derivative is negative. While this method is quite efficient, it can become quite a task to find the second derivative when the first derivative is an extremely complex function. In such a case we use Method 1 to determine the nature of the stationary points. dy dx 2 0.6 12( 0.6) 6( 0.6) 6 1.92 0 x dy dx =-æö ç÷=- -- -= > èø 2 0.4 12( 0.4 ...

Derivatives are met in many engineering and science problems, especially when modelling the behaviour of moving objects. Our discussion begins with some general applications which we can then apply to specific problems. NOTES: a. There are now many tools for sketching functions (Mathcad, LiveMath, Scientific Notebook, graphics calculators, etc).

APPLICATION OF DERIVATIVES 195 Thus, the rate of change of y with respect to x can be calculated using the rate of change of y and that of x both with respect to t. Let us consider some examples. Example 1 Find the rate of change of the area of a circle per second with respect to its radius r when r = 5 cm. Solution 2The area A of a circle with radius r is given by A = πr.
