1 INTRODUCTORY MATHEMATICS FOR ECONOMICS MSC S. LECTURE 1: DIFFRENTIATION. HUW DAVID DIXON CARDIFF BUSINESS SCHOOL. SEPTEMBER
2 1. Some Definitions. An Integer: A positive or negative whole number, as in counting. -3,-,-1,0,1,,3 A rational number: the ratio of two integers. 11, 3 3 An irrational number: cannot be represented as the ratio of two integers. E.g.,.. Real Numbers and the Real line : the set of all rational and irrational numbers. This is a continuum : o ={:- < <}=(-,) o + ={:0 < < }=[0,) o Open interval: includes end-points. (0,1) means strictly greater than 0 and strictly less than 1 o Closed interval: includes end-points. [0,1]. o Half open interval: includes one of endpoints, but not the other. [0,1) includes 0, but not 1. In economics, use real numbers most of the time: might be output, price, advertising ependiture etc. This is an approimation (cannot set a price ), but as in physics, seems to work well. 1.
3 . Functions f. takes a real number (input) and transforms it into another real number (output). y = f(). You take a real number input and it is mapped onto output y. f(): y=+(3.) y=f() f(): y= y=f() A function is 1-1 if each input has a unique output, and each output has a unique input. If we look above, y= is not 1-1. the output 100 can be generated by two values of : +10 and
4 y=+3 is monotonic: it is always strictly increasing and y gets larger as gets larger. It is also 1-1. Each value of y is associated with one value of and vice versa. y= is non-monotonic. For <0 y is decreasing in ; for >0 it is increasing in. it is not 1-1: for each value of y 0 there are two values of which generate it, the positive and negative square roots. y=+3 is invertible: we can write y as a function of and as a function of y: y
5 Demand curve: X 1 Inverse Demand curve: P 1 Revenue Function: P X=output/quantity: P=price X R XP. X.(1 X) X X In Economics, we usually deal with the inverse demand curve, and treat price as a function of Quantity (Alfred Marshall, British economist in late C19th) That is why price is on the vertical ais! 1.5
6 3. Differentiation made simple. Differentiation was invented by Sir Isaac Newton, the great British 17 th Century Physicist (Principia Mathematica). If you take a function and differentiate it, you get the SLOPE of the function. the change in y is called y, the change in is. The ratio of the changes is y The derivative is the ratio as becomes very small. dy For eample: y at =1, y=1. As becomes very small, the ratio is. d y y 1 ( changes from 1 to ) 3 (1 to 4) ( changes from 1 to 1.1) 0.1 (1 to 1.1) (1 to 1.01) (1 to 1.001) (1 to ).001 This is also called the tangent or slope of the function y 1.6
7 At the point y=1, =1 the green line is y. The red line is the tangent at that point (1,1) which has the dy slope. d 1.7
8 The Rules of Differentiation: Rule 1: Power rule. y a n dy an d n1 Eamples: y ; f ' 5 4 y 3 ; f ' 15 y ; f ' Note: notation dy d f ' Rule : Natural Logarithm. y ln a dy 1 d Eample y ln 3 dy 1 d Rule 3: Eponential Function. y e a dy ae d a Eample y e ; f ' e y e ; f ' e 1.8
9 These are the basic rules used in economics: we do not need to use trigonometric functions (sin, cosine etc) ecept for very specialised uses. We then combine Rules 1-3 with further rules: these deal with differentiation of combinations of two functions f() and g(). The aim is to take a comple epression (equation) and break it down into simpler parts f and g. Rules 1-3 can be used to differentiate f and g themselves, Rule 4: Product rule. Eamples: (a) y e f( ) ; f ' g ( ) e ; g' e dy f ' gg' f d e e e [ ] y f( ). g( ) dy f '. gg'. f d This is the function. We break it up into two simple functions We apply rules 1 and 3 to the simple functions We then apply the product rule 4 to the two simple functions 1.9
10 (b) y 4 4 f( ) 4 ; f ' 4 g ( ) ; g' 3 dy d 3 f ' gg' f we know the answer here: but the product rule gives us the same answer as the rule 1: it shows the rules are consistent! (c) y ln f( ) ; f ' 1 g ( ) ln g ; ' dy d 1 1 ' ' ln. ln 1 f gg f 1.10
11 Rule 5: Function of a function (Chain rule) This is a widely used rule: you break down the epression so that there are two or more stages. Eamples: (a) We start with: Break it down into two epressions we know how to differentiate Apply the rule y f( z); z g( ) dy dy dz. f '. g ' d dz d y ln y ln z z dy dy dz 1 d dz d z 1.11
12 (b) y e y e z dy d z dy dz z e e dz d (c) reciprocals 1 y y z ; z 1 dy dy dz z. 4 d dz d 3 1.1
13 (e) eponential y e z y e z w ( ab) w( ab) dy dy dz dw e z wa e ( a) a a b d ( ) dz dw d The last rule is actually implied by the previous two rules, but we state it for convenience! Rule 6: quotient rule. u ( ) y v ( ) dy v. u ' u. v' d v 1.13
14 For eample: e y 3 u e ; u' e 3 ; ' 6 v v dy v. u ' u. v' 6 e 6e 4 d v 9 ( 1) e 3 3 To summarise: You take function. You use rules 4-6 to break down the epression into simple parts that you can differentiate using rules
15 4 Economics applications. (a) Revenue and marginal revenue. The inverse demand curve: (Price depends on output). Revenue: price times output: MR: differentiate using produce rule Rearrange, using elasticity formula P 1 P d P' dp P P( ) R ( ) P. ( ) dr P ' P d P' P(1 ) P 1 P1 Let us look at some particular demand curves: these are ones you will see used in economics often! 1.15
16 Linear Demand. The Demand curve: a is the intercept term. It is the price when output is zero. a P P ( ) a R ( ).( a) dr P ' P ( a ) d a. Note that marginal revenue always has a slope that is twice that of the linear demand curve. Take the eample of a=3. What happens to the elasticity along the linear demand curve? 1.16
17 As output increases, the elasticity increases; Introductory Maths: Huw Dion. P a ; Pd dp ( a ) d ( a) a d 0 If =0 (P=a), =. If =a (P=0) =
18 Demand curve : constant elasticity of demand. Direct demand Inverse Demand Elasticity. ap 1 P a Pd P a P dp ap 1. If =1, then we have a rectangular hyperbola: P.=a. 1.18
19 The Yellow line represents the unit elastic demand curve. Total ependiture P.X is constant. The red line represents an elastic demand curve: revenue is decreasing with price. The green line represents an inelastic demand curve: revenue is increasing with price. 1.19
20 R ( ). a a MR a Revenue: output times price Revenue as a function of output. Marginal Revenue: zero if =1 (yellow line), strictly positive if >1 (red line) and strictly negative if <1 (green line). Cost functions. C() Total cost of producing output. For eample: c C ( ) F. F: overhead cost, does not depend on output. c is marginal cost (MC): dc d c 1.0
21 Average Cost: C ( ) AC( ) dac C ' C 1 C C ' d Average cost is total output divided by output. The Change in AC as output increases (slope of AC). 1 ( MC AC ) AC is decreasing if MC<AC; increasing if MC>AC, For eample, take the previous cost function with F=, c=1 1 C ( ). MC 1 AC dac 1 d dac d dac 0 d dac 0 d dac 0 d 1.1 And MC>AC MC<AC MC=AC
22 Thus efficient least cost production occurs when AC=MC. 1.
23 Concavity and Conveity. The second derivative of a differentiable function is obtained by differentiating the first derivate: d y d dy d d d dy d y d d y y=f(): the first derivative is written as as f '' f ', the second derivative A function is strictly concave if for all d y f '' d <0. This means that the slope of the function is decreasing (becoming less positive, more negative). Eample: The quadratic function y A f ' f '' 0 1.3
24 The red line is the quadratic y decreasing in f '' 0. ; the green line is the first derivative f '. This is A concave function has the following shape: if it is increasing in, the slope is becoming less steep as increases (see <0 above); if it is decreasing in, the slope becomes more negative (steeper see >0 above). A concave function is like an upside down bow or Hill. 1.4
25 A function is strictly conve if the slope (derivative) is increasing in. Take the quadratic y A f ' f '' 0 The green line is the quadratic (A=-): the red the first derivative. A conve function is like a bowl. Note that the negative of a concave function is conve: if f() is strictly conve, then f() is strictly concave and vice versa. 1.5
26 Other functions: a dy a d y a e ae a e 0 d d dy 1 d y 1 ln a 0 0 d d Eponential is conve Log is concave. 1.6
27 Linear Functions are neither strictly conve nor strictly concave: the second derivative is always zero (the slope is always the same) y ab dy b d d y 0 d a is the intercept term This slopes up if b>0, down if b<0. We say that a function is weakly concave if its second derivative is always non-positive: this allows it to be zero. A strictly concave function has a strictly negative second derivative, Likewise strictly conve has f '' 0 and a weakly conve function f '' 0. A linear function is both weakly concave and weakly conve! 1.7
28 Economics Eamples: Cost Function: 1 C C C ( ). ; ' ; '' 1 0 In economics, we usually assume that cost functions are strictly conve.. Total cost is the green line Marginal cost the red: this is always increasing, so the function is strictly conve. Yellow AC. 1.8
29 Sometimes in economics we have a linear cost function: C ( ) ; C' 1; C'' 0. Green: total cost. Red: constant MC Yellow AC, always falling (MC<AC) This has increasing returns to scale (AC always falling). 1.9
30 Demand and revenue functions. Linear Demand: Revenue MR is decreasing in : Revenue is strictly concave in: output. P ( ) a R ( ).( a) a R' a R'' 0 Constant Elasticity: R ( ). a a R' a R'' a Marginal revenue positive (negative) as >1 (<1) Revenue is strictly concave (conve) as >1 (<1) 1.30
31 P R ( ) Red line: =1 Green line: strictly concave and increasing: >1 Yellow line: strictly conve and decreasing: <1 1.31
32 Summary: What we have learned. 1. How to differentiate. Break down a comple epression into simple parts and differentiate using the rules.. Second derivatives and how they relate to concavity and conveity. 3. Applications to economics: demand and revenue functions; cost functions. 4. Some properties of functions: any strictly monotonic function is invertible and 1-1. Now, get practising and apply the lessons to some economic problems! 1.3
