the basket on the table. (Transitive)

Rise early with the lark. (Intransitive)

Raise your hands. (= Cause your hands to rise.)

Sit here.

Set the lamp on the table.

Some intransitive verbs become transitive when a preposition is added to them.

His friends laughed at him. (Laugh is an intransitive verb and does not take any object. Laugh at is a transitive verb and takes the object ‘him’.)

He soon ran through his fortune. (The verb run is intransitive whereas run through is transitive. To run through one’s fortune is to use it rapidly.)

Please look into the matter carefully.

I wish for nothing.

Sometimes the preposition is prefixed to the verb.

He overcame his enemy. (Come is an intransitive verb, but overcome is transitive.)

He bravely withstood the attack. (Stand is an intransitive verb, but withstand is transitive.)

DIRECT TO INDIRECT SPEECH: GENERAL RULES

DIRECT TO INDIRECT SPEECH: GENERAL RULES

When we report something usin the exact words of the speaker, we use direct speech. When we report something in our own words, we use indirect speech.

Direct speech: The boy said, ‘I’m happy with my results.’
Indirect speech: The boy said that he was happy with his results.

General rules for changing direct speech into indirect speech

Omit all inverted commas or quotation marks. End the sentence with a full stop.

If the verb inside the inverted commas/quotation marks is in the present tense, change it into the corresponding past tense. If it is in the simple past tense, change it into the past perfect tense.

Direct speech: The girl said, ‘I like singing.’
Indirect speech: The girl said that she liked singing.

Direct speech: Rahul said, ‘I will have to reach home by 8.30.’
Indirect speech: Rahul said that he would have to reach home by 8.30.

Direct speech: Alina said, ‘I met James yesterday.’
Indirect speech: Alina said that she had met James yesterday.

When the verb inside the quotation marks expresses a universal truth, we do not normally change it into the past tense.

He said, ‘All people have equal rights.’
He said that all people have equal rights. (More natural than ‘He said that all people had equal rights.’)

Use pronouns appropriately.

Study the examples given below.

Direct speech: The boy told the girl, ‘I told you that we were not going on a holiday.’
Indirect speech: The boy told the girl that he had told her that theywere not going on a holiday.

Notes

When the reporting verb is in a present or future tense, we do not change the tense of the verb inside the quotation marks.

Direct speech: She says, ‘I will come.’
Indirect speech: She says that she will come.
