4. A Line has a Single Slope Calculus 1 4 y ∆y ∆x x
5. A Curve has Many Slopes Calculus 1 5 y Many Slopes x
6. Example: Slopes of y=x2 Calculus 1 6 y c b The slope increases as we move in the direction of the arrows a x
7. Measuring the Many Slopes of a Curve: Calculus 1 7 Gottfried Leibniz 1646-1717 Isaac Newton 1642-1726
8. Calculus 1 8 y a, f(a) a x Objective: To find the Slope of the Curve at Point (a , f(a))
9. Be Observant Calculus 1 9 جلالالدین محمد رومی “If thou wilt be observant and vigilant, thou wilt see at every moment“
10. The Key Observation of Newton and Leibniz Calculus 1 10 Slope =l1 y Slope =l2 We make h smaller, and the limit of the slopes as it approaches 0, if it exists, will be the slope of the tangent line Slope=l3 Slope =ln a, f(a) a+h3 a+hn a x a+h1 a+h2
11. Calculus 1 11 The key idea translated into the language of mathematics
77. Idea Calculus 1 77 Case 2: Max (or Min) occurs at an interior point ξ Case 1: Max and Min occur at end points, so function is constant. f(x) f(x) a b x a b x
78. Theorem not true if f(a) ≠ f(b) Calculus 1 78 f(x) f(x) a b x a b x
160. Solution of Differential Equations A solution to a differentiable equation is a relation between the variables involved which is: Free From Derivatives Is Consistent with the Differential Equation Calculus 1 160
177. Technique of Changing the Variable Calculus 1 175 Occasionally an unpleasant looking Differential Equation can be converted into something more manageable by making a change of variable. Unfortunately, it is seldom easy to think of an appropriate change
