Find the indicated one-sided limit, if it exists:

1 answer:

8 0

The main point which will immediately make it clear is that you have to plug in 2 for x so that you can find the linit. So, using this simple method you will get the -1/4 answer. Hope you will agree with me and find this useful! Regards.

Derivative of a constant is 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle y = \sqrt{x - 3}$

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = (x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x - 3]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} \cdot (1 \cdot x^{1 - 1} - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$

Step 3: Solve

Find coordinates

x-coordinate

Substitute in y' [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply √(x - 3) on both sides: $\displaystyle \sqrt{x - 3} = 1$
[Equality Property] Square both sides: $\displaystyle x - 3 = 1$
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle x = 4$
