2) Derivative is also a function for SLOPE of a function e.g. dy/dx=d(x^2)/dx=2x To find the slope at P(3,9) put P into 2x d(x^2)/dx|(3,9) =2(3) =6 We say the slope of y=x^2 at P(3,9) is 6 Derivative of a horizontal line is always 0 (dk/dx=0) In mechanics, s=ut+(1/2)at^2 we know that the slope of the graph means the velocity of motion in fact we can use differentiation to find the equation for v v =ds/dt =lim Δs/Δt Δt→0 =lim [u(t+Δt) +(1/2)a(t+Δt)^2 -ut -(1/2)at^2] /Δt Δt→0 =lim [ut+uΔt +(1/2)at^2 +atΔt +(1/2)a(Δt)^2 -ut -(1/2)at^2] /Δt Δt→0 =lim [uΔt +atΔt +(1/2)a(Δt)^2] /Δt Δt→0 =lim [u +at +(1/2)aΔt] Δt→0 =u+at You also know that the equation is for UNIFORMED accelerated motion,then, again,the slope of the graph means the acceleration of motion v=u+at represents a straight line Derivative of a straight line is a constant for y=mx+c the derivative is m |
