Ex 12.2, 7 (Method 1) For some constants a and b, find the derivative of (i) (x – a) (x – b) Let f (x) = (x – a) (x – b) = x (x – b) – a (x – b) = x2 – xb – ax + ab = x2 – (b + a)x + ab f’(x) = (x2 – (b + a)x + ab)’ = 2.x2–1 – (b + a) .1x1–1 + 0 = 2x1 – (b + a) . x0 = 2x – (b + a) × 1 = 2x – (b + a) Ex 12.2, 7 (Method 2) For some constants a and b, find the derivative of (i) (x – a) (x – b) Let f (x) = (x – a) (x – b) Let u = (x – a) & v = (x – b) ∴ f(x) = uv So, f’(x) = (uv)’ f’(x) = u’v + v’u Finding u’ & v’ u = x – a u’ = 1. x1–1 – 0 = 1. x0 = 1 v = (x – b) v’ = 1 .x1–1 – 0 = 1 . x0 = 1 Now, f’ (x) = (uv)’ = u’ v + v’u = (1) (x – b) + 1(x – a) = x – b + (x – a) = 2x – b – a = 2x – (b + a)
