2016年11月1日 · Derivative of function and unit step function. 2. Why is the derivative of these functions a secant line? 0.

The derivative of the outer function brings the 2 down in front as 2*(xi−μ), and the derivative of the inner function (xi−μ) is -1. So the -2 comes from multiplying the two derivatives according to the extend power rule: 2*(xi−μ)*-1 = -2(xi−μ) $\endgroup$

In simple words, the rate of change of function is called as a derivative and differential is the actual change of function. We can also define a derivative in terms of differentials as the ratio of differentials of function by the differential of a variable. A derivative is the change in a function ($\frac{dy}{dx}$); a differential is the ...

Actually, with an appropriate mode of convergence, when a sequence of differentiable functions converge to the unit step, it can be shown that, their derivatives converge to the delta function. That's why, one may take the derivative of the unit step function to be defined as the limit of the derivatives, which is the delta function.

2017年9月17日 · Considering derivative of discontinuity as del(x). Derivative of sgn(x) would be 2*del(x), as there exist a discontinuity at x=0 and a change in step by 2 units (from -1 to +1). Note : This method is being used in mathematical modeling of signals. Where del(t) is an unit impluse function. And sgn is made up of two step functions.

Derivative of a point equal to its output in a function that's continuous in a domain. 51 Is it possible for the derivative of a function to grow arbitrarily faster than the function itself?

The derivative of a function (if it exists) is just another function. Saying that a function is differentiable just means that the derivative exists, while saying that a function has a continuous derivative means that it is differentiable, and its derivative is a continuous function.

$\delta$ function is not strictly a function. If used as a normal function, it does not ensure you to get to consistent results. While mathematically rigorous $\delta$ function is usually not what physicists want. Physicists' $\delta$ function is a peak with very small width, small compared to other scales in the problem but not infinitely small.
