In the future, all will become clear.

The derivative is the slope of the original function.
The derivative is defined at the end points of a function on a closed interval.

A function is differentiable if it has a derivative everywhere in its domain. It must be continuous and smooth. Functions on closed intervals must have one-sided derivatives defined at the end points.
![Page 12: 3.2 Derivatives Great Sand Dunes National Monument, Colorado Greg Kelly, Hanford High School, Richland, WashingtonPhoto by Vickie Kelly, 2003](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051316/5697bfce1a28abf838ca99e3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To be differentiable, a function must be continuous and smooth.
Derivatives will fail to exist at:
corner cusp
vertical tangent discontinuity

Most of the functions we study in calculus will be differentiable.
If a function is differentiable , then it is continuous.
Note!! Just because a function is continuous does not mean that it is differentiable!!!

Derivatives on the TI-89:
You must be able to calculate derivatives with the calculator and without.
Today you will be using your calculator, but be sure to do them by hand when called for.
Remember that half the test is no calculator.

3y xExample: Find at x = 2.dy
dx
d ( x ^ 3, x ) ENTER returns23x
This is the derivative symbol, which is .82nd
It is not a lower case letter “d”.
Use the up arrow key to highlight and press .23x ENTER
3 ^ 2 2x x ENTER returns 12
or use: ^ 3, 2d x x x ENTER

Warning:
The calculator may return an incorrect value if you evaluate a derivative at a point where the function is not differentiable.
Examples: 1/ , 0d x x x returns
, 0d abs x x x returns 1

Graphing Derivatives
Graph: ln ,y d x x What does the graph look like?
This looks like:1

Use your calculator to evaluate: ln ,d x x1

The derivative of is only defined for , even though the calculator graphs negative values of x.
