  • We will find the second derivative of sin(x^2) but without the chain rule, power rule, and product rule. Instead, we will just need ONE limit! This is a hidden gem for limit enthusiasts! The key is to use the limit definition of the second symmetric derivative to find the second derivative of sin(x^2). Note, that if the function is second-differentiable in the usual sense, then the second symmetric derivative is equal to the regular second derivative. Since sin(x^2) is always differentiable, so let's find d^2/dx^2(sin(x^2)) with this rarely-taught approach. We will also need two famous limits, the limit as x goes to 0 of sin(x)/x and the limit as x goes to 0 of (1-cos(x))/x.

    My students used to keep a catalog of the outrageous things I said over the year. I think "just give up" and "don't be happy to quickly" satisfy the criteria!. I have one question: Doesn't the "'symmetric derivative" (which looks akin to a central finite difference) lead to f' = 0 for absolute value at the critical point?

    14:56 (x+h)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xh, (x-h)^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2xh, select alpha=x^2+y^2 and beta=2xh and you didn't need the sum to product formula :)

    17:07 After the 4th line, I know why he factored out the 2sin(x^2) but i don’t necessarily get how. The 2nd term in that question doesn’t have the factor sin(x^2)?? am i just reading it wrong
    Also, I don’t understand why he uses the symmetric derivative for this function to begin with. I don’t quite know if it’s easier, but the function itself has a derivative with the domain of all real numbers, so wouldn’t it be easier to just take the derivative of that again?? i think he said that the symmetric derivative doesn’t imply the existence of the first derivative but if the first derivative does exist then what’s the point?

    • @jbucata
      @jbucata 6 місяців тому

      It's not the 2nd term in the numerator, but the 3rd term (which is where the "-1" then came from).
      As he explained at the beginning, if you know the normal derivative exists, then the symmetric derivative also exists, and the two are equal. Since you can choose either representation, evidently the symmetric derivative was easier to work with.

      you can use symmetric derivative definition in place of the regular derivative, they should be the same, except sometimes the symmetric derivative will you give you an answer while the regular derivative does not (when there is a sharp turn in the graph, like f(2) = |x - 2|)
      quoting wikipedia, "If a function is differentiable (in the usual sense) at a point, then it is also symmetrically differentiable, but the converse is not true"
      this applies for any nth derivative, not just the 2nd

  • @potato4521
    @potato4521 4 місяці тому

    I was able to do it by applying the derivative twice so d/dx (sin(x^2)) = cos(x^2)*2x.
    Then d/dx (cos(x^2)*2x). using the product rule you get -sin(x^2)*2x*2x + cos(x^2)*2.
    This simplifies to -4x^2*sin(x^2) + 2*cos(x^2)

  • @antonmaier2263
    @antonmaier2263 6 місяців тому +4

    Ok, i have an issue. If you assume sin(alpha+beta) for sin(A). Youre also implying a relationship between A and B.
    You might say, well ive got x+h and x-h but they are squared. So if i would have gotten to this point i probably wouldnt have persued this attempt because of the implied relationship whuch you cant see in the limit.

      What the other poster said. He skipped a step in deriving the formula for the second derivative and just gave it to you. But all you do is apply the symmetric derivative once to get the first derivative then apply it again to the first derivative. If you want to see the derivation, search for centered finite differences.

    Proving that the second symmetric derivative equals the second derivative, on the assumption that the second derivative exists, is not too bad; the function must be differentiable on a neighbourhood of the point, so you can use L'Hôpital's Rule. That reduces it to the symmetric derivative of the derivative.
    However, proving that the symmetric derivative equals the derivative, on the assumption that the derivative exists, is harder, because it might not be differentiable anywhere else, so you can't use L'Hôpital's Rule. Instead, you can use the same kind of tricks that you'd use to prove the Chain Rule.
