Applications of Derivatives:
• Slope of tangent to a curve
• Instantaneous Rate of change

Notations:

where 'y' is the dependent variable and 'x' is the independent variable.
It means y depends on x.

Rules for Finding Derivatives:

1. Power Rule:

Let y=
Differentiate w.r.t 'x' on both sides of the equation

*Example:
Let y=
Solution:
Differentiate w.r.t to 'x' on both sides

2. Constant Rule:

Let y c where y f x and c is any constant e g ,2,3…

Differentiate w.r.t 'x' on both sides

*Derivative of a constant is always zero

*Example 1:
Let y=100 then find

Solution:

Differentiate w.r.t 'x' on both sides
