In differential calculus, the concept of tangents and normals is closely related to the idea of derivatives. The derivative of a function at a point gives the slope of the tangent line to the curve at that point. The derivative is also used to find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at…
Exponential and logarithmic functions are two important types of mathematical functions commonly used in many fields, including mathematics, physics, economics, and engineering. Exponential functions have the form f(x) = a^x, where a is a positive constant called the base of the function. These functions have the property that the value of the function increases or…
The chain rule is a fundamental rule in calculus that allows you to differentiate a function that is composed of two or more functions. More specifically, if you have a function f(x) that is composed of two functions g(x) and h(x), such that f(x) = g(h(x)), then the chain rule states that: f'(x) = g'(h(x))…
