What is the name for values of an independent variable for a function that make its derivative equal to 0 or not defined but are not within the domain of the original function?

That sounds a lot like a critical point to me.

How do you differentiate a cosine function That is what is the derivative of the cosine of x with respect to the independent variable x?
The derivative of cosine of x is simply the negative sine of x. In mathematical terms f'(x) = d/dx[cos(x)] = -sin(x)
What is the function definition?
function is the relationship between independent variable & dependent variable i.e. F:R-R
What is the derivative of x divided by y?
You have to specify more information than that. If y is an independent variable and you're talking about the derivative with respect to x, it would be 1/y.
How do you identify the range of a function?
The range of a function is the interval (or intervals) over which the independent variable is valid, i.e. results in a valid value of the function.
What is the derivative of 4pi?
zero. In this problem, since there is no variable, the derivative is zero.
What is the difference between differential and derivative in the field of calculus?
The derivative refers to the rate at which a function changes with respect to another measure. The differential refers to the actual change in a function across a parameter. The differential of a function is equal to its derivative multiplied by the differential of the independent variable . The derivative of a function is the the LIMIT of the ratio of the increment of a function to the increment of the independent variable as the latter tends to zero.
What is the derivative of 8x2?
The derivative of a function tells you how it changes in response to a change in a specific variable. The derivative of a linear function (like y = 2x + 3) with respect to its independent variable is the slope of the line (in this case, two): how much the line rises or falls when "x" changes by one. The expression 8x2 does not involve any variables, and thus never changes. Its derivative is therefore zero. There is no variable involved, so the result is always 16. Changing the input variable (of which is there is none) has zero effect on the answer.
What is the derivative of 4 square root 2?
The derivative of any constant - any expression that does not involve the independent variable - is zero.
Do the dependent variable act as the input of a function and the independent variable act as the output of the function?
No.
What is the derivative of just a constant?
0 A derivative is the rate of change of a function as another variable changes. As there is no change to a constant, the derivative is necessarily 0.
Where will the independent variable be in a rational function?
With the dependent variable because it depends on the independent one.
Is the set of the independent variable of the function a domain?
No, because a function can also be defined between two interdependent variables so that there is no independent variable.
How do you differentiate a cosine function That is what is the derivative of the cosine of x with respect to the independent variable x?
The derivative of cosine of x is simply the negative sine of x. In mathematical terms f'(x) = d/dx[cos(x)] = -sin(x)
What is the function definition?
function is the relationship between independent variable & dependent variable i.e. F:R-R
How do you find the directional derivative of any function?
You take the derivative using only one variable. The other variables act as constants.
How do you find the minimum and maximum points of a function?
Set the first derivative of the function equal to zero, and solve for the variable.
What is the difference between nonlinear and linear functions?
Linear function:No variable appears in the function to any power other than 1.A periodic input produces no new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a number; second derivative is zero.The graph of the function is a straight line.Non-linear function:A variable appears in the function to a power other than 1.A periodic function at the input produces new frequencies in the output.The function's first derivative is a function; second derivative is not zero.The graph of the function is not a straight line.
