There are many ways to write the derivative of y f x
f x “f prime x” or “the derivative of f with respect to x”
y “y prime”

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.
Graphing a Derivative on TI 83+
The proper notation for graphingthe derivative is nDeriv(function,X,X).
Graph the derivative of the function

Conceptual questions:
Let y = g(x) be a function that measures the water depth in a pool x minutes after the pool begins to fill. Then g’(25) represents:
I. The rate at which the depth is increasing 25 minutesafter the pool starts to fill
II. The average rate at which the depth changes overthe first 25 minutes
III. The slope of the graph of g at the point where x = 25
A) I only B) II only C) III only D) I and II
E) I and III F) I, II, and III
The function y = f(x) measures the fish population in Lincoln Pond at time x, where x is measured in years sinceJanuary 1st, 1950. If : thatmeansit ,500)25( f
A) There are 500 fish in the pond in 1975
B) There are 500 more fish in 1975 than there were in 1950
C) On average, the fish population increased by 500 per year over the first 25 years following 1950
D) On Jan. 1st, 1975, the fishing population was growingat a rate of 500 fish per year
E) None of the above
f(x) = position function
f’(x) = velocity function
f”(x) = acceleration function
