When you run the file, MATLAB displays the following result РІв‚¬вЂ™

The chain rule states that, derivative of the function of a function h(x) = f(g(x)) with respect to x is, x (n-1)Р”Р„ direct outcome of this rule is that the derivative of any constant is zero, i.e., if y = k, any constant, then The polynomial or elementary power rule states that, if y = f(x) = x n, then f' = n. The quotient rule states that if f and g are two functions, f' and g' are their derivatives respectively, then, The product rule states that if f and g are two functions, f' and g' are their derivatives respectively, then, The sum and subtraction rules state that if f and g are two functions, f' and g' are their derivatives respectively, then, H(x) = af(x) + bg(x) with respect to x is given by РІв‚¬вЂ™ For this purpose, we will write f'(x) for a first order derivative and f'(x) for a second order derivative.Р”Р‡ollowing are the rules for differentiation РІв‚¬вЂ™ Rule 1Р”Р‡or any functions f and g and any real numbers a and b are the derivative of the function РІв‚¬вЂ™ Let us briefly state various equations or rules for differentiation of functions and verify these rules.

Octave executes the code and returns the following result РІв‚¬вЂ™

When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result РІв‚¬вЂ™Р”Р‡ollowing is Octave equivalent of the above calculation РІв‚¬вЂ™ In its simplest form, you pass the function you want to differentiate to diff command as an argument.Р”Р‡or example, let us compute the derivative of the function f(t) = 3t 2 + 2t -2 ExampleР”В¬reate a script file and type the following code into it РІв‚¬вЂ™ You can use the same technique to find the derivative of a matrix.MATLAB provides the diff command for computing symbolic derivatives. What is the partial derivative of f with respect to x? The diff function will help calculates the partial derivative of the expression with respect to that variable. To find the derivative of an expression containing more than one variable, you must specify the variable that you want to differentiate with respect to. To find the second derivative in Matlab, use the following code diff(f,2)Р”В«oth will give the same result.

constant = sym('5') Р”Вiff(constant) Second derivative in Matlab We know that the derivative of any constant term is null but if for some reasons you want to find the derivative of a constant using Matlab, here is how you need to proceed. Which returns the following ( You can decide to run one diff at a time, to prevent the confusion of having all answers displayed all at the same time) To find the derivatives of f, gand h in Matlab using the syms function, here is how the code will look like syms x LetРІР‚в„ўs consider the following examples Example 1
