4. Studying new material.

The rules and formulas of differentiation, which we examined in the last lesson, are basic when calculating derivatives. But if for not complex expressions the use of basic rules does not represent special labor, then for complex expressions, use general rule may turn out to be a very difficult matter.

The goal of our lesson today is to consider the concept of a complex function and master the technique of using basic formulas in differentiating complex functions.

Derivative of a complex function

The example shows that a complex function is a function of a function. Therefore, we can give the following definition of a complex function:

Definition : Function of the formy = f(g(x)) calledcomplex function , composed of functionsf ug, orsuperposition of functions f Andg.

Example: Functiony =ln( sinx) there is a complex function made up of functions

y = ln u Andu = sinx .

Therefore, a complex function is often written in the form

y = f(u), Whereu = g(x)

External function Intermediate function

In this case, the argumentX calledindependent variable , Au - intermediate argument.

Let's go back to the example . We can calculate the derivative of each of these functions using a derivative table.

How to calculate the derivative of a complex function?

The answer to this question is given by the following theorem.

Theorem: If the functionu = g(x) differentiable at some pointX 0 , and the functiony=f(u) differentiable at the pointu 0 = g(x 0 ), then a complex functiony=f(g(x)) differentiable at a given point x 0 .

Rule:

    To find the derivative of a complex function, you need to read it correctly;

    We read the function in the reverse order of actions;

    We find the derivative as we read the function.

Now let's look at this with an example:

Example1: Functiony =ln( sinx) is obtained by sequentially performing two operations: taking the sine of the angleX and finding from this number natural logarithm:

The function reads like this : logarithmic function of a trigonometric function.

Let's differentiate the function:y = ln( sinx)=ln u, u=s in x.

. We will use the augmented table of derivatives for differentiation.

Next we get (u) =(s in x) = cosx

U = ’ ==ctg x

Example2: Find the derivative of a functionh( x)=(2 x+3) 100 .

Solution: Functionhcan be represented as a complex functionh( x) = g( f( x)), Whereg( y)= y 100 , y= f( x)=2 x+3, becausef I ( x)=2, g I ( y)=100 y 99 , h I ( x)=2*100 y 9 =200(2 x+3) 99 .

5.Reinforcement of the material: (Students come to the board and solve examples)

A) y = ; b) y =;

IN); d) y=

2. Find the derivative of the function:

B) (3+5 x ) 10

B) (7 x -1) 3

G) (8 x +6) 55

D)

E) (7 x -1) 5

3. Functions are set f ( x ) = 2- x - x 2 ; g ( x ) = ; p ( x ) = .

Define functions using formulas:

A) f ( g ( x )) ; b) g ( f ( x )); V) f ( p ( x ))

6. Homework:

Find the derivative of the function: a) (5 x -7) 17 ; b) (7 x +6) 14 ; IN) y =; G) y =;

Progress of the lesson.

I AZ

1. The outstanding Russian mathematician and shipbuilder Academician Alexei Nikolaevich Krylov (1863-1945) once noted that a person turns to mathematics “not to admire innumerable treasures. First of all, he needs to become familiar with centuries-old proven instruments and learn to use them correctly and skillfully.” We have become acquainted with one of these tools – this is a derivative. Today in class we continue to study the topic “Derivative” and our task is to consider the new question “Derivative of a complex function”, i.e. We will find out what a complex function is and how its derivative is calculated.

2. Now let's remember how the derivative of various functions is calculated. To do this you must complete 7 tasks. For each task, answer options are offered, encrypted in letters. The correct solution to each task allows you to open the desired letter of the surname of the scientist who introduced the designation y" , f " (x).

Find the derivative of the function.

1) y = 5 y " = 0 L

Y" = 5x N

Y" = 1 B

2) y = -x y " = 1 V

Y" = -1 A

Y" = x 2 And

3) y = 2x+3 y " = 3 Y

Y " = x And

Y" = 2 G

4) y = - 12 y " = P

Y" = 1 T

Y" = -12 G

5) y=x 4 y "= P

Y" = 4x 3 A

y "= x 3 C

6) y=-5x 3 y "= -15x 2 N

Y" = -5x 2 O

y " = 5x 2 Р

7) y=x-x 3 y "= 1-x 2 D

Y" = 1-3x 2 F

Y" = x-3x 2 A

(Tasks on slides 2 – 3).

So, the scientist’s name is Lagrange, and we thereby repeated the calculation of derivatives of various functions.

3. One of the students fills out the table: (slide 4).

f(x)

f(1)

f" (x)

f" (1)

1) 4-x

2) 2x5

10x4

5) (4-x) 5

What questions do you have? As a result of the conversation, we come to the conclusion that we do not know how to calculate ()"; ((4-x) 3 )"

4. What is the name of the function 1), 2), 3), 4).

1) – linear, 2) power, 3) power, 4) -?, 5) -?

Now we will find out what such functions are called and how their derivatives are calculated.

II. FNZ and SD.

1. In order to do this, consider the function Z = f(x) =

What is the sequence for calculating the function values?

A) g = 4-x

B) h =

What is the relationship between g and h called?

Function

This means g and h can be represented as:

G = g(x) = 4-x

H = h(g) =

As a result of sequential execution of functions g and h for a given value x, the value of which function will be calculated?

F(x)

Z = f(x) = h(g) = h(g(x))

Thus f(x) = h(g(x)).

They say that f is a complex function made up of g and h. Function

g – internal, h – external.

In our example, 4-x is an internal function, and √ is an external one.

G(x) = 4-x

H(g) =

2. Which of the following functions are complex? In the case of a complex function, name the internal and external functions (the following functions are written on slide 8:

a) f(x) = 5x+1; b) f(x) = (3-5x) 5 ; c) f(x) = cos3x.

3. So, we found out what a complex function is. How to calculate its derivative?

Algorithm for calculating the derivative of a complex function f(x) = h(g(x)).

  1. define the inner function g(x).
  2. find the derivative of the internal function g"(x)
  3. define the outer function h(g)
  4. find the derivative of the external function h"(g)
  5. find the product of the derivative of the internal function and the derivative of the external function g"(x) ∙ h"(g)

Everyone is given a monument with an algorithm.

4. Teacher at the blackboard: f(x) = (3-5x) 5

  1. g(x) = 3-5x
  2. g"(x) = -5
  3. h(g) = g 5
  4. h"(g)=5g 4
  5. f "(x) = g"(x) ∙ h"(g) = -5 ∙ 5g 4 = -5 ∙ 5(3-5x) 4 = -25(3-5x) 4

5. So, we have found out what a complex function is and how its derivative is calculated.

III. FUN.

1. Now let's learn how to find derivatives of various complex functions. Performed by advanced students.

1) g(x) = 4-x

2) g"(x) = -1

3) h(g) =

4) h"(g) =

5) f "(x) = g"(x) ∙ h"(g) = -1 ∙ = -

2. Find the derivative of the function:

“3” f(x) = (1 – 2x) 4

“4” f(x) = (x 2 – 6x + 5) 7

“5” f(x) = - (1 – x) 3

3. Summing up.

LESSON PROGRESS:

1. Organizational moment(1 min).

Introduction

Readiness of the class for work.

General mood.

2. Motivational stage (2-3 min).

(Let's show ourselves that we are ready to confidently comprehend knowledge that may be useful to us!)

Tell me, what homework did you do for this lesson? (in the last lesson, we were asked to study the material on the topic “Derivative of a complex function” and, as a result, make notes).

What sources did you use to study this topic? (video, textbook, additional literature).

What additional literature did you use? (literature from the library).

So the topic of the lesson is...? ("Derivative of a complex function")

Open your notebooks and write down: number, great job, and the topic of the lesson. (Slide 1)

Based on the topic, let's outline the goals and objectives of the lesson (formation of the concept of a complex function; development of the ability to find the derivative of a complex function according to the rule; work out an algorithm for applying the rule for finding the derivative of a complex function when solving problems).

3. Updating knowledge and implementing primary action (7-8 min)

Let's move on to achieving the lesson's goals.

Let us formulate the concept of a complex function (function of the form y = f ( g (x)) called complex function, composed of functions f And g, Where fexternal function And g- internal) (Slide 2 )

Let's consider Task 1: Find the derivative of a function y = (x 2 + sinx) 3 (write on the board)

Is this function basic or complex? (difficult)

Why? (since the argument is not the independent variable x, but the function x 2 + sinx of this variable).

To find the derivative of a given function, you need to know the basic formulas for the derivative of elementary functions and know the rules of differentiation. Let's remember them by spending dictation: (Slide 3)

1) C ’ =0; 2) (x n) ' = nx n-1 ; ; 4) a x = a x ln a; 5)

The dictation result is checked (Slide 4)

Let us select from the table of derivatives and differentiation rules those that are needed to solve this task and write them down in the form of a diagram on the board.

4. Identifying individual difficulties in implementing new knowledge and skills (4 min)

Let's solve example 1 and find the derivative of the function y ’ = ( ( x 2 + sin x) 3) '

What formulas are needed to solve the problem? ((x n) ’ = nx n -1 ;

Work at the board:

( x 2 + sin x) 3 = U;

y ’ = (U 3) ’ = 3 U 2 U`=3 ( x 2 + sin x) 2 ( 2x +cos x)

It can be noted that without knowledge of formulas and rules it is impossible to take the derivative of a complex function, but for correct calculation you need to see the main function in differentiation.

5. Building a plan to resolve the difficulties that have arisen and its implementation (8 - 9 min)

Having identified the difficulties, let's build an algorithm for finding the derivative of a complex function: (Slide 5)

Algorithm:

1. Define external and internal functions;

2. We find the derivative as we read the function.

Now let's look at this with an example

Task 2: Find the derivative of the function:

When simplifying, we get: (5-4x) = U,

y ’ = ’ =

Task 3: Find the derivative of the function:

1. Define external and internal functions:

y = 4 U – exponential function

2. Find the derivative as we read the function:

6. Generalization of identified difficulties (4 min)

N.I. Lobachevsky “... there is not a single area in mathematics that will ever not be applicable to the phenomena of the real world...”

Therefore, summarizing our knowledge, we will devote the solution to the next task to connections with physical phenomena(at the board if desired)

Task 4:

During electromagnetic oscillations arising in an oscillatory circuit, the charge on the capacitor plates changes according to the law q = q 0 cos ωt, where q 0 is the amplitude of charge oscillations on the capacitor. Find the instantaneous value of the force AC I.

‘ = - . If we add the initial phase, then using the reduction formulas we get - .

In a special envelope, each pair of students is offered a set of cards (10 cards in total). These are formula cards. There is another set of cards. These are answer cards, of which there are more, since among the answers there are false answers. The student finds the answer to the task, and with this card (answer) covers the corresponding number in a special card. Students work in pairs, so they evaluate each other, put marks on the control sheet according to the criterion: “5” - knows 9-10 formulas; “4” - knows 7-8 formulas; “3” - knows 5-6 formulas; “2” - knows less than 5 formulas.

Knowledge of formulas is being tested and assessed on a magnetic board. If the answers on the magnetic board are correct, the backs of the answer cards form a larger picture for the entire group to see.

V. New material

(5 min.) .

Complex function.

Consider the function given by the formula f(x) =

In order to find the derivative of a given function, you must first calculate the derivative of the internal function u = v(x) = xI + 7x + 5, and then calculate the derivative of the function g(u) = .

They say the function f(x) – there is a complex function made up of functions g And v , and write:

f(x) = g(v(x)) .

The domain of definition of a complex function is the set of all those X from the domain of the function v , for which v(x) is within the scope of the function g.

Let the complex function y = f(x) = g(v(x)) be such that the function y = v(x) is defined on the interval U, and the function u = v(x) is defined on the interval X and the set of all its values ​​is included into the interval U. Let the function u = v(x) have a derivative at each point inside the interval X, and the function y = g(u) have a derivative at each point inside the interval U. Then the function y = f(x) has a derivative at each point inside the interval X, calculated by the formula

x = y" u u" x .

The formula can be read as follows: derivative y By x equal to the derivative y By u , multiplied by the derivative u By x .

The formula can also be written like this:

f" (x) = g" (u) v" (x).

Proof.

At the point X

X let's set the increment of the argument, (x+ x) X. Then the functionu = v(x) will receive an increment , and the function y = g(u) will receive increment Dy. It should be taken into account that since the function u=v(x) at the point x has a derivative, then it is continuous at this point and at .
