Chapter 2: Q. 32 (page 184)

Use (a) the h鈫�0 definition of the derivative and then (b) the z鈫抍 definition of the derivative to find f'(c) for each function f and value x = c.
$f (x) = \frac{x^{2} 鈭� 3 x}{x + 1}, x = 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) $f^{'} (c) = - 3$

(b) $f^{'} (c) = - 3$

Step by step solution

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

Given function is $f (x) = \frac{x^{2} 鈭� 3 x}{x + 1}$

We have to find $f^{'} (c)$ at $x = 0$

Part (a) Step 2. Find the f'(c)

We have to find the derivative of the function using h鈫�0 definition,

Therefore,

$\begin{aligned} lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{f (0 + h) 鈭� f (0)}{h} = lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{\frac{(0 + h)^{2} 鈭� 3 (0 + h)}{0 + h + 1} 鈭� \frac{0 鈭� 0}{0 + 1}}{h} \\ = lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{\frac{h^{2} 鈭� 3 h}{h + 1}}{h} \\ = lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{h (h 鈭� 3)}{h (h + 1)} \\ = lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{h (h 鈭� 3)}{h (h + 1)} \\ = lim_{h 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{h 鈭� 3}{h + 1} \\ = 鈭� 3 \end{aligned}$

Part (b) Step 1. Find f'(c)

Find the derivate of the function using $x 鈫� 0$ definition,

$\begin{aligned} lim_{x 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{f (x) 鈭� f (0)}{x 鈭� 0} = lim_{x 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{\frac{x^{2} 鈭� 3 x}{x + 1} 鈭� \frac{0 鈭� 0}{0 + 1}}{x} \\ = lim_{x 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{x (x 鈭� 3)}{x (x + 1)} \\ = lim_{x 鈫� 0} 鈥� \frac{x 鈭� 3}{x + 1} \\ = 鈭� 3 \end{aligned}$
