integrals, are very useful when working with rates that are not
constant. A bungee jumper experiences varying rates of descent
and ascent, as well as changing acceleration, depending on her
position during the jump.

Estimate Limits at a Point
•
Calculus centers around two fundamental problems:
finding the equation of a line tangent to the graph of a function at a point, and
finding the area between the graph of a function and the x-axis.
Fundamental to the solutions of each of these
problems is an understanding of the concept of
a limit. Recall that if f (x) approaches a unique
value L as x approaches c from either side, then
the limit of f (x) as x approaches c is L, written
​lim​f (x) = L.
x→c ​
You can apply this description to estimate the limit of a function f (x) as x approaches a fixed value c
or ​lim​​f (x) by using a graph or making a table of values.
x→c
Example 1 Estimate a Limit = f (c )
Estimate   
​  lim ​ (-3x + 1) using a graph. Support your conjecture using a table of values.

Analyze Graphically
The graph of f (x) = -3x + 1 suggests that as x gets closer to 2,
the corresponding function value gets closer to -5. Therefore,
we can estimate that ​lim​​ (-3x + 1) is -5.

It is important to understand that a limit is not about what happens at the number that x is
approaching. Instead, a limit is about what happens near or close to that number.
643
In finding limits using a table or a graph, we have looked at the value of f (x) as x approaches c from
each side. We can describe the behavior of a graph from the left and right of x more concisely in
terms of one-sided limits.
KeyConcept One-Sided Limits
ReadingMath
One-Sided Limits The notation
​lim​ ​f (x ) can also be read as the
x→​c ​​
limit of f (x ) as x approaches c
from below. The notation l​im+​ ​f(x)
x→​c ​ ​
can also be read as the limit of
f (x ) as x approaches c from
above.
Left-Hand Limit
Right-Hand Limit
If the value of f (x ) approaches a unique number L​ 1​​ as x
approaches c from the left, then
If the value of f (x ) approaches a unique number L​ 2​ ​ as x
approaches c from the right, then
​  lim-​ ​f (x ) = ​L1​​, which is read
​  lim+​ ​f (x ) = ​L2​ ​, which is read
The limit of f ( x ) as x approaches c
from the left is L​ 1​​.
The limit of f ( x ) as x approaches c
from the right is L​ 2​ ​
x→​c ​ ​
x→​c ​ ​
Using these definitions, we can state more concisely what it means for a two-sided limit to exist.
KeyConcept Existence of a Limit at a Point
The limit of a function f (x ) as x approaches c exists if and only if both one-sided limits exist and are equal. That is, if
​  lim ​f (x ) = ​  lim+​ ​f (x ) = L, then l​im​​ f (x ) = L.

Without Bound For f (x ) to
increase or decrease without
bound as x → c means that by
choosing an x-value arbitrarily
close to c, you can obtain a
function value with an absolute
value that is as great as you want.
The closer to c this x-value is
chosen, the greater |f (x )| is.

The three most common reasons why the limit of a function fails to exist at a point are summarized
below.
ConceptSummary Why Limits at a Point Do Not Exist
The limit of f (x ) as x approaches c does not exist if:
•
•
•
2
f (x) approaches a different value from the left of c than from the right,
f (x) increases or decreases without bound from the left and/or the right of c, or
f (x) oscillates between two fixed values.
Estimate Limits at Infinity
To this point, limits have been used to describe how a
function f (x) behaves as x approaches a fixed value c. You learned that limits can also be
used to describe the end behavior of a function, that is, how a function behaves as x increases or
decreases without bound. The notation for such limits is summarized below.
KeyConcept Limits at Infinity
•
If the value of f (x ) approaches a unique number L​ 1​​ as x increases, then
​  lim​ ​f (x ) = ​L 1​​, which is read the limit of f ( x ) as x approaches infinity is L​ 1​​.
x→∞
If the value of f (x ) approaches a unique number L​ 2​ ​ as x decreases, then
​  lim​ ​f (x ) = ​L 2​ ​, which is read the limit of f ( x ) as x approaches negative infinity is L​ ​2​.
x→-∞
You learned that unbounded behavior that can be described by ∞ or -∞ indicates the location
of a vertical asymptote. You also learned that the existence of a limit at infinity indicates the location
of a horizontal asymptote. That is,
•
•
x = c is a vertical asymptote of the graph of f (x) if ​ lim-​​f (x) = ±∞ or ​ lim+​​f (x) = ±∞, and
x→​c ​ ​
x→​c ​ ​
y = c is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of f (x) if ​  lim​ ​f (x) = c or ​ lim​​f (x) = c.

Oscillating Behavior
Do not assume that because a
function f (x ) exhibits oscillating
behavior, it has no limit as x
approaches either ∞ or -∞.
If the oscillations fluctuate
between two fixed values or are
unbounded, then the limit does
not exist. If, however, the
oscillations diminish and
approach a fixed value, then the
limit does exist.

The graph shows that when t = 0, θ (t) ≈ 0.785 or

that​  lim​​θ (t) is 0.

Interpret the Result
A limit of 0 in this situation indicates that the angle the door makes with its closed position tends

Notice that for each of the functions in Example 1, the limit of f (x) as x approaches c is the same
value that you would get if you calculated f (c). While this is not true of every function, it is true
of polynomial functions and of rational functions as described at the top of the next page.

Well-Behaved Functions
Continuous functions such as
polynomial functions are
considered well-behaved, since
limits of these functions at any
point can be found by direct
substitution. The limits of functions
that are not well-behaved over
their entire domain can still be
found using this method, so long
as the function is continuous at
the domain value in question.

It is customary to describe the resulting fraction _
​ 0 ​as having an
0
indeterminate form because you cannot determine the limit of
the function with 0 in the denominator. A limit of this type may
exist and have a real number value, or it may not exist, possibly
diverging to ∞ or -∞. In this case, from the graph of f (x) = _

While an indeterminate form limit results from an incorrect application of limit properties or
theorems, an analysis of this form can provide a clue as to what technique should be applied to
find a limit.
If you evaluate the limit of a rational function and reach the indeterminate form _
​ 0 ​, you should try

to simplify the expression algebraically by factoring and dividing out a common factor.

While this method of dividing out a common factor is valid, it requires some justification. In
Example 3a, dividing out a common factor from f (x) resulted in a new function, g (x), where
f(x) = _
​  x + 4 ​ and g(x) = x - 5.
x​ 2​ ​ - x - 20
These two functions yield the same function values for every x except when x = -4. If two
functions differ only at a value c in their domain, their limits as x approaches c are the same. This
is because the value of a limit at a point is not dependent on the value of the function at that point.
​  x + 4 ​ =   
​  lim ​ (x - 5).
Therefore,   
​  lim ​ _

Another technique to find limits that have indeterminate form is to rationalize the numerator or

Graphing Technology Lab
The Slope of a Curve
The slope of a line as a constant rate of change is a familiar concept. General curves do not have a constant rate of
change because the slope is different at every point on the graph.
However, the graphs of most functions are
locally linear. That is, if you examine the
graph of a function on a very small interval,
it will appear linear.
By looking at successive secant lines, it is
possible to apply slope to curves.
Activity
Secant Lines
Estimate the slope of the graph of y = (x - 2​) ​3​ + 1 at (3, 2).
Step 1 Enter y = (x - 2​) ​3​ + 1 in f1. Then calculate the slope
of the line secant to the graph of y = (x - 2​) ​3​ + 1
through x = 2 and x = 4.
The slope of the secant line is 4.
Step 2 Find the slope of the line secant to the graph of
y = (​​ x - 2)3​​ ​ + 1 through x = 2.5 and x = 3.5.
The slope of the secant line is 3.25.
Step 3 Find the slope of the line secant to the graph of
y = (​​ x - 2)​​3​ + 1 through x = 2.8 and x = 3.2.
The slope of the secant line is 3.04.

Step 4 Find the slope of 3 more secant lines on
decreasing intervals around (3, 2).
5. Sample answer:
As the points through
which a secant line
passes approach
(a, b), the secant line
gets closer and closer
to the line tangent to
the function at (a, b).
6. Sample answer: Find
the limit of the slopes
of the secants as they
approach the tangent
to the curve at the
given point.
As the interval around (3, 2) decreases, the slope of the secant line approaches 3. So, the slope
of y = (x - 2​) 3​ ​ + 1 at (3, 2) is about 3.

Tangent Lines and Velocity
Why?
Find instantaneous
rates of change by
calculating slopes of
tangent lines.
When a skydiver exits a plane, gravity causes the speed
of his or her fall to increase. For this reason, the velocity
of the sky diver at each instant before terminal velocity
is achieved or the parachute is opened varies.
Find average and
instantaneous
velocity.

Tangent Lines
You calculated the average rate of change between two points on the graph of a
nonlinear function by finding the slope of the secant line through these points. In this lesson, we
develop a way to find the slope of such functions at one instant or point on the graph.
The graphs below show successively better approximations of the slope of y = ​x ​2​at (1, 1) using secant
lines.
Figure 11.3.2
Figure 11.3.1
Figure 11.3.3
Notice as the rightmost point moves closer and closer to (1, 1), the secant line provides a better
linear approximation of the curve near that point. We call the best of these linear approximations
the tangent line to the graph at (1, 1). The slope of this line represents the rate of change in the
slope of the curve at that instant. To define each of these terms more precisely, we use limits.
(x + h) - x
h
This expression is called the difference quotient.
Figure 11.3.4
As the second point approaches the first, or as h → 0, the secant line approaches the tangent line at
(x, f (x)). We define the slope of the tangent line at x, which represents the instantaneous rate of
change of the function at that point, by finding the limits of the slopes of the secant lines as h → 0.
KeyConcept Instantaneous Rate of Change
The instantaneous rate of change of the graph of f (x ) at the point (x, f (x )) is the slope m of the tangent line at (x, f (x )) given

Joggie Botma/Alamy
To define the slope of the tangent line to y = f (x) at the
point (x, f (x)), find the slope of the secant line through
this point and one other point on the curve. Let the
x-coordinate of the second point be x + h for some small
value of h. The corresponding y-coordinate for this point
is then f (x + h), as shown in Figure 11.3.4. The slope of the
secant line through these two point is given by
You can use this expression to find the slope of the tangent line to a graph for a specified point.

Instantaneous Velocity
You calculated the average speed of a dropped object by dividing
the distance traveled by the time it took for the object to cover that distance. Velocity is speed with
the added dimension of direction. You can calculate average velocity using the same approach that you
used when calculating average speed.

First, find the total distance traveled by the runner for a = 2 and b = 3.

3. WATER BALLOON A water balloon is propelled straight up using a launcher. The height of the
balloon in meters t seconds after it is launched can be defined by d(t) = 2 + 20t - 5​t 2​ ​. What was
the balloon’s average velocity between t = 1 and 2? 5 m/s
Looking more closely at Example 3, we can see that the velocity was
found by calculating the slope of the secant line that connects the
two points (2, 18.8) and (3, 24.3), as shown in the graph. The velocity
that was calculated is the average velocity traveled by the runner
over a period of time and does not represent the instantaneous
velocity, the velocity or speed the runner achieved at a specific point
in time.
KeyConcept Instantaneous Velocity

The derivative of f (x) is f ′(x) = 8x - 5. Evaluate f ′(x) for x = 1 and 5.
To this point, you have had to evaluate limits as they approach 0 in order to calculate derivatives, slopes
of tangent lines, and instantaneous velocity. A very helpful rule for simplifying this process and for

You found relative and absolute extrema of functions graphically and numerically. On a closed interval,
these values can be found using the derivative and the following theorem.
KeyConcept Extreme Value Theorem
If a function f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b ], then f (x ) attains
both a maximum and a minimum on [a, b ].
Relative extrema occur only at critical points where the slope of the tangent line, the derivative of
the function, is 0 or undefined. To locate the maximum and minimum of a polynomial function
f (x) on [a, b], evaluate the function at a, b, and at any values x in [a, b] for which f ‘(x) = 0.

of a product. The marginal cost equation is
the derivative of the actual cost equation.
The marginal cost function for a particular

Area Under a Curve In geometry, you learned how to calculate the area of a basic figure, such
as a triangle, a rectangle, or a regular polygon. You also learned how to calculate the area of a
composite figure, that is, a region comprising basic shapes. However, many regions are not a collection
of the basic shapes. As a result, you need a general approach for calculating the area of any twodimensional figure.
We can approximate the area of an irregular shape by using a basic figure with a known formula for
area, the rectangle. For example, consider the graph of f (x) = -​x 2​ ​ + 12x on the interval [0, 12]. We can
approximate the area between the curve and the x-axis using rectangles of equal width.
Example 1 Area Under a Curve Using Rectangles
Approximate the area between the curve f (x) = -​x ​2​ + 12x and the x-axis on the interval [0, 12]
using 4, 6, and 12 rectangles. Use the right endpoint of each rectangle to determine the height.
Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education
Mark Dierker/McGraw-Hill Education
Using the figures from below for reference, notice that the rectangles were drawn with a height equal
to f (x) at each right endpoint. For example, the heights of the rectangles in the first figure are f (3),
f (6), f (9), and f (12). We can use these heights and the length of the base of each rectangle to
approximate the area under the curve.
Area using 4 rectangles
​R ​1​ = 3 · f (3) or 81
​R 2​ ​ = 3 · f (6) or 108
​R ​3​ = 3 · f (9) or 81
​R ​4​ = 3 · f (12) or 0
total area = 270
Area using 6 rectangles
​R ​1​ = 2 · f (2) or 40
​R 2​ ​ = 2 · f (4) or 64
​R ​3​ = 2 · f (6) or 72
​R ​4​ = 2 · f (8) or 64
​R ​5​ = 2 · f (10) or 40
​R 6​ ​ = 2 · f (12) or 0
total area = 280
The approximation for the area under the curve using 4, 6,
and 12 rectangles is 270 square units, 280 square units, and
286 square units, respectively.
Area using 12 rectangles
​R ​1​ = 1 · f (1) or 11
​R ​2​ = 1 · f (2) or 20
​R ​3​ = 1 · f (3) or 27
​R ​4​ = 1 · f (4) or 32
​R ​5​ = 1 · f (5) or 35
​R 6​ ​ = 1 · f (6) or 36
​R ​7​ = 1 · f (7) or 35

1. Approximate the area between the curve f (x) = -​x 2​ ​ + 24x and the x-axis on the interval
[0, 24] using 6, 8, and 12 rectangles. Use the right endpoint of each rectangle to determine
the height.
6 rectangles = 2240 unit​s ​2​; 8 rectangles = 2268 unit​s ​2​; 12 rectangles = 2288 unit​s ​2​
Notice that the thinner the rectangles are, the better they fit the region, and the better their total area
approximates the area of the region. Also, the rectangles were drawn so that the right endpoint of
each one evaluated at f (x) represents the height. The left endpoints may also be used to determine
the height of each rectangle and can produce a different result for the approximated area.
Using right or left endpoints may result in adding or excluding area that does or does not lie
between the curve and the x-axis. In some cases, better approximations may be obtained by
calculating the area using both left and right endpoints and then averaging the results.
Example 2 Area Under a Curve Using Left and Right Endpoints
Approximate the area between the curve f (x) = ​x 2​ ​and the x-axis on the interval [0, 4] by first
using the right endpoints and then by using the left endpoints of the rectangles. Use
rectangles with a width of 1.
Using right endpoints for the height of each rectangle produces four rectangles with a width of
1 unit (Figure 11.5.1). Using left endpoints for the height of each rectangle produces four
rectangles with a width of 1 unit (Figure 11.5.2).
Figure 11.5.1
Area using right endpoints
​R ​1​ = 1 · f (1) or 1
​R ​2​ = 1 · f (2) or 4
​R ​3​ = 1 · f (3) or 9
Figure 11.5.2
Area using left endpoints
​R ​1​ = 1 · f (0) or 0
​R ​2​ = 1 · f (1) or 1
​R ​4​ = 1 · f (4) or 16
​R ​3​ = 1 · f (2) or 4
​R ​4​ = 1 · f (3) or 9
total area = 30
total area = 14
The area using the right and left endpoints is 30 and 14 square units, respectively. We now have
lower and upper estimates for the area of the region, 14 < area < 30. Averaging the two areas would
give a better approximation of 22 square units.
right endpoint = 15.4 unit​s ​2​; left endpoint = 25 unit​s ​2;​
average = 20.2 unit​s ​2​

Any point within the width of the rectangles may be used as the heights when approximating the
area between the graph of a curve and the x-axis. The most commonly used are the left endpoints,
the right endpoints, and the midpoints.

Integration As we saw in Example 1, as the rectangles get thinner, their total area
approaches the exact area of the region under the curve. We can conclude that the area of the
region under a curve is the limit of the total area of the rectangles as the widths of the rectangles
approach 0.

using the right endpoints and then by using the left endpoints. Use rectangles with a width of
1 unit. Then find the average of the two approximations.
In the figure, the interval from a to b has been subdivided into
n equal subintervals. This is called a regular partition. The
length of the entire interval from a to b is b - a, so the width of
each of the n rectangles is _
​  n ​and is denoted ∆x. The height
b-a
of each rectangle at the right endpoint corresponds with the
value of the function at that point. Thus, the height of the first
rectangle is f (​x​1​), the height of the second is f (​x ​2​), and so on,
with the height of the last rectangle being f (​x​n​).

Sigma Notation
n
​​f​ (​x ​i​) ∆x is read the
i =1
s ummation of the product of f of x
sub i from 1 to n and the change
in x.
The area of each rectangle can now be calculated by taking the product of ∆x and the
corresponding height. The area of the first rectangle is f (​x ​1​)∆x, the area of the second rectangle
is f (​x ​2​)∆x, and so on. The total area A of the n rectangles is given by the sum of the areas and
can be written in sigma notation.
A = f (​x​1​)∆x + f (​x​2​)∆x + ⋯ + f (​x ​n​)∆x
Add the areas.
A = ∆x[ f (​x​1​) + f (​x​2​) + ⋯ + f (​x​n​)]

Commutative Property of Multiplication

To assist in future calculations, we can derive a formula to find any x​ ​i​. The width ∆x of each
rectangle is the distance between successive x​ ​i​-values. Consider the x-axis.
We can see that ​x​i​= a + i∆x. This formula will be useful when finding the area under the graph of any
function.
To make the width of the rectangles approach 0, we let the number of rectangles approach infinity. This
limit is called a definite integral and is given special notation.

During the initial ascent of a hot-air balloon ride,
Nahla realized that she had her brother’s cell phone
in her pocket. Before the balloon rose too high,
Nahla dropped the phone over the edge to her
brother waiting on the ground. Knowing that
the velocity of the phone could be described as
v(t ) = -10t, where t is given in seconds and
velocity is given in meters per second, Nahla was
able to determine how high she was from the
ground when she dropped the phone over the edge.

Antiderivatives and Indefinite Integrals In Lessons 11-3 and 11-4, You learned that if the
position of an object is defined as f(x) = ​x 2​ ​ + 2x, then an expression for the velocity of the object is
the derivative of f (x) or f ′(x) = 2x + 2. However, if you are given an expression for velocity, but need to
know the formula from which it was obtained, we need a way to work backward or undo the
differentiation.
In other words, if given f (x), we want to find an equation F(x) such that F′(x) = f (x). The function
F(x) is an antiderivative of f (x).
Example 1 Find Antiderivatives
Find an antiderivative for each function.
a. f (x) = 3​x 2​ ​
We need to find a function that has a derivative of 3​x 2​ ​. Recall that the derivative has an
exponent that is one less than the exponent in the original function. Therefore, F(x) will be
raised to a power of three. Also, the coefficient of a derivative is determined in part by the
exponent of the original function. F(x) = ​x 3​ ​fits this description. The derivative of ​x 3​ ​ = 3​x 3​ - 1​
or 3​x 2​ ​.
However, x​ 3​ ​is not the only function that works. The function G(x) = ​x 3​ ​ + 10 is another
because its derivative is G′(x) = ​3x 3​ - 1​ + 0 or 3​x 2​ ​. Another answer could be H(x) = ​x 3​ ​ - 37.
G(x) = ​x -8
​ ​ + 3 and H(x) = ​x -8
​ ​ - 12 are other antiderivatives.

In Example 1, notice that adding or subtracting constants to the original antiderivative produced
other antiderivatives. In fact, because the derivative of any constant is 0, adding or subtracting a
constant C to an antiderivative will not affect its derivative. Therefore, there are an infinite number
of antiderivatives for a given function. Antiderivatives that include a constant C are said to be in
general form.
690 | Lesson 11-6
Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education
​x ​ ​
Rewrite f(x) with a negative exponent, -8​x -9
​ ​. Again, the derivative has an exponent that is
one less than the exponent in the original function, so F(x) will be raised to the negative
eighth power. We can try F(x) = ​x -8
​ ​. The derivative of x​ -8
​ ​ is -8​x -8

Notice that the notation used for indefinite
integrals looks very similar to the notation used in Lesson 11-5 for definite integrals. The only
difference appears to be the lack of upper and lower limits in indefinite integrals. In fact, finding
an antiderivative of a function is a shortcut to calculating a definite integral by evaluating a
Riemann sum. This connection between definite integrals and antiderivatives is so important that
it is called the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
A by-product of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is that it makes a connection between
integrals and derivatives. Integration is the process of calculating antiderivatives, while
differentiation is the process of calculating derivatives. Thus, integration and differentiation are
inverse processes. We can use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals
without having to use limits.

Notice that when the antiderivative is evaluated at the upper and lower limits and the difference
is found, we do not have an exact value for C. However, regardless of the value of the constant,
because it is present in each antiderivative, the difference between the constants is 0. Therefore,
when evaluating definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, you can disregard
the constant term when writing the antiderivative.
693
Before evaluating an integral, determine whether it is indefinite or definite.
WatchOut!
Integrals Although the constant C
can be excluded when evaluating
definite integrals, it must be
included when evaluating
indefinite integrals because it is
part of the antiderivative.

Notice that indefinite integrals give the antiderivative of a function while definite integrals not only
give the antiderivative but also require it to be evaluated for given upper and lower limits. Thus, an
indefinite integral gives a function, the antiderivative, for finding the area under a curve for any set
of limits. The integral becomes definite when a set of limits is provided and the antiderivative can
be evaluated.

The Chain Rule
Objective
Differentiate composite
functions using the Chain
Rule.
Learning to differentiate polynomials by using the Power Rule
led to the evaluation of definite integrals. This allowed for the
calculation of the area found between a curve and the x-axis.
However, our integration work was limited to basic polynomial
functions. So, how can we calculate the areas found between
the x-axis and the curves defined by composite functions such
as h (x ) = (​x ​4​ - 3​) ​2​ or t (x ) = ​  √​x
​3​ - 4 ​?
Just as in Lesson 11-4, You must learn how to differentiate
these functions before you can integrate. Begin with h (x ). You can use the Product Rule to develop the derivative.
h (x ) = (​x ​4​ − 3​) 2​ ​
Original equation
= (​x ​4​ - 3)(​x ​4​ - 3)

Rewrite without the power.

h ′(x ) = 4​x ​ ​(​x ​ ​ - 3) + (​x ​ ​ - 3)4​x ​ ​
3
4
= 2(​x ​ ​ - 3)4​x ​ ​
Product Rule
Simplify.
Although the derivative of h(x) can be simplified further, leave it as shown in order to derive a rule for composite functions.
Activity 1 Derivative of a Composite Function
Find the derivative of k(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​3​.
Step 1
Rewrite k(x) to include the factor (​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​.
k(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3)(​x 4​ ​ − 3​) ​2​
Step 2
Let m(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3) and n(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​. Calculate the derivative of each function.
m'(x) = 4​x 3​ ​
Step 3
n'(x) = 2(​x 4​ ​ − 3)4​x 3​ ​
Power Rule
Derived above
Use the Product Rule to find k'(x).
k′(x) = m'(x)n(x) + m(x)n'(x)
2. Sample answer: The
power of h(x) is 2,
and the power of
k(x) is 3. Similar to
the Power Rule, the
exponent moves
down and becomes
a factor of the
derivative.
3. S ample answers:

3​) ​2​4x​ 3​ ​
Substitution
Simplify.
Add.
Therefore, k′(x) = 3(​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​4x​ 3​ ​.
CHECK You can use a graphing calculator to evaluate the
derivative of a function at a point. Graph k (x), and
from the CALC menu, select 6:dy/dx. After the screen
returns to the graphing window, press 1 and then
.
The value of k'(1) = 48. Now verify the answer found in
Step 3 by substituting x = 1 into k′(x).
k'(1) = 3(​1 ​4​ − 3​) ​2​4(1​) ​3​or 48 ✔
Analyze the Results
1. Make a conjecture as to why h'(x) and k'(x) have 4​x 3​ ​as a factor.
2. Make a conjecture as to why h'(x) has 2 as a factor and k'(x) has 3 as a factor.
3. Without rewriting p(x) as a product, find the derivative of p(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​4​.

4​x 3​ ​is the derivative

parentheses.
= 4​x 3​ ​(x​ 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​ + (​x 4​ ​ - 3)2(​x 4​ ​ - 3)4​x 3​ ​
Notice that for the derivatives of h(x) and k(x), each expression was multiplied by its exponent, 1 was
subtracted from its exponent, and then each expression was multiplied by the derivative of the
expression inside the parentheses.
Multiply by exponent.

= 2(​x 4​ ​ - 3)4​x 3​ ​
= 3(​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​4x​ 3​ ​
Recall that we can decompose a function. For example, h(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3​) ​2​can be written as h(x) = f [g(x)],
where f(x) = ​x 2​ ​ and g(x) = (​x 4​ ​ - 3). This can be used to develop the Chain Rule.
KeyConcept Function
The derivative of a composite function f [ g (x )] is the derivative of the outer function f evaluated
at the inner function g multiplied by the derivative of the inner function g.

The Ministry coordinates with national higher education institutions to admit students in various majors in line with the needs of the labour
market and future human development plans. Higher Education institutions also determine the number of students that can be admitted
according to their capabilities, mission and goals. They also set the conditions for students’ admission to various programmes according
to the stream they graduated from, the levels of their performance in the secondary stage, and their results from the Emirates Standard
Assessment Test.
Integration and coordination between General and Higher Education systems allow for the approval and calculation of school
study courses within university studies according to the school stream and university specialisation, which reduces the duration of
university studies.
