Differential Calculus of Single-variable Functions

  • Function
  • The concept of functions
  • Function definition:

If for each number $x\in D$, the variable $x$ always corresponds to a certain $y$ according to certain rules, then $x$ is called a function of $y$, denoted as $y=f(x)$; x is often called the independent variable, $y$ the dependent variable, and $D$ domain.

  • Composite function:

Suppose the domain of $y=f(u)$ is $D_f, u=g(x)$, the domain is $D_g$, and the value domain is $R_{s}$; if $D_f\cap R_g\neq\phi, $, then the function $y=f[g(x)]$ is called the composite function of functions $y=f(u)$ and $u=g(x)$. Its domain is $\left\{x|x\in D_g, g(x)\in D_f\right\}$

  • Inverse function:

Let the domain of function $y=f(x)$ be ${D}$, and the range be $\underline{R}_{\underline{\nu}}$. If for any $y\in R_y$, there exists a unique and determined $x\in D$ such that $y=f(x)$, then it is denoted as $x=f^{-1}(y)$, and called the inverse of function $y=f(x)$

  • The properties of functions
  • Monotonicity
  • Parity:
  • Common odd functions: $\sin x,\tan x,\arcsin x,\arctan x,\ln\frac{1-x}{1+x},{\ln(x+\sqrt{1+x^2})},\frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1},f(-x)=-f(x)$
  • Common even functions: $x^2,|x|,\cos x,f(x)=f(-x)$
  • Periodicity
  • Boundedness
  • Limit
  • The nature of limits
  • Properties of the limit of sequences
  • Boundedness: $\text{ If the sequence is }\left\{x_n\right\}\text{ Convergence, then the sequence }\left\{x_n\right\}\text{ There must be boundaries }$
  • Number preservation;
  • Limit properties of functions
  • Local boundedness: if $\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)$ exists, then $f(x)$ is in a punctured neighborhood of $x_0$
  • Number preservation
  • Function limit
  • Functions tend toward infinite values
  • Functions and infinity:

$\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=A$ iff, for every $\varepsilon>0$, there is an $X>0$ such that $|x|>X$ implies $|f(x)-A|<\varepsilon$.

  • The function tends toward negative infinity:

$\lim_{x\to-\infty}f(x)=A$ iff, for every $\varepsilon>0$, there is an $X>0$ such that $x<-X$ implies $|f(x)-A|<\varepsilon$.

  • The function tends toward positive infinity:

$\lim_{x\to+\infty}f(x)=A$ iff, for every $\varepsilon>0$, there is an $X>0$ such that $x>X$ implies $|f(x)-A|<\varepsilon$.

  • The function tends toward finite values
  • $\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)=A$ iff, for every $\varepsilon>0$, there is a $\delta>0$ such that $0<|x-x_0|<\delta$ implies $|f(x)-A|<\varepsilon$.
  • Unilateral limit
  • left limit: $\lim_{x \to x_{0}^{-}}f(x) = A \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases} \hspace{1em} \forall \xi >0, \exists \delta>0, x_{0}-\delta <x<x_{0} \ \mbox{whenever}, \\ \hspace{1em} \lvert f(x) - A\rvert < \xi \\ \end{cases}$
  • Right limit: $\lim_{x \to x_{0}^{+}}f(x) = A \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases} \hspace{1em} \forall \xi >0, \exists \delta>0, x_{0}<x<x_{0}+\delta \ \mbox{whenever}, \\ \hspace{1em} \lvert f(x) - A\rvert < \xi \\ \end{cases}$
  • Relationship between limit and unilateral limit:

$\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)=A\Leftrightarrow\lim_{x\to x_0^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to x_0^+}f(x)=A$

  • Limit of the sequence
  • Definition of sequence limits:

$\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n=a$ iff, for every $\varepsilon>0$, there is an $N$ such that $n>N$ implies $|x_n-a|<\varepsilon$.

  • Criteria for the existence of sequence limits:

If there is $N, $ when $n>N$, $x_n\leq y_n\leq z_n$, $\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n=\lim_{n\to\infty}z_n=a, $ then $\lim_{n\to\infty}y_n=a$

  • Find the limit
  • Eight methods for finding limits
  • Infinity and infinitesimal
  • Infinitesimal
  • Definition of infinitesimal: If the function $f(x)$ has zero limit at $x\to x_0($ or $x\to\infty)$, then $f(x)$ is called an infinitesimal at $x\to x_0($ or $x\to\infty)$.
  • Comparison of infinitesimals:

-Iso-orderinfinitesimal: $\alpha(x)\text{ and }\beta(x)$ The result of division isconstant C(C is not equal to 0);

-Equivalentinfinitesimal: $\alpha(x)\text{ and }\beta(x)$ divide byconstant 1;

  • Higher-order infinitesimal: $\alpha(x)\text{ and }\beta(x)$ divide by 0; can be denoted as: $\alpha(x)=o(\beta(x))$
  • Low-order infinitesimals: $\alpha(x)\text{ and }\beta(x)$ divide by the opposite order is infinite;
  • $\text{ If }\lim\frac{\alpha (x)^{\color{red}{}}}{\left[\beta (x)\right]^{k}\color{red}}=C\neq 0,\text{ Said }$ α is the k-th order infinitesimal of β;
  • Properties of infinitesimals:

-Property 1:The sum of infinitesimalsis still infinitesimal;

-Property 2:The product of finiteinfinitesimals is still infinitesimal;

-Property 3:The product of infinitesimals andbounded quantitiesis infinitesimal;

  • Infinity
  • Definition of infinity:

If the function $f(x)$ infinite at $x\to x_0($ or $x\to\infty)$, then $f(x)$ is called an infinite quantity at $x\to x_0($ or $x\to\infty)$.

  • Properties of infinity:

-Property 1:The sum of finite positive infinity is infinity;

-Property 2:Theproductof finite infinity is still infinite;

-Property 3:The sum of infinite quantities and bounded variables remains infinitely large;

  • Continuous
  • Definition of continuity
  • Left continuous
  • Right continuous
  • Definition:

Let function $y=f(x)$ be defined in a neighborhood of point $x_{0}$. If when $x\to x_0$, the limit of function $y=f(x)$ exists and equals the value of function $f(x_0)$ at $x_{0}$, i.e., $\lim_{x\to x_0}f(x)=f(x_0)$, then function $y=f(x)$ is said to be continuous at point $x_{0}$.

  • The nature of continuity
  • Properties of continuity functions on closed intervals:
  • Boundedness: $\text{ If f(x) is continuous on [a,b], then f(x) is bounded on [a,b]. }$
  • Maximum value theorem: If $f(x)$ is continuous on $[a,b]$, then $f(x)$ must have a maximum and minimum value on $[a,b]$;
  • Intermediate Value Theorem: If $f(x)$ is continuity on $[a, b]$, and $f(a)\neq f(b)$, then for any number $\mathbf{C}, $ between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ there is at least one $\xi\in(a, b), $ such that $f(\xi){=}C.$

  • 2)$f$ is differentiable within $(a, b)$;
  • 3)f (a)=f (b)
  • So, it can be known: $\text{ then }\exists\xi\in(a,b)\text{ , to use }f^{\prime}(\xi)=0$
  • Derivation conclusion: There is a tangent line at a point parallel to the line connecting points ab -> Lagrange theorem;
  • Lagrange mean value theorem:
  • If the following conditions are met: 1) $f$ is continuously on $[a,b]$ 2) $f$ is differentiable within ($a,b)$;
  • Therefore, there exists $\xi\in(a,b)$ such that $f(b)-f(a)=f^{\prime}(\xi)(b-a)$;
  • Cauchy Mean Value Theorem:
  • If the following conditions are met:
  • 1) $f, F$ on $[a, b]$ continuity $; $
  • 2) $f, F$ is differentiable within $(a, b)$, and $\forall x\in(a, b), F^{\prime}(x)\neq0$
  • Therefore, there exists $\xi\in(a,b)$ such that $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{F(b)-F(a)}=\frac{f^{\prime}(\xi)}{F^{\prime}(\xi)}$;
