One says that f is differentiable at a iff the following limit exists: f(a + h) − f(a) L : = lim . h→0 h When the limit exists, we will set f (a)=L. df We will also denote it sometimes by dx (a). Consider, for example, the case of a linear function f(x)=mx + c, whose graph is the line of slope m, passing through the point (0,c). Since f(x + h)= m(x + h)+c = f(x)+mh,wehaveatanypointa in R, f(x + h) − f(x) mh = = m, h h which is independent of h. Hence it has the limit m as h approaches 0. Thus f is differentiable at x = a with f (a)beingtheslopem. In particular, when m = 0, the function f is just the constant function x → c,andthe derivative is 0. The next simple example toconsideris the quadratic function f(x)=αx2 + βx + γ, with α, β, γ in R.Then f(x + h) − f(x) (2αx + β)h + αh2 = =2α + β + αh, h h which has the limit 2αx + β as h tends to0. Thus df =2αx + β. dx This is L:eibnitz’s notation, and it means that for any a, df f (a)= (a)=2αa + β. dx 76 In particular, the squaring function f(x)=x2 is differentiable everywhere with deriva- tive 2x. This is a superspecial case of the following important result on the power function xt. Proposition 6.1.1 For any real number t, consider the function f(x)=xt. Then f is differentiable at any point a in R,with f (a)=tat−1. We will prove this in four stages. The first step is the following: Proof when t is a positive integer m.Leta, h ∈ R. By the binomial theorem, m m(m − 1) (a + h)m = am−jhj = am + mam−1h + am−2h2 + ...hm. 2 j=0 In other words, (a + h)m − am = mam−1 + hg(a, h), h where m m(m − 1) m(m − 1)(m − 2) g(a, h)= am−jhj−2 = am−2 + am−3h + ... + hm−2. 2 2 j=2 m(m−1) m−2 Then g(x, 0) = 2 a ,andsohg(x, h)goesto0ash goes to 0. Consequently, (a + h)m − am lim = mam−1, h→0 h as asserted. Here is the next step. Proof when t =1/n with n a positive integer.Foranya ∈ R, note that h = zn − wn if z =(a + h)1/n,w= a1/n. Thus (a + h)1/n − a1/n z − w = . h zn − wn But we have the factorization zn − wn =(z − w)(zn−1 + zn−2w + zn−3w2 + ...+ zwn−2 + wn−1), 77 which can be verified by direct computation. Thus (a + h)1/n − a1/n z − w 1 lim = lim = lim −1 −2 −2 −1 . h→0 h h→0 zn − wn h→0 zn + zn w + ...+ zwn + wn Since the function x → x1/n is continuous, the limit of ziwj as h goes to 0 is simply wi+j. We then obtain 1/n 1/n (a + h) − a 1 1 1 −1 n lim = −1 = a . h→0 h nwn n which proves the assertion of Proposition 6.1.1 for t =1/n. We will come back to this proposition in the next section after deriving the product rule. Proposition 6.1.2 The functions f(x) = sin x and g(x)=cosx are differentiable at any point a in R,and f (a)=cosaandg(a)=− sin a. Proof. Recall the addition formula sin(x + y) = sin x cos y +cosx sin y. Therefore sin(a + h) − sin a cos h − 1 sin h =sina +cosa . h h h We have already seen that sin h cos h − 1 lim = 1 and lim =0. h→0 h h→0 h Consequently, sin(a + h) − sin a lim =cosa, h→0 h as asserted. Similarly, the addition formula for the cosine function, namely cos(x + y)=cosx cos y − sin x sin y, implies cos(a + h) − cos a cos h − 1 sin h =cosa − sin a . h h h The expression on the right has the limit − sin a as h goes to 0. Done. One can check that if f is differentiable at a, f must necessarily be continuous at a, but it is not sufficient. Indeed, the function f(x)=|x| is continuous everywhere, but it is not integrable at x = 0. This is because for h>0, f(h) − f(0) h − 0 = =1, h h 78 while for h<0, f(h) − f(0) −h − 0 = = −1. h h f(h)−f(0) − So h is 1, resp. 1, as h approaches 0 from the right, resp. left. So there is no unique limit and f is not differentiable at 0. Note, however, that f is differentiable everywhere else. Let us end this section by looking at a couple of more examples. The first one below is not differentiable at x =0: x sin 1 , if x =0 f(x)= x 0, if x =0 Indeed, for any h =0, f(h) − f(0) h sin 1 − 0 1 = h =sin , h h h 1 − and sin h has nolimit as h goes to 0; it fluctuates wildly between 1and1. The second example is x2 sin 1 , if x =0 g(x)= x 0, if x =0 In this case g(h) − g(0) 1 = h sin , h h which approaches 0 as h goes to 0. So g(x) is differentiable at x =0with g(0) = 0. 6.2 Rules of differentiation, consequences The twobasic results here are the following: Theorem 6.2.1 Let f,g be differentiable functions at some a ∈ R. Then we have: (i) (Linearity) For all α, β in R, the function αf + βg is differentiable at a,with (αf + βg)(a)=αf (a)+βg(a). (ii) (Product rule) The product function fg is differentiable at a,with (fg)(a)=f (a)g(a)+f(a)g(a). 79 (iii) (Quotient rule)Ifg(x) is non-zero in an interval around a, then the ratio f/g is differentiable at a,with f f (a)g(a) − f(a)g(a) (a)= . g g(a)2 Theorem 6.2.2 (Chain rule) Let f be a differentiable function at some a in R, g a differentiable function at f(a). Then the composite function g ◦ f is differentiable at a,with (g ◦ f)(a)=g(f(a)) · f (a). Before giving proofs of these assertions, which will be done in the next section, let us note that as a consequence, rational functions, trigonometric functions,andvarious combinations of them are differentiable wherever they are defined.For example, the function x72 − 21x3 +sin9(x4 +43x) − cos3(x3 − 5) f(x)= √ 12 sin x − 29x4 − 4 is differentiable at any x where the denominator is non-zero. A simpler, and more commonly occurring example is g(x)=tanx. Since tan x =sinx/ cos x, we get by applying the quotient rule and Proposition 6.1.2, d (cos x)(cos x) − (sin x)(− sin x) 1 (6.2.3a) tan x = = =sec2 x. dx cos2 x cos2 x Here we have used the fact that sin2 x +cos2 x = 1, and the formula is valid at any x where cos x is non-zero, i.e., at any real number x not equal to an odd integer multiple of π/2. Similarly we have d (6.2.3b) cot x = −2x, dx d (6.2.3c) sec x =secx tan x, dx and d (6.2.3d) x = −x cot x, dx for all x where the function is defined. Now we will complete the proof of Proposition 6.1.1. In the previous section we proved the formula for the functions f(x)=xm and g(x)=x1/n for integers m, n with m ≥ 0, n>0. The next step is to look at the function h(x)=xm/n, 80 for a rational number m/n,withm, n > 0.

  • 1 Mean Value Theorem 1 1.1 Applications of the Mean Value Theorem
    Seunghee Ye Ma 8: Week 5 Oct 28 Week 5 Summary In Section 1, we go over the Mean Value Theorem and its applications. In Section 2, we will recap what we have covered so far this term. Topics Page 1 Mean Value Theorem 1 1.1 Applications of the Mean Value Theorem . .1 2 Midterm Review 5 2.1 Proof Techniques . .5 2.2 Sequences . .6 2.3 Series . .7 2.4 Continuity and Differentiability of Functions . .9 1 Mean Value Theorem The Mean Value Theorem is the following result: Theorem 1.1 (Mean Value Theorem). Let f be a continuous function on [a; b], which is differentiable on (a; b). Then, there exists some value c 2 (a; b) such that f(b) − f(a) f 0(c) = b − a Intuitively, the Mean Value Theorem is quite trivial. Say we want to drive to San Francisco, which is 380 miles from Caltech according to Google Map. If we start driving at 8am and arrive at 12pm, we know that we were driving over the speed limit at least once during the drive. This is exactly what the Mean Value Theorem tells us. Since the distance travelled is a continuous function of time, we know that there is a point in time when our speed was ≥ 380=4 >>> speed limit. As we can see from this example, the Mean Value Theorem is usually not a tough theorem to understand. The tricky thing is realizing when you should try to use it. Roughly speaking, we use the Mean Value Theorem when we want to turn the information about a function into information about its derivative, or vice-versa.

  • Approaching Green's Theorem Via Riemann Sums
    APPROACHING GREEN’S THEOREM VIA RIEMANN SUMS JENNIE BUSKIN, PHILIP PROSAPIO, AND SCOTT A. TAYLOR ABSTRACT. We give a proof of Green’s theorem which captures the underlying intuition and which relies only on the mean value theorems for derivatives and integrals and on the change of variables theorem for double integrals. 1. INTRODUCTION The counterpoint of the discrete and continuous has been, perhaps even since Eu- clid, the essence of many mathematical fugues. Despite this, there are fundamental mathematical subjects where their voices are difficult to distinguish. For example, although early Calculus courses make much of the passage from the discrete world of average rate of change and Riemann sums to the continuous (or, more accurately, smooth) world of derivatives and integrals, by the time the student reaches the cen- tral material of vector calculus: scalar fields, vector fields, and their integrals over curves and surfaces, the voice of discrete mathematics has been obscured by the coloratura of continuous mathematics. Our aim in this article is to restore the bal- ance of the voices by showing how Green’s Theorem can be understood from the discrete point of view. Although Green’s Theorem admits many generalizations (the most important un- doubtedly being the Generalized Stokes’ Theorem from the theory of differentiable manifolds), we restrict ourselves to one of its simplest forms: Green’s Theorem. Let S ⊂ R2 be a compact surface bounded by (finitely many) simple closed piecewise C1 curves oriented so that S is on their left. Suppose that M F = is a C1 vector field defined on an open set U containing S.

  • The Mean Value Theorem
    Math 1A: introduction to functions and calculus Oliver Knill, 2014 Lecture 16: The mean value theorem In this lecture, we look at the mean value theorem and a special case called Rolle's theorem. Unlike the intermediate value theorem which applied for continuous functions, the mean value theorem involves derivatives. We assume therefore today that all functions are differentiable unless specified. Mean value theorem: Any interval (a; b) contains a point x such that f(b) − f(a) f 0(x) = : b − a f b -f a H L H L b-a Here are a few examples which illustrate the theorem: 1 Verify with the mean value theorem that the function f(x) = x2 +4 sin(πx)+5 has a point where the derivative is 1. Solution. Since f(0) = 5 and f(1) = 6 we see that (f(1) − f(0))=(1 − 0) = 5. 2 Verify that the function f(x) = 4 arctan(x)/π − cos(πx) has a point where the derivative is 3. Solution. We have f(0) = −1 and f(1) = 2. Apply the mean value theorem. 3 A biker drives with velocity f 0(t) at position f(b) at time b and at position a at time a. The value f(b) − f(a) is the distance traveled. The fraction [f(b) − f(a)]=(b − a) is the average speed. The theorem tells that there was a time when the bike had exactly the average speed. p 2 4 The function f(x) = 1 − x has a graph on (−1; 1) on which every possible slope isp taken.

  • Mean Value Theorem on Manifolds
    MEAN VALUE THEOREMS ON MANIFOLDS Lei Ni Abstract We derive several mean value formulae on manifolds, generalizing the clas- sical one for harmonic functions on Euclidean spaces as well as the results of Schoen-Yau, Michael-Simon, etc, on curved Riemannian manifolds. For the heat equation a mean value theorem with respect to `heat spheres' is proved for heat equation with respect to evolving Riemannian metrics via a space-time consideration. Some new monotonicity formulae are derived. As applications of the new local monotonicity formulae, some local regularity theorems concerning Ricci flow are proved. 1. Introduction The mean value theorem for harmonic functions plays an central role in the theory of harmonic functions. In this article we discuss its generalization on manifolds and show how such generalizations lead to various monotonicity formulae. The main focuses of this article are the corresponding results for the parabolic equations, on which there have been many works, including [Fu, Wa, FG, GL1, E1], and the application of the new monotonicity formula to the study of Ricci flow. Let us start with the Watson's mean value formula [Wa] for the heat equation. Let U be a open subset of Rn (or a Riemannian manifold). Assume that u(x; t) is 2 a C solution to the heat equation in a parabolic region UT = U £ (0;T ).
