Notations
There are many ways to denote the derivative of a function y=f(x), where the
independent variable is x and the dependent variable is y. Some common
alternative notations for the derivative are
d𝑦 d𝑓 d
𝑓′ 𝑥 = 𝑦 ′ = = = 𝑓 𝑥 = D 𝑓 𝑥 = D𝑥 𝑓 𝑥
d𝑥 d𝑥 d𝑥
d
The symbols and D indicate the operation of differentiation.
d𝑥
d𝑦 d𝑓 d
We read as «the derivative of 𝑦 with respect to 𝑥» and and 𝑓 𝑥 as «the
d𝑥 d𝑥 d𝑥
derivative of 𝑓 with respect to 𝑥».

Differentiability on an interval; one-sided derivatives Example 3. Show that the function 𝑦 = 𝑥 is differentiable on −∞, 0 and 0, ∞
but has no derivative at 𝑥 = 0.
A function 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 is differentiable on an open interval (finite or infinite) if it has
a derivative at each point of the interval.
It is differentiable on a closed interval 𝑎, 𝑏 if it is differentiable on the interior
𝑎, 𝑏 and if the limits

The function 𝑓′′ is called the second derivative of 𝑓 because it is the derivative of
the first derivative. It is written in several ways:

Example 13. 𝑦 = 𝑥 is not differentiable at x=0 (there is no derivative at the Implicit differentiation
origin because the one-sided derivatives differ there). However, the function is
differentiable at all other real numbers:
𝑥 3 + 𝑦 3 − 9𝑥𝑦 = 0, 𝑦 2 − 𝑥 = 0, 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 25 = 0
Thes equations define an implicit relation between the variables 𝑥 and 𝑦. In some
cases we may be able to solve such an equation for 𝑦 as an explicit function of 𝑥.
When we cannot put an equation 𝐹 𝑥, 𝑦 = 0 in the form of 𝑦 = 𝑓 𝑥 to
d𝑦
differentiate it in the usual way, we may still be able to find d𝑥 by implicit
differentiation.
