Function of a function
Suppose that we know that y is a function of u and that u is a function of x, how do we find the derivative of y with respect to x?
Given that y = f(x) and u = h(x)
What is dy/dx?
dy/dx = du/dx x dy/du , this is called the chain rule

PRODUCT RULE
We shall consider the derivative of y = uv where u and v are function of x.
Let y = uv
Then y +
Then y + ∂y = (u +∂u )(v + ∂v)
= uv + u∂v + v∂u +∂u∂v
∂y = uv + u∂v + v∂u+ ∂u∂v – uv
∂y= u∂v + v∂u + ∂u∂v
∂y/∂x = u ∂v + v∂u + ∂u∂v
∂x ∂x ∂x
As ∂x ( 0 , ∂u( 0 , ∂v( 0

DIFFERENTIATION OF FUNCTIONS
Derivative of a function is positive over the range where it is increasing and negative where it is decreasing.
Example 1: Find the range of values of x for which the function 2x[sup]3[/sup] + 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 12x + 5 is increasing.
Solution
Let y = 2x[sup]3[/sup] + 3x[sup]2 [/sup]– 12x + 5
Then [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 6x[sup]2[/sup] + 6x – 12
= 6(x2 + x -2)
= 6(x + 2)(x – 1)
The function is increasing when dy/dx > 0
(x + 2)(x – 1) > 0 when x >1 or when x < -2.
So the function is increasing when x > 1 or when x < -2
But function is decreasing when dy/dx < 0

SPECIFIC TOPIC: STATIONARY POINTS
OBJECTIVE: At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Differentiate function in its stationary point
CONTENT: STATIONARY POINTS
A point on a curve at which [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 is called a stationary point.
And the value of the function represented by the curve at that point is called its stationary value.
At such points the tangent is parallel to the x- axis. To find the stationary points let [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 and solve the resulting equation.
Example 1: Find the stationary points of the function 4x3 + 15x2 – 18x + 7
Solution
For this function f’(x) = 12x2 + 30x1 – 18
= 6(2x2 + 5x – 3)
=6(2x – 1)(x + 3)
Hence f’(x) = 0 when x = ½ or -3
The function has two stationary points and its stationary values (at these points) are 9/4 and 88.

CONTENT: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM POINTS
Example 1: Find the stationary points of y = 4x[sup]3 [/sup]– 3x[sup]2[/sup] – 6x + 1 and distinguish between them
Solution
[sup]Dy[/sup]/[sub]dx [/sub]= 12x[sup]2[/sup] – 6x – 6
= 6(2x2 – x – 1)
= 6(2x + 1)(x – 1)
So [sup]dy[/sup]/[sub]dx[/sub] = 0 when x = 1 or – ½ . Hence there are two stationary points.
At point x = - ½
= 4(- ½ )3 – 3(- ½ )2 – 6( - ½ ) + 1
= 2 ¾
At point x = 1
= 4(1)3 – 3(1)2 – 6(1) + 1
Y = - 4
Hence at x = - ½ is maximum and ta x = 1 is minimum
