Coefficient of x is…
Any term that is in-front of x, can be a letter aswell
(x + h) ^3
x^3 + 3x^2h + 3xh^2 + h^3
Gradient on differentiation
as h➡️0, 6xh➡️0, 2h^2➡️0
so f’(x)= 6x^2 , whatever has no H
Differentiate from first principles
DY/DX = f’(x)= lim = equation
h➡️0
Gradient at end after h➡️0
f’(x)= 6x2
ax^n
DY/DX =anx^n-1
Stationary point…
Gradient of 0
Decreasing function
Dy/dx < 0
Increasing
Dy/dx > 0
Differentiate once
DY/DX to find gradient
Differentiate twice
D^2y / dx^2
Min or max

Differentiating e^x

Drawing 4e^0.5x + 3
It would be increasing
Asymptote at 3
It’s only decreasing if it was y=0.5^x
Y= -e^x
Same as e^x but reflection in x axis
F(-x)
e^-x
Reflect in y axis

What does the 1000 in e^x + 1000 mean
It will always be more than 1000
Show that it is increasing by…
Rate of change
Differentiate
What is the significance of a sign at the start of the derivative
Decreases exponentially
