To find the derivative of y=5x3−8x using the first principle, we follow these steps:
Step 1: Define y and y+Δy.
We are given y=5x3−8x.
Then, we replace x with x+Δx to find y+Δy:
y+Δy=5(x+Δx)3−8(x+Δx)
Step 2: Expand the expression for y+Δy.
First, expand (x+Δx)3:
(x+Δx)3=x3+3x2(Δx)+3x(Δx)2+(Δx)3
Substitute this back into the equation for y+Δy:
y+Δy=5(x3+3x2Δx+3x(Δx)2+(Δx)3)−8(x+Δx)
y+Δy=5x3+15x2Δx+15x(Δx)2+5(Δx)3−8x−8Δx
Step 3: Find Δy.
Subtract y from y+Δy:
Δy=(5x3+15x2Δx+15x(Δx)2+5(Δx)3−8x−8Δx)−(5x3−8x)
Δy=5x3+15x2Δx+15x(Δx)2+5(Δx)3−8x−8Δx−5x3+8x
Combine like terms:
Δy=15x2Δx+15x(Δx)2+5(Δx)3−8Δx
Step 4: Divide Δy by Δx.
Factor out Δx from the expression for Δy:
ΔxΔy=ΔxΔx(15x2+15xΔx+5(Δx)2−8)
Cancel Δx:
ΔxΔy=15x2+15xΔx+5(Δx)2−8
Step 5: Take the limit as Δx→0.
The derivative dxdy is defined as the limit of ΔxΔy as Δx approaches 0:
dxdy=limΔx→0(15x2+15xΔx+5(Δx)2−8)
As Δx→0, the terms 15xΔx and 5(Δx)2 become 0:
dxdy=15x2+15x(0)+5(0)2−8
dxdy=15x2−8
The derivative of y=5x3−8x is:
dxdy=15x2−8
