Cevap

The derivative dydx\frac{dy}{dx} is 4x2-\frac{4}{x^2}.
Substituting f(x)=4xf(x) = \frac{4}{x} into the first principles limit formula yields limh04x4(x+h)hx(x+h)=limh04hhx(x+h)\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{4x - 4(x+h)}{h \cdot x(x+h)} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-4h}{h \cdot x(x+h)}. Canceling hh gives limh04x(x+h)=4x2\lim_{h \to 0} -\frac{4}{x(x+h)} = -\frac{4}{x^2}.

1
Write the first principles formula and substitute f(x)=4xf(x) = \frac{4}{x}.
\frac{dy}{dx} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{4}{x+h} - \frac{4}{x}}{h}
Apply the definition of differentiation from first principles.
2
Combine the fractions in the numerator using a common denominator x(x+h)x(x+h).
\frac{4}{x+h} - \frac{4}{x} = \frac{4x - 4(x+h)}{x(x+h)} = \frac{4x - 4x - 4h}{x(x+h)} = \frac{-4h}{x(x+h)}
Simplify the numerator into a single fractional expression.
3
Divide the simplified numerator by hh and cancel the common factor of hh.
\frac{\frac{-4h}{x(x+h)}}{h} = \frac{-4h}{h \cdot x(x+h)} = -\frac{4}{x(x+h)}
Eliminate the indeterminate factor of hh from the denominator.
4
Evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0.
\lim_{h \to 0} -\frac{4}{x(x+h)} = -\frac{4}{x(x+0)} = -\frac{4}{x^2}
Substitute h=0h = 0 into the simplified algebraic expression.

Cevap: 4x+2h+54x + 2h + 5

Cevap

The fully simplified difference quotient is 4x+2h+54x + 2h + 5.
Expanding f(x+h)=2(x+h)2+5(x+h)f(x+h) = 2(x+h)^2 + 5(x+h) gives 2x2+4xh+2h2+5x+5h2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 5x + 5h. Subtracting f(x)=2x2+5xf(x) = 2x^2 + 5x leaves 4xh+2h2+5h4xh + 2h^2 + 5h. Dividing this expression term-by-term by hh yields 4x+2h+54x + 2h + 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate f(x+h)f(x+h) for the function f(x)=2x2+5xf(x) = 2x^2 + 5x.
f(x+h)=2(x+h)2+5(x+h)=2(x2+2xh+h2)+5x+5h=2x2+4xh+2h2+5x+5hf(x+h) = 2(x+h)^2 + 5(x+h) = 2(x^2 + 2xh + h^2) + 5x + 5h = 2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 5x + 5h
To apply first principles, we must replace every instance of xx with (x+h)(x+h) and expand completely.
2
Form the numerator of the difference quotient, f(x+h)f(x)f(x+h) - f(x).
f(x+h)f(x)=(2x2+4xh+2h2+5x+5h)(2x2+5x)=4xh+2h2+5hf(x+h) - f(x) = (2x^2 + 4xh + 2h^2 + 5x + 5h) - (2x^2 + 5x) = 4xh + 2h^2 + 5h
Subtracting f(x)f(x) cancels out the terms 2x22x^2 and 5x5x that do not contain hh.
3
Divide the result by hh to get the difference quotient.
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{4xh + 2h^2 + 5h}{h} = 4x + 2h + 5
Factoring out hh from the numerator and canceling it with the denominator simplifies the quotient.

Cevap

The numerical value of the derivative of f(x)=3x24x+1f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 1 at x=2x = 2 is 8.
Using the first-principles limit definition, the increment f(2+h)f(2)f(2+h) - f(2) simplifies to 8h+3h28h + 3h^2. Dividing by hh yields 8+3h8 + 3h, which evaluates to 8 as h0h \to 0.

1
Calculate f(2)f(2)
f(2)=5f(2) = 5
Substitute x=2x = 2 into f(x)=3x24x+1f(x) = 3x^2 - 4x + 1.
2
Expand f(2+h)f(2+h)
f(2+h)=5+8h+3h2f(2+h) = 5 + 8h + 3h^2
Substitute x=2+hx = 2+h into f(x)f(x) and expand algebraically.
3
Simplify the difference quotient f(2+h)f(2)h\frac{f(2+h) - f(2)}{h}
8h+3h2h=8+3h\frac{8h + 3h^2}{h} = 8 + 3h
Subtract f(2)f(2) from f(2+h)f(2+h) and divide every term by hh.
4
Evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0
f(2)=8f'(2) = 8
As hh approaches 0, the term 3h3h vanishes, leaving 8.

1
Set up the difference quotient using the definition of differentiation from first principles
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{[(x+h)^2 + 3(x+h)] - [x^2 + 3x]}{h}
The definition of derivative from first principles requires finding limh0f(x+h)f(x)h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}.
2
Expand algebraic terms in the numerator
\frac{x^2 + 2xh + h^2 + 3x + 3h - x^2 - 3x}{h}
Expanding (x+h)2=x2+2xh+h2(x+h)^2 = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 and 3(x+h)=3x+3h3(x+h) = 3x + 3h allows terms to be combined.
3
Simplify the numerator by canceling like terms and dividing by hh
\frac{2xh + h^2 + 3h}{h} = 2x + h + 3
The terms x2x2=0x^2 - x^2 = 0 and 3x3x=03x - 3x = 0 cancel out, leaving terms containing hh, which can be divided by hh.
4
Evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0
\lim_{h \to 0} (2x + h + 3) = 2x + 3
Setting h=0h = 0 in the simplified quotient yields the final derivative f(x)=2x+3f'(x) = 2x + 3.

Set up the difference quotient definition from first principles
f(x)=limh0f(x+h)f(x)hf'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}
Differentiation from first principles requires finding the limit of the average rate of change as the increment hh approaches zero.
2
Substitute (x+h)(x+h) into f(x)=2x39x2+12x5f(x) = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 5 and expand
f(x+h)=2x3+6x2h+6xh2+2h39x218xh9h2+12x+12h5f(x+h) = 2x^3 + 6x^2h + 6xh^2 + 2h^3 - 9x^2 - 18xh - 9h^2 + 12x + 12h - 5
Expanding binomial terms (x+h)3(x+h)^3 and (x+h)2(x+h)^2 reveals all components involving hh.
3
Calculate f(x+h)f(x)f(x+h) - f(x) and factor out hh
f(x+h)f(x)=h(6x2+6xh+2h218x9h+12)f(x+h) - f(x) = h(6x^2 + 6xh + 2h^2 - 18x - 9h + 12)
Terms independent of hh cancel out completely, isolating hh as a common factor.
4
Divide by hh and evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0
f(x)=6x218x+12f'(x) = 6x^2 - 18x + 12
Canceling hh resolves the 00\frac{0}{0} indeterminate form, allowing direct substitution of h=0h=0.
5
Substitute x=3x = 3 into f(x)f'(x)
f(3)=6(3)218(3)+12=12f'(3) = 6(3)^2 - 18(3) + 12 = 12
Evaluating at x=3x = 3 gives the numerical value of the instantaneous rate of change at that specific point.

Using first principles, the derivative is defined as f(x)=limh0f(x+h)f(x)hf'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}. Evaluating at x=1x = 1, we find f(1)=4f(1) = 4 and f(1+h)=4+7h+2h2f(1+h) = 4 + 7h + 2h^2. Subtracting f(1)f(1) leaves 7h+2h27h + 2h^2, and dividing by hh yields 7+2h7 + 2h.

1
Evaluate f(x+h)f(x+h) by expanding 5(x+h)22(x+h)5(x+h)^2 - 2(x+h)
f(x+h)=5(x2+2xh+h2)2x2h=5x2+10xh+5h22x2hf(x+h) = 5(x^2 + 2xh + h^2) - 2x - 2h = 5x^2 + 10xh + 5h^2 - 2x - 2h
Substitute (x+h)(x+h) into the function definition.
2
Subtract f(x)f(x) from f(x+h)f(x+h)
f(x+h)f(x)=(5x2+10xh+5h22x2h)(5x22x)=10xh+5h22hf(x+h) - f(x) = (5x^2 + 10xh + 5h^2 - 2x - 2h) - (5x^2 - 2x) = 10xh + 5h^2 - 2h
Determine the numerator of the difference quotient by cancelling common terms.
3
Divide the numerator by hh

Cevap: 2x52x - 5

Cevap

The derivative of f(x)=x25xf(x) = x^2 - 5x with respect to xx is 2x52x - 5.
Evaluating the difference quotient f(x+h)f(x)h\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} for f(x)=x25xf(x) = x^2 - 5x gives x2+2xh+h25x5h(x25x)h=2x+h5\frac{x^2+2xh+h^2-5x-5h-(x^2-5x)}{h} = 2x + h - 5. Taking the limit as h0h \to 0 yields 2x52x - 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Write down the definition of the derivative from first principles.
f(x)=limh0f(x+h)f(x)hf'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}
This is the standard formula for differentiation from first principles.
2
Substitute f(x)=x25xf(x) = x^2 - 5x and f(x+h)=(x+h)25(x+h)f(x+h) = (x+h)^2 - 5(x+h) into the definition.
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{[(x+h)^2 - 5(x+h)] - (x^2 - 5x)}{h}
This sets up the difference quotient for the given polynomial function.
3
Expand the numerator and combine like terms.
\frac{x^2 + 2xh + h^2 - 5x - 5h - x^2 + 5x}{h} = \frac{2xh + h^2 - 5h}{h} = 2x + h - 5
Expanding allows x2x^2 and 5x-5x terms to cancel out, leaving terms containing hh.
4
Evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0.
\lim_{h \to 0} (2x + h - 5) = 2x - 5
As hh approaches 0, the term hh vanishes, giving the final derivative.

Using the first-principles formula f(x)=limh0f(x+h)f(x)hf'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}, we expand f(x+h)=3(x+h)2+5(x+h)=3x2+6xh+3h2+5x+5hf(x+h) = 3(x+h)^2 + 5(x+h) = 3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + 5x + 5h. Subtracting f(x)=3x2+5xf(x) = 3x^2 + 5x yields 6xh+3h2+5h6xh + 3h^2 + 5h. Dividing by hh produces 6x+3h+56x + 3h + 5. Taking the limit as h0h \to 0 gives 6x+56x + 5.

Substitute (x+h)(x+h) into the original function expression and expand algebraically.

Find the difference f(x+h)f(x)f(x+h) - f(x)
f(x+h)f(x)=(3x2+6xh+3h2+5x+5h)(3x2+5x)=6xh+3h2+5hf(x+h) - f(x) = (3x^2 + 6xh + 3h^2 + 5x + 5h) - (3x^2 + 5x) = 6xh + 3h^2 + 5h
Subtract the original function f(x)f(x) to find the net change in output.

Divide the difference by hh to set up the difference quotient
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{6xh + 3h^2 + 5h}{h} = 6x + 3h + 5
Cancel out hh from each term in the numerator.

2x2-\frac{2}{x^2}
The option stating 2x2-\frac{2}{x^2} is correct because applying the first principles limit formula limh02x+h2xh\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{2}{x+h} - \frac{2}{x}}{h} gives limh02hhx(x+h)=limh02x(x+h)=2x2\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-2h}{h x(x+h)} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-2}{x(x+h)} = -\frac{2}{x^2}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Set up the difference quotient definition of derivative from first principles.
dydx=limh0f(x+h)f(x)h\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}
First principles definition states that the derivative is the limit of the rate of change as hh approaches zero.
2
Substitute f(x)=2xf(x) = \frac{2}{x} and f(x+h)=2x+hf(x+h) = \frac{2}{x+h} into the formula.
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{\frac{2}{x+h} - \frac{2}{x}}{h}
Replacing the function expressions yields the explicit algebraic fraction.
3
Combine the fractions in the numerator over a common denominator.
\frac{2x - 2(x+h)}{x(x+h) \cdot h} = \frac{2x - 2x - 2h}{h x(x+h)} = \frac{-2h}{h x(x+h)}
Simplifying the numerator yields a factor of hh that can be cancelled with the denominator.
4
Cancel the common factor hh and evaluate the limit as h0h \to 0.
\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-2}{x(x+h)} = \frac{-2}{x(x+0)} = -\frac{2}{x^2}
Dividing out hh allows direct substitution of h=0h = 0 without producing an indeterminate form.
