Example 1.4.5. Suppose\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} {3x} + 5, & \text{ if }x \leq 1 \\ {10} - {2x}, & \text{ if }x > 1 \end{array}\right. \]\n\nIf \( \epsilon \) is a positive infinitesimal, then
\[ f\left( {1 + \epsilon }\right) = 3\left( {1 + \epsilon }\right) + 5 = 8 + {3\epsilon } \simeq 8 = f\left( 1\right) ,\]\n\nso \( f \) is continuous from the right at \( x = 1 \), and\n\n\[ f\left( {1 - \epsilon }\right) = 3\left( {1 - \epsilon }\right) + 5 = 8 - {3\epsilon } \simeq 8 = f\left( 1\right) ,\]\n\nso \( f...

Suppose that both \( f \) and \( g \) are continuous at the real number \( c \) and we let \( s\left( x\right) = f\left( x\right) + g\left( x\right) \) . If \( \epsilon \) is any infinitesimal, then
\[ s\left( {c + \epsilon }\right) = f\left( {c + \epsilon }\right) + g\left( {c + \epsilon }\right) \simeq f\left( c\right) + g\left( c\right) = s\left( c\right) ,\] and so \( s \) is also continuous at \( c \) .
Yes
Since\n\n\[ \n{\left( x + \epsilon \right) }^{3} = {x}^{3} + 3{x}^{2}\epsilon + {3x}{\epsilon }^{2} + {\epsilon }^{3} \simeq {x}^{3} \n\]\n\nfor any real number \( x \) and any infinitesimal \( \epsilon \), it follows that \( g\left( x\right) = {x}^{3} \) is continuous on \( \left( {-\infty ,\infty }\right) \) .
From the previous theorems, it then follows that\n\n\[ \nh\left( x\right) = 5{x}^{2} + 3{x}^{3} \n\]\n\nis continuous on \( \left( {-\infty ,\infty }\right) \) .
No
The function \( f\left( x\right) = {x}^{2} \) attains neither a maximum nor a minimum value on the interval \( \left( {0,1}\right) \) .
Indeed, given any point \( a \) in \( \left( {0,1}\right), f\left( x\right) > f\left( a\right) \) whenever \( a < x < 1 \) and \( f\left( x\right) < f\left( a\right) \) whenever \( 0 < x < a \) .
Yes
Example 1.5.9. Let\n\n\[ f\\left( x\\right) = \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} \\frac{1}{x}, & \\text{ if } - 1 \\leq x < 0\\text{ or }0 < x \\leq 1, \\\\ 0, & \\text{ if }x = 0. \\end{array}\\right.\n\]\n\nSee Figure 1.5.5. Then \( f \) does not have a maximum value: if \( a \\leq 0 \), then \( f\\left( x\\right) > f\\lef...
The problem this time is that \( f \) is not continuous at \( x = 0 \). Indeed, if \( \\epsilon \) is an infinitesimal, then \( f\\left( \\epsilon \\right) \) is infinite, and, hence, not infinitesimally close to \( f\\left( 0\\right) = 0 \) .
Yes
If \( y = {x}^{2} \), then, for any nonzero infinitesimal \( {dx} \)
\[ {dy} = {\left( x + dx\right) }^{2} - {x}^{2} = \left( {{x}^{2} + {2xdx} + {\left( dx\right) }^{2}}\right) - {x}^{2} = \left( {{2x} + {dx}}\right) {dx}. \] Hence \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = {2x} + {dx} \simeq {2x} \] and so the derivative of \( y \) with respect to \( x \) is \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = {2x} \]
Yes
If \( f\left( x\right) = {4x} \), then, for any nonzero infinitesimal \( {dx} \)
\n\[ \frac{f\left( {x + {dx}}\right) - f\left( x\right) }{dx} = \frac{4\left( {x + {dx}}\right) - {4x}}{dx} = \frac{4dx}{dx} = 4. \] \nHence \( {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = 4 \) . Note that this implies that \( f\left( x\right) \) has a constant rate of change: every change of one unit in \( x \) results in a change ...
Yes
If \( y = {x}^{2} \), then we saw above that \( \frac{dy}{dx} = {2x} \) . Hence the rate of change of \( y \) with respect to \( x \) when \( x = 3 \) is
\[ {\left. \frac{dy}{dx}\right| }_{x = 3} = \left( 2\right) \left( 3\right) = 6 \]
Yes
If \( f\left( x\right) = {x}^{\frac{2}{3}} \), then for any infinitesimal \( {dx} \) ,
\[ f\left( {0 + {dx}}\right) - f\left( 0\right) = f\left( {dx}\right) = {\left( dx\right) }^{\frac{2}{3}}, \] which is infinitesimal. Hence \( f \) is continuous at \( x = 0 \). Now if \( {dx} \neq 0 \), then \[ \frac{f\left( {0 + {dx}}\right) - f\left( 0\right) }{dx} = \frac{{\left( dx\right) }^{\frac{2}{3}}}{dx} = \f...
Yes
If \( f\left( x\right) = \sqrt{x} \), then, as we have seen above, for any \( x > 0 \) and any nonzero infinitesimal \( {dx} \),
\[ f\left( {x + {dx}}\right) - f\left( x\right) = \sqrt{x + {dx}} - \sqrt{x} \] \[ = \left( {\sqrt{x + {dx}} - \sqrt{x}}\right) \frac{\sqrt{x + {dx}} + \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x + {dx}} + \sqrt{x}} \] \[ = \frac{\left( {x + {dx}}\right) - x}{\sqrt{x + {dx}} + \sqrt{x}} \] \[ = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x + {dx}} + \sqrt{x}}. \] It now f...
Yes
The function \( f\left( x\right) = \sqrt{x} \) is differentiable on \( \left( {0,\infty }\right) \) .
Note that \( f \) is not differentiable at \( x = 0 \) since \( f\left( {0 + {dx}}\right) = f\left( {dx}\right) \) is not defined for all infinitesimals \( {dx} \).
Yes
Theorem 1.7.2. If \( f \) and \( g \) are both differentiable and \( s\left( x\right) = f\left( x\right) + g\left( x\right) \) , then

Yes
If \( y = {x}^{2} + \sqrt{x} \), then, using our results from the previous section,
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left( {x}^{2}\right) + \frac{d}{dx}\left( \sqrt{x}\right) = {2x} + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}. \]
Yes
Theorem 1.7.3. If \( c \) is a real constant, \( f \) is differentiable, and \( g\left( x\right) = {cf}\left( x\right) \) , then

Yes
Example 1.7.3. If \( y = 5{x}^{2} \), then
\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 5\frac{d}{dx}\left( {x}^{2}\right) = 5\left( {2x}\right) = {10x}. \]
Yes
Theorem 1.7.4. If \( f \) and \( g \) are both differentiable and \( p\left( x\right) = f\left( x\right) g\left( x\right) \), then
\[ {p}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = f\left( x\right) {g}^{\prime }\left( x\right) + g\left( x\right) {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) . \]
Yes
We may use the product rule to find a formula for the derivative of a positive integer power of \( x \) .
We first note that if \( y = x \), then, for any infinitesimal \( {dx} \), \[ {dy} = \left( {x + {dx}}\right) - x = {dx} \] and so, if \( {dx} \neq 0 \), \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dx}{dx} = 1 \] Thus we have \[ \frac{d}{dx}x = 1 \] (1.7.18) as we should expect, since \( y = x \) implies that \( y \) changes at exactly t...
Yes
When \( n = {34} \), the power rule shows that
\[ \frac{d}{dx}{x}^{34} = {34}{x}^{33} \]
Yes
Example 1.7.6. If \( f\left( x\right) = {14}{x}^{5} \), then, combining the power rule with our result for constant multiples,
\[ {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = {14}\left( {5{x}^{4}}\right) = {70}{x}^{4}. \]
Yes
If \( n < 0 \) is an integer, then
\( \frac{d}{dx}{x}^{n} = \frac{d}{dx}\left( \frac{1}{{x}^{-n}}\right) = - \frac{1}{{x}^{-{2n}}} \cdot \left( {-n{x}^{-n - 1}}\right) = n{x}^{n - 1}. \)
Yes
If \( f\left( x\right) = 3{x}^{2} - \frac{5}{{x}^{7}} \) then find \( f'\left( x\right) \).
then \( f\left( x\right) = 3{x}^{2} - 5{x}^{-7} \), and so \[ {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = {6x} + {35}{x}^{-8} = {6x} + \frac{35}{{x}^{8}}. \]
Yes
Theorem 1.7.8. If \( f \) and \( g \) are differentiable, \( g\left( x\right) \neq 0 \), and\n\n\[ q\left( x\right) = \frac{f\left( x\right) }{g\left( x\right) } \]\n\n(1.7.36)\n\nthen\n\n\[ {q}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = \frac{g\left( x\right) {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) - f\left( x\right) {g}^{\prime }\left( x\right...
\[ {q}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = \frac{g\left( x\right) {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) - f\left( x\right) {g}^{\prime }\left( x\right) }{{\left( g\left( x\right) \right) }^{2}}. \]

If\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \frac{3{x}^{2} - {6x} + 4}{{x}^{2} + 1} \]\n\nthen\n\n\[ {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = \frac{\left( {{x}^{2} + 1}\right) \left( {{6x} - 6}\right) - \left( {3{x}^{2} - {6x} + 4}\right) \left( {2x}\right) }{{\left( {x}^{2} + 1\right) }^{2}} \]
\n\n\[ = \frac{6{x}^{3} - 6{x}^{2} + {6x} - 6 - 6{x}^{3} + {12}{x}^{2} - {8x}}{{\left( {x}^{2} + 1\right) }^{2}} \]\n\n\[ = \frac{6{x}^{2} - {2x} - 6}{{\left( {x}^{2} + 1\right) }^{2}}. \]
Yes
Example 1.7.12. We may use either 1.7.30 or 1.7.37 to differentiate\n\n\[ y = \frac{5}{{x}^{2} + 1}. \]
In either case, we obtain\n\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{5}{{\left( {x}^{2} + 1\right) }^{2}}\frac{d}{dx}\left( {{x}^{2} + 1}\right) = - \frac{10x}{{\left( {x}^{2} + 1\right) }^{2}}. \]

Theorem 1.7.9. If \( y \) is a differentiable function of \( u \) and \( u \) is a differentiable function of \( x \), then\n\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du}\frac{du}{dx} \]
Not that if we let \( y = f\left( u\right), u = g\left( x\right) \), and\n\n\[ h\left( x\right) = f \circ g\left( x\right) = f\left( {g\left( x\right) }\right) ,\]\n\nthen\n\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = {h}^{\prime }\left( x\right) ,\frac{dy}{du} = {f}^{\prime }\left( {g\left( x\right) }\right) ,\text{ and }\frac{du}{dx} = {g}^...

If \( y = 3{u}^{2} \) and \( u = {2x} + 1 \), then
\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{du}\frac{du}{dx} = \left( {6u}\right) \left( 2\right) = {12u} = {24x} + {12}. \]\n\nWe may verify this result by first finding \( y \) directly in terms of \( x \), namely,\n\n\[ y = 3{u}^{2} = 3{\left( 2x + 1\right) }^{2} = 3\left( {4{x}^{2} + {4x} + 1}\right) = {12}{x}^{2} + {12x} + 3, ...

Since\n\n\[ \n{f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\text{ and }{g}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = {2x}, \n\]\n\nit follows that\n\n\[ \n{h}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = {f}^{\prime }\left( {g\left( x\right) }\right) {g}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{{x}^{2} + 1}} \cdot {2x} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{{x}^{2} ...

That is, suppose we let \( x = \sin \left( z\right) \) for \( 0 \leq z \leq \frac{\pi }{2} \)...

Let \( C \) be the circle with equation \( {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1 \) and let \( L \) be the length of the shorter arc of \( C \) between \( \left( {-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\right) \) and \( \left( {\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\right) \) (see Figure 2.6.2). Since the circumference of \( C \) is \...
Now \( y = \sqrt{1 - {x}^{2}} \), so\n\n\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2}{\left( 1 - {x}^{2}\right) }^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left( {-{2x}}\right) = - \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - {x}^{2}}}. \]\n\nHence\n\n\[ \sqrt{1 + {\left( \frac{dy}{dx}\right) }^{2}} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{{x}^{2}}{1 - {x}^{2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1 - {x}^{2} + {x}^{2}}{1 - {x}^{...

If \( f\left( t\right) = {e}^{5t} \), then \( f \) is the composition of \( h\left( t\right) = {5t} \) and \( g\left( u\right) = {e}^{u} \) . Hence, using the chain rule,
\[ {f}^{\prime }\left( t\right) = {g}^{\prime }\left( {h\left( t\right) }\right) {h}^{\prime }\left( t\right) = {e}^{5t} \cdot 5 = 5{e}^{5t}. \]

Example 2.7.2. If \( f\left( x\right) = 6{e}^{-{x}^{2}} \), then
\[ {f}^{\prime }\left( x\right) = - {12x}{e}^{-{x}^{2}}. \]

\[ {\int }_{0}^{1}{e}^{-t}{dt} = - {\left. {e}^{-t}\right| }_{0}^{1} = - {e}^{-1} + {e}^{0} = 1 - {e}^{-1} \approx {0.6321}. \]
\[ {\int }_{0}^{1}{e}^{-t}{dt} = - {\left. {e}^{-t}\right| }_{0}^{1} = - {e}^{-1} + {e}^{0} = 1 - {e}^{-1} \approx {0.6321}. \]

To evaluate\n\n\[ \int x{e}^{-{x}^{2}}{dx} \]
we will use the change of variable\n\n\[ u = - {x}^{2} \]\n\n\[ {du} = - {2xdx} \]\n\nThen\n\n\[ \int x{e}^{-2}{dx} = - \frac{1}{2}\int {e}^{u}{du} = - \frac{1}{2}{e}^{u} + c = - \frac{1}{2}{e}^{-{x}^{2}} + c. \]
No
To evaluate\n\n\\[ \n\\int x{e}^{-{2x}}{dx} \n\\]
we will use integration by parts:\n\n\\[ \nu = x\\;{dv} = {e}^{-{2x}}{dx} \n\\]\n\n\\[ \n{du} = {dx}\\;v = - \\frac{1}{2}{e}^{-{2x}}. \n\\]\n\nThen\n\n\\[ \n\\int x{e}^{-{2x}}{dx} = - \\frac{1}{2}x{e}^{-{2x}} + \\frac{1}{2}\\int {e}^{-{2x}}{dx} = - \\frac{1}{2}x{e}^{-{2x}} - \\frac{1}{4}{e}^{-{2x}} + c. \n\\]
