Derivative of absolute value function

[@leminator13]

Man, this guy is better than any lecturer I've ever had. Great youtube channel

[@josephparrish7625]

I always started my calc and precalc classes by teaching the definition of absolute value and how to use it. Absolute value is an easy concept but tricky if you don’t know how to apply it. Great lesson!

[@PrimeNewtons]

That's good practice for everyone

[@quest4knowledge-xh3eu]

This stuff is tricky :)

[@ShrutiParashar-u4k]

Visited this channel 1st time in my life and now I'm in love with the way he teaches so calmly

[@MxolisiMazibuko-is2xb]

I love his energy as he teaches, it makes easier to focus on what he says

[@ЯнаЦист-ш3я]

Your videos definitely deserve much more attention, I feel lucky that youtube reccomened me your channel

[@ernie345]

I'm stunned by how you explained the concept. You got a new subscriber

[@abdulmoeed581]

To the point, with perfect explanation, telling exactly what we need to know without stretching it way too long nor just doing the solutions! Subscribed

[@dottemar6597]

Good job. x/|x| also called Signum function (sgn(x)), so applying chain rule produces then dy/dx = 2sgn(2x-3), (x ≠ 3/2). I had the fortune of having a really good Calc book (Adams) when I studied back 20 years ago that hammered down certain basics in the very first chapter, like Heavyside and Signum.

[@oSilly]

Hello! Just wanted to say that your lessons are very well structured! I love how you take the time to explain each little step, making sure we understand the process to achieve the solution, instead of just giving the quick way to solve the derivative of an absolute value immediately. I'll definitely be watching your videos for any other topics I'm confused in. Thank you :)

[@PrimeNewtons]

Thank you for the feedback. Hope to keep improving every day

[@talhaisalive27]

Man, you are my type of teacher. You're so calm and easy catch. Keep doing what you do.

[@HaleyNgo-hi1pv]

this video is amazing! i learned so much in such a short amount of time! thank you sir

[@phiefer3]

Another approach, that gives you the same solution, and is arguably easier is to use a piecewise definition for the absolute value, then you can differentiate each piece individually. IE |x| = x when x>0, or -x when x0 and -1 when x

[@xxasian00bxx44]

came looking for an answer to my question and the explanation answered before the video started. thank you!

[@jacklion109]

This is a real g video. You explain everything so well! As an American student in Calculus BC who forgot this topic, this video was an amazing review. Thank you so much sir.

[@FredDeliege]

Great explanation . With your help you help a lot of people struggling with math...no doubt. Cheers from Belgium

[@AaaAaa-yb2nb]

Omg 😭 i had no idea you could write absolute value like that, thanks so much, now I can really handle these problems

[@gganpatiprasad9112]

I like the energy of this video. Very good explanation. Thank you

[@edgardojaviercanu4740]

The key is the deffinition of the absolute value. A fine work, indeed!

[@dontstudymath]

awesome class man! For a moment I felt like Kamaru Usman from UFC was teaching me a lesson xD. Joke aside, neat explanation.

[@ZmQuad]

Thank you very much for this video. i have been struggling for two days, to differentiate the following: (x)ln|x|. i kept geting ln|x|+1, and ln|x|-1, but the calculator i use, was only evaluating the ln|x|+1. i could not figure out why, and this explains it. Thank you very much.

[@davyfoad7264]

thanks man, you helped me on my test

[@albajasadur2694]

Why don't we split the absolute value x into three ranges, x < 0, x=0, and x> 0 and do the differentiation in each range? The derivative expression x/|x| is not defined at x=0, implying abs(x) is not differentiable at x=0.

[@richardrobertson1886]

Wouldn’t it be easier to just view the absolute value function as a piecewise function?

[@soun-jawalters1773]

Excellent explanation. Subscribed.

[@solipse.]

Interestingly, you can flip the absolute of the function and the function (numerator and denominator) and it still works. we want the derivative to divide by zero when the function is 0. and the function divide itself with the modulus one producing “1” * the derivative of function. then because one of them is modulus and function is flip, so the derivative is also flip on the x axis, when the function was increasing will be the negative of derivative of those interval, we will retain the negative sign of function but not from the modulus producing the flip we want in those interval which makes it correct. pretty neat.

[@kevinkasp]

I love your channel so much.

[@Hiraeth256]

Beautifully done. Thank you mate.

[@mihnwq9211]

Really good if you don't want to split the function into two parts as in your example , based on the fact if x >= 3/2

[@Sooha20]

Amazing video ❤

[@josephhassen]

I just took app. Maths exam 5hrs ago the last question was to differentiate this function and find the absolute extreme values. Unfortunately I missed it because I didn't know how it worked then. Now that I know it, I'm very disappointed for losing a 3pts. question

[@PrimeNewtons]

Aww. I'm sorry. You are better equipped for next time.

[@Jason-ot6jv]

Great video! keep up the great work!

[@jumpman8282]

When you learn something you basically already knew, but never thought about. I feel so terribly _inside_ the box right now.

[@capybara-k6g]

is it the same for || x ||, norms of a vector?

[@Emine-ri7ex]

it's very interesting video but how can we find the second derivative of absolute value function to determine the inflection point, concavity, and related character of the function?

[@PrimeNewtons]

I don't know

[@Emine-ri7ex]

@@PrimeNewtons what it mean

[@Noname61574]

i assume you can implement quotient rule and chain rule to get an answer

[@ant.pac7]

I would like to correct something if i may: mod(x) is actually equal to (√x)² and not √(x²). Square root rule states that the polynomial/variable inside any sqrt must be positive or zero. Since x² is always positive, you don't have to put mod around the x in √(x²) but x can be negative in (√x)² which would be undefined.

[@onlqcngel]

that was really helpful, thank you!

[@ayanahmed5114]

can you do another epsilon delta proof

[@wsellias7360]

Thankyou! this was so helpfull! :D

[@Christian_Martel]

The advantage of writing y = |x|, and y’ = x/|x| is that clearly shows that y’ is undefined at critical point x=0.

[@cowboyclay8783]

thank you for the help sir

[@wasdc]

i never heard absolute value of x is = sqrt x^2. is this a definition that is true in all cases or did you just make an assumption here? thanks

[@PrimeNewtons]

For all real x, the square root of x² is +x or -x. Which is |x|

[@surendrakverma555]

Very good. Thanks 👍

[@klara9314]

but what if we have a number multiplied by the absolute value of a function? can we find the derivate of the absolute value separately (like you did here) and just multiply it at the end with the number we have? please if u can answer me becaues too soon i have an exam 😫

[@williepham9562]

So can we generate a formular of derivative of an absolute function like this: f' (|x|) = |f'(x)| ?

[@atzuras]

'u' substitution seems a bit unnecessary since the chain rule works fine and it is often introduced earlier in the class. Fine proof anyway

[@MetalFaceDOOM3141]

I thought the dx of abs(x) is the sign function and therefore abs(x)/x?

[@MetalFaceDOOM3141]

I just realised it does not make a difference😂

[@KipIngram]

Well, this is equal to 2x-3 for x > 1.5, and -(2x-3) for x < 1.5. So the derivative is 2 for x > 1.5, and -2 for x < 1.5. It's undefined at x = 1.5.

[@AmandaGumede-qv2cl]

im sorry,but ive been avoiding this, yhooo you r so handsome

[@rob876]

x/|x| = sign(x) = -1 when x < 0, 1 when x >= 0

[@cameron_graham95]

Brilliant😁

[@joelgerard7869]

Good stuff!

[@isidorolorenzo802]

You should've taken into account the exceptions for each and every function, that is to say, X=0 & X=3/2, respectively, since the functions don't admit derivative for these values.

[@TheDuckTeamYT]

so what if you just multiply the exponents at (x^(2))^1/2 which is x^1 and now you have x = | x | which is not true.

[@googlegogel2673]

Simplifying a function changes it. f(x)=sqrt(x^2) and f(x)=x^1 is not the same function.

[@Nyambenyambe-xc9ib]
