PARAMETRIC DIFFERENTIATION EXPLAINED-12TH MATHS NCERT -QUESTION WITH SOLUTION

SECOND ORDER DERIVATIVES

Here, you will be introduced to problems on Second Order Derivatives. Rolle's Theorem and its geometrical application is also introduced. In Class 12 Mathematics, you are generally asked to solve a lot of identities in Differentiation , involving second order derivatives. This lesson prepares you for this. There is also the statement of Rolle's Theorem with its geometrical implication which is introduced. This lesson is aligned with the class 12 syllabus which only focuses on application of Rolle's Theorem. Hence, the proof of Rolle's Theorem is not mentioned. I am a math educator teaching mathematics for over two decades. I have tried to simplify this topic for you. This lesson is a good takeaway for Class 12 students of the ISC, CBSE or any other board.

MORE PROBLEMS ON DERIVATIVE AS A RATE MEASURE

Here, you will learn how to work out problems using derivative as a rate measure. You will learn how to calculate the rate of change of the variables in each problem. We touch upon problems in Geometry like a cone and sphere. Some of the problems discusses include: If an edge of a cube is increasing at a certain rate, at what rate is the volume increasing? If a girl of a certain height walks away from a lamppost, how much is the length of her shadow increasing? Online classes are also provided. You can choose between specific topics or the entire course. MCQS and case study questions are also included. You can contact me on mathmadeeasy22@gmail.com

INCREASING AND DECREASING FUNCTIONS

Here is another video on Applications of Derivatives for you!. Here, I will be decreasing increasing, strictly increasing, decreasing and strictly decreasing functions and how to determine the interval in which these functions are increasing or decreasing. Again, we go back to quadratic inequalities and use that to determine the interval.

DIFFERENTIATION FORMULAS

Presenting as many formulas as possible to give you a quick revision before your exams. This lesson deals with formulas for Differentiation. While studying formulas is not the way to learn Mathematics, this is just a quick revision before your exams. Being a math educator for over two decades , I am putting up this video to help you as I know how important it is for you to know your formulas in Mathematics. I have started with basic differentiation formulas, then proceeded to trigonometric differentiation. The chain rule for differentiation composite functions is explained. Then various methods for implicit differentiation and logarithmic differentiation are explained. Parametric differentiation is also touched upon. The session concludes with the statements of Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem, Rolle's Theorem and its applications. A good takeaway for mathematics class 12 students.

INDETERMINATE FORMS

Here, 2 problems are discussed mainly, limits of the form infinity/infinity. The first problem deals with the numerator and denominator as trigonometric functions, both tending to infinity. The second one has the numerator as a logarithmic function and the denominator as a trig function. Trigonometric properties are used here.

USE OF DIFFERENTIATION IN APPROXIMATIONS

Here, in this video, you will learn how to calculate approximations using Differentiation. Here, we use the concept of differential to find the approximate value of a function. We can find the values easily with a calculator as well! If y = f(x), we learn the differential of y, and learn the formulae used to calculate the approximate values of y. This video is application oriented. It focuses on solving problems based on the formula. We also learn about absolute error, approximate error and %error. As a teacher, I have found students getting confused about approximate error and actual value of the function. I have explained the difference in the video. So, watch this video to understand approximations. Online classes are available with emphasis on MCQ'S and case study questions. You can choose from a specific topic or the entire syllabus.
