Cevap: -\frac{4}{x^2}; -4/x^2; -4 / x^2; -\frac{4}{x^{2}}

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 lim⁡h→04x−4(x+h)h⋅x(x+h)=lim⁡h→0−4hh⋅x(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 lim⁡h→0−4x(x+h)=−4x2\lim_{h \to 0} -\frac{4}{x(x+h)} = -\frac{4}{x^2}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

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 h→0h \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: 8

Cevap

The numerical value of the derivative of f(x)=3x2−4x+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 h→0h \to 0.

1
Calculate f(2)f(2)
f(2)=5f(2) = 5
Substitute x=2x = 2 into f(x)=3x2−4x+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 h→0h \to 0
f′(2)=8f'(2) = 8
As hh approaches 0, the term 3h3h vanishes, leaving 8.

Adım Adım Çözüm

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 lim⁡h→0f(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 x2−x2=0x^2 - x^2 = 0 and 3x−3x=03x - 3x = 0 cancel out, leaving terms containing hh, which can be divided by hh.
4
Evaluate the limit as h→0h \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.

The derivative evaluated at x=3x = 3 is equal to 12.
Evaluating the definition of the derivative from first principles for f(x)=2x3−9x2+12x−5f(x) = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 5 yields lim⁡h→0f(x+h)−f(x)h=6x2−18x+12\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = 6x^2 - 18x + 12. Substituting x=3x = 3 gives 6(3)2−18(3)+12=54−54+12=126(3)^2 - 18(3) + 12 = 54 - 54 + 12 = 12.

Set up the difference quotient definition from first principles
f′(x)=lim⁡h→0f(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)=2x3−9x2+12x−5f(x) = 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x - 5 and expand
f(x+h)=2x3+6x2h+6xh2+2h3−9x2−18xh−9h2+12x+12h−5f(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+2h2−18x−9h+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 h→0h \to 0
f′(x)=6x2−18x+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)2−18(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.

Cevap

The value of the derivative at x=1x = 1 is 7.
Using first principles, the derivative is defined as f′(x)=lim⁡h→0f(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. Taking the limit as h→0h \to 0 yields the final result of 7.

4+7h+2h2−4h=7+2h\frac{4 + 7h + 2h^2 - 4}{h} = 7 + 2h
Dividing by hh eliminates the indeterminate form before taking the limit.
4
Evaluate the limit as h→0h \to 0
f′(1)=lim⁡h→0(7+2h)=7f'(1) = \lim_{h \to 0} (7 + 2h) = 7
Taking h=0h = 0 in the simplified quotient gives the exact rate of change at x=1x = 1.

1
Evaluate f(x+h)f(x+h) for the function f(x)=x2+4xf(x) = x^2 + 4x
f(x+h)=(x+h)2+4(x+h)=x2+2xh+h2+4x+4hf(x+h) = (x+h)^2 + 4(x+h) = x^2 + 2xh + h^2 + 4x + 4h
Substitute (x+h)(x+h) into every instance of xx in the function and expand the terms.
2
Subtract f(x)f(x) from f(x+h)f(x+h) to find the numerator of the difference quotient
f(x+h)−f(x)=(x2+2xh+h2+4x+4h)−(x2+4x)=2xh+h2+4hf(x+h) - f(x) = (x^2 + 2xh + h^2 + 4x + 4h) - (x^2 + 4x) = 2xh + h^2 + 4h
Subtracting original function terms cancels out x2x^2 and 4x4x.
3
Divide the result by hh
\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h} = \frac{2xh + h^2 + 4h}{h} = 2x + h + 4
Factor out hh from the numerator and cancel with the denominator hh.

Evaluate f(x+h)f(x+h) by expanding 5(x+h)2−2(x+h)5(x+h)^2 - 2(x+h)
f(x+h)=5(x2+2xh+h2)−2x−2h=5x2+10xh+5h2−2x−2hf(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.

Cevap: 2x−52x - 5

Cevap

The derivative of f(x)=x2−5xf(x) = x^2 - 5x with respect to xx is 2x−52x - 5.
Evaluating the difference quotient f(x+h)−f(x)h\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} for f(x)=x2−5xf(x) = x^2 - 5x gives x2+2xh+h2−5x−5h−(x2−5x)h=2x+h−5\frac{x^2+2xh+h^2-5x-5h-(x^2-5x)}{h} = 2x + h - 5. Taking the limit as h→0h \to 0 yields 2x−52x - 5.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Write down the definition of the derivative from first principles.
f′(x)=lim⁡h→0f(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)=x2−5xf(x) = x^2 - 5x and f(x+h)=(x+h)2−5(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 h→0h \to 0.
\lim_{h \to 0} (2x + h - 5) = 2x - 5
As hh approaches 0, the term hh vanishes, giving the final derivative.

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 h→0h \to 0 gives 6x+56x + 5.

The option stating −2x2-\frac{2}{x^2} is correct because applying the first principles limit formula lim⁡h→02x+h−2xh\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\frac{2}{x+h} - \frac{2}{x}}{h} gives lim⁡h→0−2hhx(x+h)=lim⁡h→0−2x(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=lim⁡h→0f(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 h→0h \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.
