Basic Calculus (Module 9) - Intermediate Value Theorem
2. KEEP YOUR
MICROPHONE
ON MUTE
Reduce background noise and distractions.
Microphones can pick up background sounds that may not
bother you but may bother your classmates and teacher. If you
want to say something, raise your hand and wait for the teacher
to acknowledge you before unmuting.
3. TURN ON YOUR
CAMERA
It sends a message that you are engaged in
class.
It's also easier to respond to teachers with a quick nod is than
typing into the chat or unmuting. You'll also stand out in
classes where most students do not have their camera on.
4. BE FULLY PRESENT
Pay attention and participate actively.
Don't play games on your phone, check your social media or watch
videos. Focus on the event, take notes and participate in the
discussion. Also, avoid constantly moving away from your study
area because that may be distracting to your teacher and
classmates.

In this lesson you will:
• apply the definition of the derivative of a
function at a given number.
OBJECTIVES:
8. Definition of Derivative
The derivative of a function 𝑓(𝑥) denoted 𝑓 ′(𝑥) at any 𝑥
in the domain of the given function is defined as
𝑓′
𝑥 = lim
∆𝑥→0
∆𝑥
∆𝑦
= lim
ℎ→0
𝑓 𝑥 + ℎ − 𝑓(𝑥)
ℎ
13. I. DERIVATIVE OF A CONSTANT FUNCTION
● The graph of a horizontal function is a horizontal
line, and a horizontal line has zero slope. Recall
that the derivative measures the slope of the
tangent line, and so the derivative of a constant
term is zero.
● Example : 𝑦 = 300,000 then the 1st derivative is
𝑦’ = 0
14. I. DERIVATIVE OF A POWER FUNCTION
A function of the form : 𝑦 = 𝑥𝑛
where n is a real number,
is called a power function. In general, this is called the
POWER RULE
If 𝒚 = 𝒙𝒏
then, 𝒚′
= 𝒏𝒙𝒏−𝟏
19. CONSTANT MULTIPLE RULE
States that the derivative of a constant times a
differentiable function is the constant times the
derivative of the function.
If 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑓(𝑥) where k is constant ( k is the numerical
coefficient of the function of x ) ; then :
𝑦 ‘ = 𝑘 • 𝑓 ‘ ( 𝑥 )

25. DERIVATIVE OF EXPONENTIAL AND LOGARITHMIC
FUNCTIONS
● In the previous study of the different function graphs you have learned that
exponential functions play an important role in modeling population
growth and the decay of radioactive materials. Logarithmic functions can
help rescale large quantities and are particularly helpful for rewriting
complicated expressions.
● Just as when we found the derivatives of algebraic functions, we can also
find the derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions using
formulas.
