Document Summary

Examine the following results from the 2. 1 homework. What pattern does there appear to be between f (x) and. In fact, the above table yields our first two rules of differentiation: If f (x) is a constant function, f (x) = c , then. F (x) = lim h 0 f (x + h) f (x) h. We can also verify this graphically, as follows. We can see that the slope of the tangent at any point on y = c is zero. y c. If f (x) = x n , where n is any real number, then. Proof: let f (x) = x n . Then, using the definition of the derivative we have. F (x) = nx n 1 . x f (x + h) f (x) F (x) = lim h 0 h (x + h)n x n h nc1x n 1h + x n + nc2x n 2h2 + + ncn 1x1hn 1 + hn.
