Welcome to the course material on Differentiation in Calculus. In this topic, we delve into the fundamental concept of finding the rate at which a function changes. This process, known as differentiation, is crucial in various real-world applications such as physics, engineering, economics, and many other fields.

One of the primary objectives of this topic is to understand the concept of finding the derivative of a function. The derivative gives us information about how the function is changing at any given point. It helps us determine the slope of the tangent line to the curve at a specific point and provides insights into the behavior of the function.

When differentiating, we are essentially finding the rate of change of the function with respect to its input variable. This rate of change can give us vital information about the behavior of the function, whether it is increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant at a certain point.

Moreover, the process of differentiation allows us to identify critical points such as local maxima and minima of a function. These points are significant in optimizing functions and solving real-world problems where we aim to maximize or minimize certain quantities.

As we progress through this course material, we will also explore different techniques for differentiating various types of functions, including explicit algebraic functions and simple trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, and tangent. Understanding the differentiation rules for these functions is essential in solving more complex problems and applying calculus in diverse scenarios.

By the end of this course material, you will be adept at finding derivatives, understanding their significance, and applying differentiation to solve a wide range of mathematical problems. Let's embark on this journey of exploring the fascinating world of calculus and differentiation!

In a right angled triangle, if tan $θ$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ . What is cos $θ$ - sin $θ$ ?

$\frac{2}{3}$

\frac{3}{5}

\frac{1}{5}

\frac{4}{5}

Antwoorddetails

tan $θ$ = $\frac{3}{4}$
from Pythagoras tippet, the hypotenus is T
i.e. 3, 4, 5.
then sin $θ$ = $\frac{3}{5}$ and cos $θ$ = $\frac{4}{3}$
cos $θ$ - sin $θ$
$\frac{4}{5}$ - $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$

The roots of a quadratic equation in x, are -m and 2n. Fine equation.

x² - x(2n-m) – 2mn = 0

x² + x(2n - m) - 2mn = 0

x² + x(m - 2n) + 2mn = 0

X² + x (m + 2n ) + 2mn = 0

x² - x (m - 2n) - 2mn = 0
