Mathematics Unit-3
- 2. Definition of Derivative: Let f(x) be a function of the
variable x. The value of f(x) at x = a is f(a). When x = a+h, the
value of the function f is f(a+h) so (a + h) f (a) is the change in
the value of the function f, when the value of x changes from a to
a+h. Shows the relative changes in the value of the function f,
when the value of a is increased by h. (a h) f(a)f h
- 3. If the limit of (l) exists, when h 0, it is called the
derivative of the function f(x) at x = a and it is denoted by f(a).
Therefore, For any x in the domain of f, 0 ( ) ( ) '( ) lim h f a h
f a f a h 0 ( ) ( ) '(x) lim h f x h f x f h
- 4. f(x) is called the derivative of f(x) with respect to x. If
y= f (x), then the derivative of f is also denoted by dy / dx or d
/ dx [f (x)].
- 5. Formulae for Differentiation: If y = c, where c is a
constant, dy / dx = 0. If y = xn, where n is rational no. dy / dx =
n x n-1 If y = ex, then dy / dx = ex if y = ax, where a > 0,
then dy/dx = ax logea If y = logex, then dy/dx = 1/x.
- 6. Composite function A composite function is a function that
is composed of two other functions. For the two functions f and g,
the composite function or the composition of f and g, is defined
by
- 7. The function g(x) is substituted for x into the function
f(x). For example, the function F(x)=(2x+6)4 could be considered as
a composition of the functions, f(x)=x4 and g(x)=2x+6. However, it
could also be written as a composition of f(x)=(2x)4 and g(x)=x+3.
Often, a function can be written as a composition of several
different combinations of functions.
- 8. Implicit Differentiation A function whose value can only be
computed indirectly fr om one or more of the independent variables.
For example, in the equationx2 + y2 = 1, y is an implicit fu nction
of x.
- 9. Applications of derivative in economic theory Today's
sophisticated international markets have helped foster the rapid
growth in derivative instruments. In the hands of knowledgeable
investors, derivatives can derive profit from: Changes in interest
rates and equity markets around the world Currency exchange rate
shifts Changes in global supply and demand for commodities such as
agricultural products, precious and industrial metals, and energy
products such as oil and natural gas
- 10. The two most widely recognized benefits attributed to
derivative instruments are price discovery and risk management.
They Improve Market Efficiency for the Underlying Asset Derivatives
Also Help Reduce Market Transaction Costs
- 11. Market equilibrium Market equilibrium is a market state
where the supply in the market is equal to the demand in the
market. The equilibrium price is the price of a good or service
when the supply of it is equal to the demand for it in the market.
If a market is at equilibrium, the price will not change unless an
external factor changes the supply or demand, which results in a
disruption of the equilibrium.
- 12. The operation of the market depends on the interaction
between suppliers and demanders. Market equilibrium exists when
quantity supplied is equal to quantity demanded. Note that there is
just one price where this is true! The equilibrium price is the
price that will generally prevail in a perfectly competitive market
that is not subject to governmental intervention. When a market is
in equilibrium, there is no tendency for the market price to
change. In other words, the equilibrium price is stable under the
existing market conditions.
- 13. 1.
- 14. Marginal Revenue Marginal revenue ( MR ) is the change in
total revenue resulting from selling an extra unit of goods. MR =
TR/Q, where TR = change in TR due to change in Q, Q = change in
Q
- 15. Price elasticity of supply Price elasticity of supply (PES)
measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in
price. It is necessary for a firm to know how quickly, and
effectively, it can respond to changing market conditions,
especially to price changes. The following equation can be used to
calculate PES. While the coefficient for PES is positive in value,
it may range from 0, perfectly inelastic, to infinite, perfectly
elastic. 2.
- 16. Income Elasticity Demand The Income Elasticity of Demand
measures the rate of response of quantity demand due to a raise (or
lowering) in a consumers income. The formula for the Income
Elasticity of Demand (IEoD) is given by: IEoD = (% Change in
Quantity Demanded)/(% Change in Income)
- 17. How Do We Interpret the Income Elasticity of Demand? Income
elasticity of demand is used to see how sensitive the demand for a
good is to an income change. The higher the income elasticity, the
more sensitive demand for a good is to income changes. A very high
income elasticity suggests that when a consumer's income goes up,
consumers will buy a great deal more of that good. A very low price
elasticity implies just the opposite, that changes in a consumer's
income has little influence on demand.
- 18. Elasticity of Supply We can study the resulting changes in
the supply of a commodity, when its price changes, using the
elasticity of supply. Elasticity of supply is defined as Elasticity
of supply = relative change in supply / relative change in price If
the supply function is x = g (p), the elasticity of supply is given
by Elasticity of supply = (p/x ). (dx/ dp)
- 19. Suppose P0 is the initial price of a commodity and X0 is
its supply. Suppose, when the price becomes p1 the supply becomes
s1. In this case, the elasticity of supply is given by Elasticity
of supply = 1 01 2 1 2 1 0 x xp p p p x x
- 20. Marginal Revenue Marginal revenue is defined as follows:
Marginal Revenue (M. R.) = Change in total revenue / Change in
demand If the demand function is p = f(x), then the total revenue R
is given by R = xp = x. f(x). The first derivative of R w.r.t. x is
called the marginal revenue . Thus, M.R. = dR / dx.
- 21. Relation between average revenue, Marginal revenue and
Price elasticity of demand, There is a crucial relationship between
the AR, MR and elasticity of demand, which is used extensively in
the theory of pricing. The relationship is expressed in the form of
formula,
- 22. 3.
- 23. But, AQ is marginal revenue and SQ is average revenue
corresponding to point B at OQ level of output. Hence, equation
(2.9) can be written as 4.
- 24. The above relationship can be utilised to find out the
marginal revenue corresponding to the average revenue at any given
level of quantity sold, provided the price elasticity of demand is
known. The relation between AR, MR and elasticity of demand (e) can
now be written as 5.
- 25. Maximum and Minimum Values DEFINITION: A function f has an
absolute maximum (or global maximum) at c if f(c) f(x) for all x in
D, where D is the domain of f. The number f(c) is called the
maximum value of f on D. Similarly, f has an absolute minimum (or
global minimum) at c if f(c) f(x) for all x in D and the number
f(c) is called the minimum value of f on D. The maximum and minimum
values of f are called the extreme values of f.
- 26. DEFINITION: A function f has a local maximum (or relative
maximum) at c if f(c) f(x) when x is near c. [This means that f(c)
f(x) for all x in some open interval containing c.] Similarly, f
has a local minimum (or relative minimum) at c if f(c) f(x) when x
is near c.

- 29. Profit-maximizing The profit-maximizing level of output is
a production level that achieves the greatest level of economic
profit given existing market conditions and production cost. For a
perfectly competitive firm, this entails adjusting the production
level in response to the going market price.
- 30. Three Views Profit-maximizing output can be identified in
one of three ways--directly with economic profit, with a comparison
of total revenue and total cost, and with a comparison of marginal
revenue and marginal cost.
- 31. (1) Profit: First, profit maximization can be illustrated
with a direct evaluation of profit. If the profit curve is at its
peak, then profit is maximized. In the top panel, the profit curve
achieves its highest level at 7 pounds of zucchinis. At other
output levels, profit is less 8.
- 32. (2) Total Revenue and Total Cost: Second, profit
maximization can be identified by a comparison of total revenue and
total cost. The quantity of output that achieves the greatest
difference of total revenue over total cost is profit maximization.
In the middle panel, the vertical gap between the total revenue and
total cost curves is the greatest at 7 pounds of zucchinis. For
smaller or larger output levels, the gap is either less or the
total cost curve lies above the total revenue curve. 9.
- 33. (3) Marginal Revenue and Marginal Cost: Third, profit
maximization can be identified by a comparison of marginal revenue
and marginal cost. If marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost,
then profit cannot be increased by changing the level of
production. Increasing production adds more to cost than revenue,
meaning profit declines. Decreasing production subtracts more from
revenue than from cost, meaning profit also declines. In the bottom
panel, the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves intersect at 7
pounds of zucchinis. At larger or smaller output levels, marginal
cost exceeds marginal revenue or marginal revenue exceeds marginal
cost. 10.
- 34. Cost Minimization Strategies: Cost minimization aims to
achieve the most cost-effective way of delivering goods and
services to the required level of quality
- 35. Two approaches to cost minimization (1) Possible sources of
cost reductions (1): Eliminating waste & avoiding duplication (
lean production ) Simplifying processes and procedures Outsourcing
non-core activities (e.g. transaction processing, payroll, call
handling) Negotiating better pricing with suppliers
- 36. (2) Possible sources of cost reductions (2) Pruning product
ranges and customer accounts to eliminate unprofitable business
Using the most effective methods of training and recruitment
Introducing flexible working practices Aggressive control of
overheads (e.g. banning first/business class travel)
