2.8.1

f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}

By definition of the derivative,

f'(x) = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

We have

f(x+h) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}

and

f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}} - \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}

Combine these fractions into one with a common denominator:

f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac{4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}

Rationalize the numerator by multiplying uniformly by the conjugate of the numerator, and simplify the result:

f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x}\right)^2 - \left(4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)^2}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16(3-x) - 16(3-(x+h))}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16h}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}

Now divide this by <em>h</em> and take the limit as <em>h</em> approaches 0 :

\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-x}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-x}\right)} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = \dfrac{16}{4\left(\sqrt{3-x}\right)^3} = \boxed{\dfrac4{(3-x)^{3/2}}}

3.1.1.

f(x) = 4x^5 - \dfrac1{4x^2} + \sqrt[3]{x} - \pi^2 + 10e^3

Differentiate one term at a time:

• power rule

\left(4x^5\right)' = 4\left(x^5\right)' = 4\cdot5x^4 = 20x^4

\left(\dfrac1{4x^2}\right)' = \dfrac14\left(x^{-2}\right)' = \dfrac14\cdot-2x^{-3} = -\dfrac1{2x^3}

\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)' = \left(x^{1/3}\right)' = \dfrac13 x^{-2/3} = \dfrac1{3x^{2/3}}

The last two terms are constant, so their derivatives are both zero.

So you end up with

f'(x) = \boxed{20x^4 + \dfrac1{2x^3} + \dfrac1{3x^{2/3}}}
