Differentiation
We have two quantities x and y such that y = f (x) where f (x) is some
2. Maximum and Minimum values of y.It can be find with the method of
It is defined as

¡ ∆y ¢
dx
= lim∆x→0 ∆x Some commonly known functions and their derivatives
are:-
d(xn )
dx
= nxn−1
d(sinx)
dx
= cosx
d(cosx)
dx
= −sinx

if dx2
< 0 then the value of x corresponds to maxima of y then ymax can be
find out by putting this value of x
