Advanced Applications of Derivatives for JEE 1. Rate of Change Rate of change measures how one quantity changes with respect to another. If \( y = f(x) \), then the rate of change is \( f'(x) \). Example: \( f(x) = 3x^2 \) gives \( f'(x) = 6x \). 2. Monotonicity If \( f'(x) > 0 \), the function is increasing; if \( f'(x) < 0 \), it is decreasing. Advanced Applications of Derivatives for JEE 1. Newton-Leibniz Formula The Newton-Leibniz formula relates the integral of a function to its antiderivative. It states that if \( F(x) \) is the antiderivative of \( f(x) \), then: \[ \int_a^b f(x)\,dx = F(b) - F(a) \] Example: Evaluate \( \int_1^3 2x \, dx \): \[ \int_1^3 2x \, dx = x^2 \Big|_1^3 = 9 - 1 = 8 \] 2. Jansen's Inequality Jensen's inequality applies to convex functions, stating that for any convex function \( f \) and real numbers \( x_1, x_2, ...
