CALCULUS 30

DEMONSTRATE UNDERSTANDING OF
TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTION DERIVATIVES
AND THEIR APPLICATIONS.
1. Differentiating Logarithmic Functions
 C30.7
 Demonstrate understanding of transcendental
function derivatives and their applications.
1. Differentiating Logarithmic Functions
 Logarithmic functions were introduced in Math
B30.
 We will review basic properties of logarithms, and
then move in differentiating them.
 Laws of Logarithms
1. Product Law
2. Quotient Law
3. Power Law
 There are 2 special types of logarithms we could see
1. Common Logarithm – has base 10 (which is usually
not written) → logx
2. Natural Logarithm – has base e
(e =2.71828182845...) →lnx
Example
 Write each of the following as the logarithm of a
single term. You do not have to evaluate the
logarithm.
 We now move on to the derivative of logarithmic
functions.
Examples
 Find the derivative of
 What if there is a function inside the logarithm? Our
derivative changes slightly.
Examples
 Find the derivative of
 Sometimes, depending on the functions given inside
the logarithm, it may be easier to use the law of
logarithms first, before trying to differentiate.
Examples
 Find the derivative of the following by using
logarithm laws before differentiating
 Finally, we may also be asked to use more complex
methods to differentiate functions involving
logarithms.
Example
 Find the derivative of the function

2. Differentiating Exponential Functions
 C30.7
 Demonstrate understanding of transcendental
function derivatives and their applications.
2. Differentiating Exponential Functions
 An exponential function is something that looks like
𝑦 = 𝑏𝑥
 You may think (based on the power rule) that the
derivative of 𝑦 = 𝑏 𝑥 is
𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑥
 This is NOT the case.
= 𝑥𝑏 𝑥−1
 There are 3 situations that you will encounter when
dealing with exponential functions.

3. Limits Involving Trigonometric Functions
 C30.7
 Demonstrate understanding of transcendental
function derivatives and their applications.
3. Limits Involving Trigonometric Functions
 In our study of limits, we did not touch trigonometric
functions.
 This is because there are special properties when we
look at limits involving trigonometric functions.
 They are:
 In any of the questions you will be asked, you will
need to manipulate your expression into looking like
one of these before evaluating the limit.

4. Derivatives of Sine and Cosine
 C30.7
 Demonstrate understanding of transcendental
function derivatives and their applications.
4. Derivatives of Sine and Cosine
 There are 2 situations for each function.
 One in which there is just an x inside the function,
and another where there is some other function
inside the trigonometric function.
Examples
 Find the derivative of each of the following functions.
𝐼𝑓 𝑦 = cos 𝑥 ,
𝐼𝑓 𝑦 = cos 𝑢 ,
𝑑𝑦
𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛
= −𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
𝑑𝑥
