Definition
Derivative of a function f is another function f 0 whose value at any
number x
f (x + h) − f (x)
f 0 (x) = lim (1)
h→0 h
f 0 (kx) = kf 0 (x)

5 if f (0) = 4, f 0 (0) = −1, g (0) = −3, g 0 = 5, find (f ·g )0 (0)
6 Find the equation of tangent line to y = x 2 + 2x + 2 at (1, 1)
Answer
1. f (x) = (3x 6 + 8)5 , let u = 3x 6 + 8, so y = u 5
dy du
= 5u 4 , = 18x 5

= 5u 4 ·18x 5
= 90x 5 (3x 6 + 8)4
f 0 (x) = 5x 4 + 8x 3 − 24x 2 + 6x
f 00 (x) = 20x 3 + 24x 2 − 48x + 6
f 000 (x) = 60x 2 + 48x − 48

1 If f (x) = x 6 − 2x 5 + x 2 and g (x) = 5
1+x , find f (x) and g 5 (x)
2 If f (x) = sin x and g (x) = cos x, find f 5 (x) and g 5 (x)
Definition
Let S domain f contain c. We say that
(i) f (c) is maximum value of f in S, if f (c)≥f (x) for all x in S
(ii) f (c) is minimum value of f in S, if f (c)≤f (x) for all x in S
(iii) f (c) is extreme value of f on S, if it is either the maximum value or
the minimum value
