Solve Explicit Differentiation

In calculus,Explicit is a function which the independent variable. The function f explicitly is to provide a preparation for determining the output of the given function y in terms of the input value x: y = f(x). Derivative of an explicit function is called as explicit differentiation. for example  y = x3 + 5. The process of finding the differentiation of the independent variable in an explicit function by differentiating each term separately, by expressing the derivative of the independent variable as a symbol, and by solving the resulting expression for the symbol.

Solve explicit differentiation problems:

Let us see some problems and its helps to solve an explicit differentiation.

Solve explicit differentiation problem 1:

Find the differentiation of given explicit function   y = x2 - 15x + 3.

Solution:

Given explicit function is  y = x2 - 15x + 3.

Differentiation of explicit function is   dy/dx  = d/dx ( x2 - 15x + 3)

Separate the each term, so, we get

= d/dx (x2) - d/dx (15x) + d/dx (3)

= d/dx (x2) - 15d/dx(x) + d/dx (3).

= 2 x(2-1) - 15 + 0

= 2x - 15

The differentiation of an explicit function is  2x - 15

Solve explicit differentiation problem 2:

Find the differentiation of an explicit function  x2 +  cot x = - y

Solution:

Given explicit function is  x2 +  cot x = - y

Multiply by (-1) on both sides,  y = - x2 -  cot x

Differentiation of an explicit function,

y =   - x2 -  cot x

dy/dx = d/dx -x2   - d/dx (cot x) .

=  - 2x - (-cosec2 x) .

= - 2x + cosec2x

The Differentiation of an explicit function is  - 2x + cosec2x

Solve explicit differentiation problem 3:

Find the differentiation of given explicit function  2x2 + y2 = 1

Solution:

Given explicit function is  2x2 + y2 = 1

Subtract 2x2 on both sides.we get,

2x2 + y2 - 2x2 = 1 - 2x2

y 2 = 1 - 2x2

Take square root on both sides, we get

 sqrt (y^2) =  +- sqrt (1 - 2x^2)

y = +- sqrt (1 - 2x^2) .

Differentiate the function,  Let u = 1 - 2x2            and           y = sqrt u

(du)/(dx) = - 4x                              dy/(du) = 1/(2sqrtu)

So,   dy/dx =  ((dy)/(du)) ((du)/(dx)) .

=  1/(2sqrtu) . (-4x )

=  (- 2x) / sqrtu .

Substitute u = y, So we get

= - (2x)/y   .

The differentiation of an explicit function is  - (2x)/y    .

Substitution Geometry

Geometry is a module of mathematics, which involves the study of shapes, line equation, angles problem, dimensions, relative position of figures etc.  The term ‘Geometry’ means study of properties. A point is used to represent a position in space. A plane to be a surface extending infinitely in all directions such that all points lying on the line joining any two points on the surface. Substitution geometry problems are given below.

Example problems for substitution geometry :

1. Find out the geometry equation of straight line passing through the points 2x + y = 8 and 3x - 2y + 7 = 0 and parallel to 4x+ y - 11 = 0
Solution:
Let (x1, y1) be the intersection lines
2x1 +  y1 =  8       …  (1)
3x1 - 2y1 = - 7   …   (2)


(1) × 2 ? 4x1 + 2y1 = 16      …    (3)
(2) + (3) ? x1 =9/7 `=>` y1 =38/7   (x1, y1) =( 9/7 ,38/7)


The straight line parallel to 4x + y - 11 = 0 is of the form 4x + y + k = 0
But it passes through (9/7 ,38/7)


36/7 +38/7 + k = 0 ? k = -74/7
4x + y -74/7 = 0
28x + 7y - 74 = 0 this is the equation of straight line.


2. For what values of ‘a’, the three straight lines 3x + y + 2 = 0, 2x - y + 3 = 0and x + a y - 3 = 0 are concurrent?

Solution:

Let (x1, y1) be the point of concurrency. This point satisfies the first two equations.
3x1 + y1 + 2 = 0 … (1)
2x1 - y1 + 3 = 0 … (2)

Solving (1) and (2) By using substitution method, we get (- 1, 1) as the point of intersection. Since it is a point of concurrency, it lies on x + a y - 3 =0
- 1 + a - 3 = 0
a -4 = 0

a = 4

Practice problems for substitution geometry:

2. Find the geometry equation of straight- line perpendicular to the straight line 3x + 4y + 28 = 0 and passing through the  point (- 1, 4).

Ans: 4x - 3y + 16 = 0

3. Find the equation of straight line passing through the intersection of straight lines 2x + y = 8 and 3x - y = 2 and through the point (2, - 3).

Ans: x = 2

Proportionality Problems

In mathematics, proportionality indicates that two variables are related in a linear manner. If one number doubles in size, so does the other; if one of the variables diminishes to 1/10 of its former value, so does the other.The symbol for proportionality resemble a stretched-out, lowercase Greek letter alpha . When this symbol appear that two quantities or variables, it is read "is proportional to" or "varies in direct proportion with." Thus, the expression x alpha y is read " x is proportional to y " or " x varies in direct proportion with y ." In this condition, as long as x and y do not attain values of zero, the quotient x / y is always equal to the same value k , which is called the proportionality constant. (source: wiki)

Example proportionality problems:

Proportionality problem 1:

Find a if a/4= 3/2.

Proportionality  solution:

By using property 1:

a/4=3/2

(a) (2) = (4) (3)

2a = 12

Dividing both side by 2

a=6

Therefore the value of a=6

Proportionality problem 2:

Geometry Area and Volume

Geometry” Earth-measuring" is an part of the mathematics concerned with questions of size, shape, relative position of figures, and the properties of space. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences. Initially a body of the  practical knowledge concerning lengths, areas, and volumes. And now we can see about the problems in geometry area and volume.

Tutoring About Correlation Coefficient

Concept of correlation:

Correlation is a method of studying the relationship between the two variables. In statistical analysis we come across the study of two variables wherein the change in the value of one variable produces a change in the value of other variable. In that case we say that the variables are correlated or there is a correlation between the two variables.

The formula for the correlation coefficient r can be expressed in the form,

r = `(sum (X - barX) ( Y - barY))/(sqrt(sum (X - barX)^2) sqrt(sum(Y - barY)^2))`

It is conventionally taken as x = X - X and y = Y - Y and hence we write

r = `(sum xy)/(sqrt(sum x^2) sqrt(sum y^2))`

The above formula is expressed in terms of deviations of the variables from their means. Instead, if the actual values of the observations are taken then the formula can be written as,

r= `(N sum XY - sum X sum Y)/(sqrt(N sum X^2 - (sumX)^2) sqrt(NsumY^2 - (sum Y)^2))`

Instead of the deviations from their means, the deviations are measured from the value A and B for X and Y variables by taking dx = X - A, dy = Y - B, the correlation coefficient r is given by,

r = `(N sumdxdy - sumdx.sumdy)/(sqrt(Nsumdx^2- (sumdx)^2) sqrt(Nsumdy^2 - (sumdy)^2))`

Tutoring about formulas for calculating correlation coefficient:

r = `(sum xy)/(sqrt(sum x^2) sqrt(sum y^2))`

This formula is used when deviations are measured from their mean.
r= `"(N sum XY - sum X sum Y)/(sqrt(N sum X^2 - (sumX)^2)(sqrt(N sum Y^2 - (sumY)^2))) `

This formula is used if no assumed average is taken for x and y series
r = `"(N sumdxdy - sumdx.sumdy)/(sqrt(Nsumdx^2- (sumdx)^2)(sqrtNsumdy^2 - (sumdy)^2)) `

This formula is applied when deviations for x and y series are taken from some assumed values.


Tutoring on problems on correlation coefficient::

Calculate the correlation coefficient between x and y from the following data:
x 1 3 5 8 9 10
y 3 4 8 10 12 11


Solution:
x y x - `barx` y - `bary` (x - `barx` )2 (y - `bary` )2 (x-`barx` )(y - `bary` )
1 3 -5 -5 25 25 25
3 4 -3 -4 9 16 12
5 8 -1 0 1 0 0
8 10 2 2 4 4 4
9 12 3 4 9 16 12
10 11 4 3 16 9 12
36 48 0 0 64 70 65


`barx` = `(sum x)/(n)` = 36/6 = 6

`bary` = `(sum y)/(n)` = 48/6 = 8

r = `(sum(x- barx)(y - bary))/(sqrt(sum(x-barx)^2)sqrt(sum(y-bary)^2))`

= `(sum xy)/(sqrt(sumx^2)sqrt(sumy^2))`

= `(65)/(sqrt(64)sqrt(70))` = 0.97

Limit of a Function

Students can study about Limit of a Function here. Consider the function f(x). Let the independent variable x take values near a given constant a. Then f(x) takes a corresponding set of values. Suppose that when x is close to a, the values of f(x) are close to some constant. Suppose f(x) can be made to differ arbitrarily small from A by taking values of x that are sufficiently close to a but not equal to a and that is true for all such values of x. Then f(x) is said to approach limit A as x approaches a.

If the function f(x) approaches a constant A when x approaches a in whatever manner without assuming the value a, A is said to be the limit of f(x) as x approaches a. Thus we write lim_(x->a) f(x) = A

Find the Limit of a Function

Students can learn to Find the Limit of a Function if they know what Functions are and how they behave at the given limits.

A function may approach two different limits. One where the variable approaches its limit through values larger than the limit and the other where the variable approaches its limit through values smaller than the limit. In such a case the limit is not defined but the right and left hand limit exists.

The right hand limit of a function is the value of the function approaches when the variable approaches its limit from the right. Here, we write lim_(x->a^+) f(x) = A+

The left hand limit of a function is the value of the function approaches when the variable approaches its limit from the left.

here, we write lim_(x->a^-) f(x) = A-

The limit of a function exists if and only if the left hand limit = right hand limit.

In that case, lim_(x->a^+) f(x) = lim_(x->a^-) f(x) = f(x)

Properties of limit of a function

The following are some of the properties of limits which are useful in evaluating the limit of a function.

1. lim_(x->a) k = k ( k is a constant)

2. lim_(x->a) [f(x) ± g(x)] =  lim_(x->a) f(x) ± lim_(x->a) g(x)

3. lim_(x->oo) [f(x).g(x)] = lim_(x->oo) f(x) . lim_(x->oo) g(x)

4. lim_(x->a) (f(x))/(g(x)) = (lim_(x->a)f(x))/(lim_(x->a)g(x))

5. lim_(x->a) [f(x)]n =  [ lim_(x->a) f(x)]n

Standard limit theorems:

1. lim_(x->a) (x^n- a^n)/(x - a) = nan-1

2. lim_(x->0) (e^x-1)/(x) = 1

3. lim_(x->0) (sin x)/(x) = 1

4. lim_(x->0) (1 + (1)/(n))^(n) = e



Solved Examples

Example 1: Evaluate the right hand limit of the function

f(x) = {│x – 4│/x – 4, x ≠ 4, 0 x = 4

at x = 4

Sol: (RHL of f(x) at x = 4)

= lim f(x) = lim f(4 + h) = lim │4+ h – 4│4 + h – 4

x→4+      h→0             h→0

= lim │h│/h = lim h/h = lim 1 = 1

h→0            h→0      h→0

Example 2: Let f be the function given by f(x) = x2 – a2/x – a, x ≠ a

Using (in , δ) definition show that lim f(x) = 2a

x → 0

Sol: Let in > 0 be given. In order to show that

lim f(xi) = 2a

x → a

We have to show that that for any given in > 0, there exists a number δ >0 such that

│f(x) – 2a│< in whenever 0 < │x – a│< δ

If x ≠ a, then │f(x) – 2a│= │x3 – a2/x – a│

= │(x + a) – 2a│                                         [... x ≠ a]

= │x – a│

... │f(x) – 2a│< in , if │x – a│< in

Choosing a number δ such that 0 < δ < in , we have

│f(x) – 2a│< in when whenever 0 < │x – a│< δ

Hence    lim f(x) = 2a

x → 0

Standard Deviation in Statistics

Statistics is a division of applied mathematics which contracts with the particular interpolation of data. The term ‘Statistics’ has been taken from the Latin name ‘Status’ in which it defines ‘political state’. This statistics mainly used to measure the arithmetic mean, median, mode and standard deviation. This measurement gives idea about where the data points are centered. Let us discuss about standard deviation with some example problems.

Evaluation of Standard Deviation in statistics:

Mean:

In Statistics, Mean is defined as the average of the given total numbers, i.e., total number of data divided by the number of data set given.

Formula for finding mean,

barx   = (sum(x))/(n)

Standard Deviation:

In Statistics, Standard Deviation is the measure of describing squared mean difference variability and spread of the Data set in the given total numbers. It is used to take the measurement of taking square root and average of numbers in the Data set.

Formula for standard deviation,

S =  sqrt ((sum(x - barx)^2 )/ (n-1))

Here Standard Deviation is calculated by using the mean Value  barx

Example Problems to find standard deviation in statistics :

Here are 4 measurements   66, 45, 67, 45, 34, 56, 78 and 57. Calculate statistics standard deviation for the given measurements

Sol:

Mean: Calculate the mean the using the formula,

barx   = (sum(x)) / n

barx   =( 66+45+67+45+34+56+78+57) / 8

= 448 / 8

barx   = 56

Standard Deviation,

S = sqrt((sum(x-barx)^2) / (n-1) )

S = sqrt((( 66-56)^2+(45-56)^2+(67-56)^2+(45-56)^2+(34-56)^2+(56-56)^2+(78-56)^2+(57-56)^2) / (8-1))

= sqrt((100+121+121+121+484+0+484+1)/7)

=  sqrt( 1432 / 7)

S = sqrt(204.571429)

Standard Deviation S =  14.3028469

Problem 2:

Sol:

Mean: Calculate the mean using the formula,

barx   = (sum(x)) / n

barx  = ( 16 + 17 + 18 + 20 + 24 ) / 5

barx = 95 / 5

barx = 19

X               x-barx              (x-barx )^2

6               16 - 19 = -3           9

7               17 - 19 = -2           4

8               18 - 19 = -1           1
