So far, fourth grade is her favorite grade to teach! Mrs. Carroll was the 2011 Newell Unified School District Teacher of the Year, and received her National Board Certification in 2013. She loves science and majored in biology at Arizona State University, where she also earned her teaching credential and Master of Education degree. Mrs. Carroll is excited to begin the best year ever!

Differentiable

We know that differentiable means Derivatives of function exists

Example:

x2+5x is it differentiable?

Derivative Rules

Derivative Rules shows that derivative of x2 is 2x and derivative of x is 1 so the derivative of whole

Function is 2x+5

Fact: Here, We can say that x2+5x is differentiable.

And, also it must exist for every value in function’s Domain

Domain: In its simplest form, the domain is all those values that we put into a function.

Example:

We say that its domain is real numbers

For x2+5x its derivative still exist for all real numbers

Fact: x2+5x is still differentiable

Example:

The function f(x)=|x| (absolute value function)

Recalling:

f(x)=|x| is called abs(absolute value function)

Graph:

|x| looks like in graph:

Fact: At (0,0) it makes an right angle

It is an even function!

Even function:

A function is known as even function when:

F(x)=f(-x)

Example:

F(x)=cosx

Domain: Its domain is real numbers.

Range: It consists of non negative real numbers
