Basic Calculus Activity Sheets Week 4

1. The document discusses the concept of the derivative of a function, which is defined as the limit of the difference quotient as the change in x approaches 0. This relates to the slope of the tangent line to the curve of a function at a given point. 2. Examples are provided to demonstrate finding the slope of the tangent line and determining the derivative using the Delta Method. 3. Practice exercises are included to assess understanding, such as determining derivatives using the Delta Method, finding slopes of tangent lines, and multiple choice questions testing key concepts.

WEEK 4
DERIVATIVE OF A FUNCTION
MELC: The learner illustrate tangent line to the graph of a function at a given point.
(STEM_BC11D-IIIe-1)
The learner applies the definition of the derivative of a function at a given number.
(STEM_BC11D-IIIe-2)
The learner relate the derivative of a function to the slope of the tangent line.
(STEM_BC11D-IIIe-3)

Instructional Objectives: At the end of the lessons, the learner is able to: a illustrate tangent line
to the graph of a function at a given point. b) applies the definition of the derivative of a function at a given
number; c) relate the derivative of a function to the slope of the tangent line.

INTRODUCTION
Things to Remember:
 To get the slope of the tangent line, simply evaluate the limit of the slope of the secant lines as h
approaches 0. This fact can be used to define the slope of the line tangent to a curve.
 Slope of the Line Tangent to a Curve
The slope m of the line tangent to the curve y=f (x ) at the point P[ x , f (x)] is given by the
f ( x+ h )−f (x)
equation m=lim provided that the limit exists. This is commonly called the
h →0 h
limit of the difference quotient.
dy f ( x+ ∆ x )−f ( x)
 The derivative of a function y=f (x ) is defined as follows: = lim
dx ∆ x→ 0 ∆x
 The process of finding the derivative of a function is called differentiation.
 The Delta Method of Finding the Derivatives of functions cab be used to find the derivative of
Algebraic Polynomial
 Delta Method
Step 1: In the given equation, replace x with x +∆ x and y with y +∆ y then simplify.
Step 2: Find ∆ y by subtracting the given equation from the equation obtained in Step 1. Simplify.
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation obtained in Step 2 by ∆ x. Simplify.
Step 4: Find the limit as ∆ x →0.

Illustrative Examples:
A. Determine the slope of the tangent line to the curve f ( x )=x 2−2 at x =1.
Solution:

a. f ( x )=x 2−2 , so f ( x+ h )=( x +h )2 −2thus ,
